Mtm Thursday night, the 12th at McAllister

Hi everyone!
Hope this cloudy Sunday is good for you!

When i consider my life, i realize that i have so super much to be thankful for, and yet, many times, i find myself focusing on the things that aren't going right, the problems, the issues, the fears, the hurts, the wrongs, the insecurities - and before i know it, these are sucking away at my joy.

I hate it.

When i notice the wonder around me, the beauty of the world, the goodness of life and breath, how remarkable the gift of each moment is;  When i notice how amazing a God must be to create all this and to love so much to give such simple wonder;  When i notice how broken i have been and how much healing and good has come to my life; When i notice the bondage of my past and the freedom of my present, i begin to want to dance, to shout, to laugh, to run (except for an old arthritic knee), to share of this wonder of noticing with the people around me.  I begin to touch something More - something other than the usual of this messed up culture we live in.

This is what More than more is all about.

We are tired of the usual more of this world.  We seek after a God of More - we choose to notice - we choose to invite this God of wonder into the everyday moments of our lives and live lives of gratitude, noticing people and sharing of the goodness of life with them.  Daring to risk, to set aside the ease and comfort of our lives to care about someone else - to share of this goodness w them - and we choose to pursue this together, like a family that we choose.

More than more is always fun.  It always has some laughter and some goodness and some noticing.  More than more is always a place to hang w some people who can care about you just because - not because of what they can get from you.

We hope you will join us - there is fee, no requirement, no social class or norm, no age group, no dress code - we will gladly provide care for your kids - and we look forward to hanging out for a bit, hoping to help each other become.

 Thursday, the 12th of September, from 6:45-8:00pm, we will be gathering at McAllister recreation center, just off 20th and Schuyler ave, in Lafayette.  Hope to see you there!

Would love to see you there

Outreach in Lafayette Next Thursday

Hey guys!

Next Thursday, the 15th of August, we will be having an outreach here in town.  We will be moving Barbie across town and so we need all the help we can get!!  Please plan to join us!  Kids are welcome but there will not be organized childcare.  The good news is that at the place she is moving from, there is a lot of room for kids to play and enjoy.

This time we will be gathering at the place she will be moving from:

It is Ty and Marcie's house.  To get there, go on us 231 toward Crawfordsville.  Turn right on 400S, drive down to the line of mailboxes and turn right on the long drive and go to where you see the trailer being loaded (or ready to be, depending on when you get there) - I types this into apple maps and got the right place:
1216 W 400 S, Lafayette

We will meet at 6:30pm and go from there.

We will be having Bruno's for dinner and enjoying time together.

Hope to see you all there!

Big Outreach this Thursday, May 9th - need all the help we can get!!

Hi everyone!

We had a great outreach last Thursday, moving someone across town on a rainy night!  It was soggy, but fun to be together and we enjoyed some yummy El Maguey (thanks to them for catering) together!

This coming Thursday, May 9th, we will meet at McAllister and leave at 6pm sharp (dinner at 645pm there, all together) for Remington where we will be helping a kind woman with some repairs to her home.  Her house is in downtown Remington (not a very big downtown) - kids are welcome, but there will not be childcare for them.

Come in work clothes and be ready to get dirty!

We need you to bring:

Power washers
Hoses
gloves
shovels
rakes
garden hand tools to clean out flower beds
dry wall knives/tools
ladders
hammers
electrical tools - wiring a light
hand tools to fix toilet - she has the repair kit to fix it
paint scrapers

At More than more, we believe in truly noticing the people around us - seeing them as the wonderful creations that they are - and sharing God's love w them.  Doing this every day changes us.  This outreach is simply an extension of a relationship some of our Mtm people have w this lady where we, as a group, become the hands and feet of God, expressing His love through our support.

This is an outreach we will plan to wear our orange shirts for - if you don't have one, you can comment on this post, or reply to the email, w your size and we will try to have one there for you.  But even if you don't have one, you will want to be at this outreach - it is always so much fun to serve together!!

Hope to see you there!!

Outreach this Thursday night for Mtm

Hi everyone!  One of our favorite things to do at Mtm is to reach out and share the love of God with the people around us.

So, in that spirit, this Thursday night, , the 25th of April, we will be helping someone move.

We will meet to load the trailers and have dinner at 6:30PM at 101 Lorene Place, Apt 5, West Lafayette.

From there we will all drive over to where she is moving and unload.

It will be a fun time of hanging out, eating some amazing food, and sharing God's goodness.

Please plan to bring your kids, but if they are little, also to keep an eye on them, as there will be no organized child care.

Would love to see you all there to share in this fun night.
