SSP 2008 Video Presentation

Hot off the internet press so to speak, fresh from the cutting room of my computer is the 2008 video presentation, after the jump…

SSP Information Update:

Well, as you all know from the meeting tonight, the plans have changed slightly, so some of the scheduling is a little different, but the important information is still applicable, so pay attention to that.

SSP Information

Here are the final plans for SSP (full itinerary after the break):

Be at Zao on Wednesday July 16 and bring your parents as we will be going over these plans and any other necessary information.

On Friday, July 18 we will be traveling by bus and train to Sacramento where we will stay in the same church we stayed last year.  On Sunday we will take rental cars to SSP where we will stay the week.

The following Saturday (July 26) we will be returning to Sacramento by rental car and then will take the train and bus home.

IMPORTANT:

1. You must bring photo ID in order to travel.  As suggested by the name it must have your name and picture on it.  Acceptable forms of ID include but are not limited to: driver’s license, state ID, school ID.
2. Pack compactly and in the fewest pieces of luggage possible.  You will have to transport all of your luggage and an additional piece of equipment (either a 5 gallon water conainer or large first aid kit) by yourself.
3. Bring enough money for Friday dinner, all day Saturday, and Sunday breakfast for the trip up.  You also need money for Saturday lunch and dinner.  Be aware that dinner on the train will likely be slightly more expensive.
4. Take good, exciting, and interesting pictures as I will be putting together another slide show this year and it turns out better and is easier with cool pictures.

Announcements!

1.  No Sunday School this Sunday as Amanda is out of town.

2.  No Zao on Wednesday as Amanda is out of town and there were no good substitutes available.

3.  We will be discussing week 2 of our Revelations study next Sunday (the first Sunday in July).  So be ready.

4.  We have an offer to go waterskiing in August.  If you are interested and committed, let us know so we can decide whether or not to go.

Multi-Media Applications!

I thought we should test the full capacity of this blog and so after the jump I’ve embedded a few videos. It’s important to realize first the intention of these videos. These were used for outreach to make people laugh and realize their preconceived notions of Jesus were wrong. This more accurately describes the intention of the videos:

In the Spring of 2003, Vintage21 had a four week series on Jesus Christ, taking a deep look at what He said and did. It was difficult at times to get past our preconceived notions that had been developed by staunch, starched Sunday School classes of old. This is a satirical look at what some people think Jesus is like. Thank goodness He’s not.

This is not Jesus.
