Dec 12th we will meet for the last time this year.
Dec 19th No meeting
Dec 26th No meeting

Jan 2nd we will resume

If anyone was still interested in participating in feeding the homeless next Thursday and has not signed up drop me a line. The details are in an earlier note that I sent out at last week.

FW: Your Daily Devotional for December 7, 2011

Our Best Friend Is Jesus
John 15:9-17

Years ago the Sunday School teachers in my church would teach preschoolers a little chorus that included the line, "My best friend is Jesus." As those children grew into adulthood, they naturally put aside juvenile songs like this one. But sadly, they also frequently seemed to grow out of the idea of Jesus being a friend.

As believers learn more about God, they rightly elevate Him to be the Lord of their lives and acknowledge Him as sovereign ruler over all the earth. It is easier to think of One so high and mighty as Creator, Savior, and Lord than to "lower" Him to the position of Friend. But Jesus makes a point of telling His disciples that He is both a transcendent deity—the Son of God—and their companion (John 15:15).

The offer of friendship extends to modern disciples as well. Like the original twelve followers, we are privileged to say that Christ laid down His life for us in a supreme act of love and devotion (v. 13). What is more, His Spirit reveals the truth of Scripture to our hearts so that we can learn more about God and His ways. In other words, Jesus has made known to us the things He heard from His Father. A man doesn't tell secrets to slaves; he tells them to his friends (v. 15).

Teaching children to sing of their friendship with Jesus is a wise idea. But I wonder when some grown believers will learn to sing of that special relationship again? May we never become so religious, so pious, or so full of our own maturity that we will not say, "My best friend is Jesus Christ."

Initiative Out Reach ­ Feed the Hungry BBQ on December 15th

Out Reach – Feed the Hungry BBQ on December 15th, from 4-5pm

TI Tucson Initiatives will be sponsoring an Out Reach event this Dec 15th, we need your help to make this a successful event. 

Hi everyone. I look forward to a great Christmas Season don't you? Why not start it off with booking a day (only a few hours actually) to help others, that always makes one feel good and guess what? It won't cost you a dime! 

The few of us that spent this past Thanksgiving feeding the hungry proved to be quite a fulfilling and rewarding event. We have another opportunity to reach out again to the needy during this Christmas Season. We have a lot of extra food items from our past events here at TI,  we would like to donate those items to those that are hungry and on the streets of our Community. We will again work in conjunction with the Giving Tree as this is an organized, reoccurring event for them.

Basically we will be setting up our BBQ grill and grilling up hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken. We will also provide the buns and condiments. Below is a list of activities that are available,  let me know which activity you would like to do!

Preparing the "Fixins" Cutting the tomatoes, lettuce and onions
Setting up grill
Helping put the grill on and off the truck
Setting up tables at the "Giving Tree Feeding Lot"
Clean up and taking down the tables
Serving the food
If you can't come, send along a casserole, dessert or other food item

When: Thursday, Dec. 15th 2011
Where: The "Feeding Lot"
4431 East 22nd St. between the Family Dollar and Palm Court Apartments, E of Columbus
Time: 4 –5pm

Works

So with all of our latest discussions regarding good works I have an opportunity for each of you. This Thanksgiving a small group of Tiers are going to give up their normal dinner preparation time and serve the less fortunate at the feeding area with the Giving Tree. All of you are welcome to come, but if you can't you can still help out by providing a dessert to send over to go on the desert table. I will collect all dessert items on Wednesday and will take them down there on Thanksgiving. Its a really small request that each of us can do and it will go directly to the less fortunate (I promise not to eat the desserts myself, maybe). We need to gather enough desserts for 250 people. You will see another all employee e-mail go out but this is a special request to you guys, the givers, the doers of good works!

Thanks for your help!

FW: Recording Available for Mormon-Evangelical Dialog

This was presented in Dallas last week and was very interesting, for those of you who are interested in viewing you can check it out below.

From: "Dalley, Craig" <cdalley@ti.com>
Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 10:50:21 -0700
Subject: Recording Available for Mormon-Evangelical Dialog

We have received multiple requests for a link to the recording of the Mormon-Evangelical Dialog that was held last Thursday at TI. The recording is now available at the following link: http://ti.webex.com/webex/playback.php?FileName=http://dles292.itg.ti.com/webex/2011-10-27_CVI/2011-10-27_CVI.wrf.

 

Although we have received a lot of verbal feedback, we would also appreciate your written inputs. If you attended the session last week or if you listen to the recording, please take the time to send your responses to the below three questions to cdalley@ti.com.

 

1.      What did you like about the dialog?

2.      What did you not like / what did you think could be improved?

3.      If you're not already on the Christian Values Initiative mailing list, would you like to be added to the mailing list?

 

If you were not able to pick up the handout, "Some Guiding Principles for Constructive Conversation," these principles have been included in the attached Word document. And, finally, if you are interested in the book that Mormon scholar Dr. Millet and Evangelical pastor Rev. Johnson co-authored, it is available at http://standingtogether.org/resources.html.

 

Best regards,

CVI Leadership Team

A festival of carols

Please let me know if you would like to attend, I can either collect the money and get all the tickets or you can purchase them on your own. This is a really nice event and great for family and friends. These go pretty fast so let me know.


Ok, we have time to plan on this one. I would like to suggest a CVI outing on Saturday Dec 10th at 5pm. at Christ Community Church, 7801 E. Kenyon Dr., Tucson, AZ 85710


A FESTIVAL OF CAROLS Presents:

SEARCHING FOR THE KING

December 9, 10 and 11 

Tickets: $6 for adults, $3 for children 10 and under

Friday, December 9 at 7:00p.m./Saturday, December 10 at 5:00p.m./Sunday, December 11 at 5:00p.m.

 Searching for the King is the story of two journeys separated by two millennia, yet the questions faced by our travelers are universal in time and scope.  For both, the way is difficult and filled with many unknowns.  Each journey leads them on the ultimate search...the search for the King.

Please indicate in the comment section your preference of seating and we will get you the best possible seats according to your selection

Please join us for a brownbag presentation on applying faith in the workplace:

 

What: Doin' What You Can, Where You Are, with What You've Got

Who: John D. Pollard, Dallas Baptist University Corporate Liaison and Professor of Biblical Studies

When: Thursday August 25, noon – 1pm

Where: South Campus (Forest Lane) Conf Room 3 & 4 (glassed-in area on main spine just south of main cafeteria)

 

Description:

 

How can you bring your faith into the workplace?  You begin by viewing your abilities, resources, and position through the lens of Biblical truth. Your abilities, resources, and position are unique assets that God has invested in you.  God knows you better than you know yourself.  Why are you at work today?  God put you in that position to do what you can with what you have. 

 

When we meet together on August 25, we will begin by examining how God's see your job.  Then we'll discover how to move from making a living to impacting lives and from professing faith to expressing God's love, grace and truth.

 

Best regards,

CVI Leadership Team
