Peru Paper at the Oscars

Tim Peabody — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:36:02 +0000

Many of you remember Grace Bateman. She came to Kaleo on a Sunday morning and told us about her work with Peru Paper Company. Grace started Peru Paper Company in 2005 to give Peruvian women a fair employment opportunity making hand-made greeting cards to be sold in the U.S.

Things have picked up for PPC. Peru Paper greeting cards actually made it into twenty-five “swag bags” at the Academy Awards! (Those are the gift bags that the stars find in their rooms.) So Oprah, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Bridges, Morgan Freeman, and 21 other stars found a PPC greeting card in their swag bags!

Here’s the FOX 40 News segment.

You might find a cheap couch.
You can donate that old toaster to a good cause.

All the garage sale proceeds will be divided between volunteers. The more hours your put in, the bigger your share of the money. You can work any or all of the following days:

Saturday, March 13 from 8:00 a.m. to noon (20 person max)

How to Ask Stimulating Discussion Questions

Tim Peabody — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:02:49 +0000

Jesus wasn’t just a preacher. He was also a small-group leader. He knew the power of a good question. And he knew how to get people talking.

Preaching is important. But the reason we have small groups is so we can learn and apply the Bible together. That’s impossible without discussion. And the key to good discussion is preparing good questions.

Preparing the right questions before you start the meeting can give you assurance that the discussion will be lively and dynamic. Closed questions have only one correct answer. When a leader uses too many of them, he positions himself as a Bible expert who’s trying to discover the brightest, most biblically literate students.

Having a hard time getting anyone to speak up in your small group? Here’s some practical advice from the folks at SmallGroups.com.

Open Mic Night Results

Tim Peabody — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:50:50 +0000

Forty-two Buckets of Hope. Nine amazing acts. Five spontaneous dancers. Three serious rappers. Two wannabe rappers. One Britney Spears song. One stolen kiss (Duck was the victim). One amazing night.

The runner up was none other than Josh “Duck Belser” Long who sang “I Cross My Heart” by George Straight. His prize was a gift bag from Cups.

First prize went to the Christian rap group, Elevated. Nicholas Fuqua, Frankie Ferguson, and Deonte Stokes blew everyone else out of the water with their original song, “Dusk to Dawn.”

They won $100 cash plus free Chick-Fil-A for the rest of the semester, but the trio elected to donate their cash prize back to the Buckets of Hope fund. Watch these guys. They’re the real deal.

Check out the poll results below:
