Week 5 - MERRY CHRISTMAS

Best wishes to all of you as you celebrate this Christmas. My wish is that all of us may feel the peace that the birth of Jesus promises us. I was thinking early this weekend how the angels proclaimed "peace on earth," not at some future date and time, but right now. 

Paul David Tripp points out "how important and life-changing it is to know and believe that Jesus came so that we would have all that we need to live as he intended right now."  He continues  by pointing out "the right here, right now grace of Jesus assures us that the one who was born on Christmas now rules over all things for our sake."

May the right here, right now peace that Jesus birth promises, be with you today and in the days and weeks to come.

Team Activity

During the second week we have a great opportunity to work together but also to play together. Thursday, January 4 we will follow up our practice with a team breakfast at Russ' Restaurant North then head up to Northland Lanes for bowling. Guys will need about $25 to cover both breakfast and bowling.

Plan on picking up your son from Northland Lanes between 12:30 & 1:00 pm

Further Ahead

Saturday, January 13th: HOSTING the Division 3 Mid Season Invitational 

    Beyond conference and state, this meet is the biggest of the season. We have six or seven of the top ten teams in the state, along with other quality swimming and diving programs. This meet is limited to 4 individual entries per event, so some of our younger swimmers may only be swimming relays or just one individual event plus a relay.

We may still need timers or other helpers for this event. Click on the link in the side bar,

Thank you in advance for all of your help with this event.
