Website coming soon...

Our church website is steadily making progress. Right now, we have a basic placeholder up. Not any links or anything, but if you want to check it out, here's the link:

Old Hickory Church of Christ

Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of Luke

Coming up in October we'll have a new Bible study at Old Hickory. We've had about 31 different members contribute devotional thoughts based on different passages in Luke. It's divided into 31 days. Be planning to spend the month of October learning more about Jesus through the eyes of Luke. We're getting some nifty calendar-style books printed out so you can have one to read every day.

Manuel will be dearly missed

I just got an e-mail and learned the very sad news that Manuel passed away after having some sort of accident at his daughter's house. He was such a pleasure to be around, and we really have enjoyed getting to know him whenever we have been in Monterrey, Mexico. He was a construction machine, and consistently outworked most of us. I believe he was 79 years old. He will be dearly missed by us, and especially by the Los Nogales Iglesia de Cristo where he was a member.

Back To School Bash

Many thanks to the Bells for having us over for our annual Back to School bash. We really had a variety of good stuff going on: Video games, swimming, boccie ball, football, board games, basketball, and barbecue! Here is a sampling of pictures. I'll try and add the rest on Facebook soon.

Kidnapped...

The kidnap breakfast was really great! Mrs. Drake had some awesome food ready to go, and we managed to take 5/6 kids completely off guard! haha!!

David claims he was already awake. I beg to differ.

Here is the link to my facebook album.

Panorama! Mexico Edition

Though these are on Facebook, I really liked how these panoramic shots turned out. One is a view of the mountain near the place we were relaxing on Sunday. One is a shot of the front of the church building, and the other is a shot from the top of the church, looking back toward the street where we normally parked. Lots of beautiful things to see in Monterrey. Next year maybe I can remember to bring a tripod so I can rotate the camera on a more consistent basis. You can see a little overlapping/duplication in some places on the pictures.

Mexico Trip

We really had a terrific trip to Mexico this year. For those of you who are curious about what we did, but who don't have Facebook, have no fear! You can access the pictures I have put up on Facebook by clicking here. The second album is here.
