Getting ready for OS 09 - rev 4-11-09

RE: Os leadership: At this juncture Pastor Pastor Kevin and Ron McVean are leading the effort and working with Brad Soukup - Os & Beyond ministries (Phillips WI). Dates have been set:

. Os week 1 - July 31 (Fri) Group Orientation
. Aug 1 (Sat) - Aug 7 (Sat)

. Os week 2 - Aug 14 (Fri) Group Orientation
. Aug 15 (Sat) - Aug 21 (Sat)

As usual, A presentation/report of some form will be made in church on the returning Sunday.

The immediate need for anyone interested in going is to obtain a passport or "Border Crossing" card. It only takes two weeks to obtain a full-fledged passport. The "Card" is supposed to take less time. The drivers license office in the mall was extremely knowledgeable & helpful in getting this done.

We (Kevin & I) will be putting together an adult team to organize and implement a plan as we get nearer to trip time.
