We're BACK!

It has been awhile since our last post! Don't worry, we have been at work.

So pretty much there have been Two One Gospels, Two Men's/Women's nights. And the FAN INTO FLAME retreat.

So what is the Fan Into Flame retreat?  Well, we made a promo video for it....



This year's Fan Into Flame was SPOhio's biggest with over 90 people! It was a pretty awesome experience and God worked.  We, the creative team, made a BUNCH of videos for it! Follow this link to see them all...http://www.youtube.com/user/SPOhioCreativeTeam

Friday night we had our SPO Coffee House!
It was a night of poetry, music, and amazing talent!
People brought their fingers for some snappin' (apparently you don't clap at these things when you go to these poetry nights at coffee shops)

Also, Household Applications are due March 1st! What the heck is Household? Watch this video...

We're on the Loose

Right now the SPOhio creative team is on location at the Kairos Winter Conference. THIS IS EPIC. So far Narnia, Dead Poets Society, and Julia Roberts have been featured in talks by the ever-amazing Dan Keating. Thats right. If you aren't here, you should be here.

This conference is so intense that Andrew from the creative team PASSED OUT during some praise and worship. Okay, that's because he is sick; it's also funny because he is writing this blurb about himself in the third person. Quite the adventure.

This really is a saweet event which gets MAJOR SPOINTS and we recommend that you come next year.  Fo sho.

OH! Did you also know that there is another One Gospel this Thursday, January 13? JENNA KRAUSE is the speaker and will be discussing the theme of the night: I AM SENT. Twill be epic.

Do you want extra spoints? Ask Jenna to sing the Moose Song before One Gospel. She'll know what you're talking about.

Have you felt a twitch in your back lately? Do you need a spark in your life? Do you use a french folding fan? Do you wear Old Spice? (Andrew has Old Spice Swagger, Fiji, Matterhorn, Showtime, Aqua Reef and Pure Sport in his possession. It was a really great Christmas) DO YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR FAITH AND YOUR LIFE?

Sign up. More information to come!

Merry Christmas!

Woah, it has been awhile since our last post! Why you ask? Because we haven't written anything since the last one silly.

Well now, We suppose you want to be updated on what has happened since Thanksgiving.

The last One Gospel of 2010 happened on December 2nd, and it was a major win!  The theme of the night was "I Am Yours," and there was an SPO One Gospel final exam, an epic talk, and a video made by your favorite team was made!  Check it out!





On behalf of all of SPO, the creative team hopes you have had a great Advent season, and that you will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Be ready for the epicness that willl occur in 2011.  I can feel the fire burning already, can you help fan it? (hint).

If you feel like doing something amazing, sign up for this.  That is all we are going to say right now.

Thanksgiving Break!!!

Gobble gobble.

Do you hear that?

Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble

Sounds like Thanksgiving!

Moooooooooooooooooooo

Ah, the fattened calf. That sounds like the prodigal son has returned.

But really, it's Thanksgiving on Thursday.

That's right.  It is that time of year for football, turkey, and pumpkin pie.

It is that time of year to give thanks for all that has been given to us, and for us to catch up with our families.

It's that time of year where Uncle Dave debates with Aunt Jemima about politics in an argument that will never end because neither of them are listening to what the other is saying.  Cousin Cletus eats all the cat food, the cat eats all the dog food, and the dog eats all of Cletus's food.  It's the circle of life. Your Great Aunt Bessie comes to pinch your cheeks to show how cute you are, but this year you have a luscious, black beard that is smoother than a babies bum (okay that is only singular to Andrew from the creative team...and he has no Great Aunt Bessie...shame).  The family comes together and plays in a Turkey bowl, but no one is good at football and the women drink lemonade and talk about the stock exchange.

Yes, Thanksgiving.  What a great time. Did you know that Eucharist means thanksgiving? Just saying.

What are you thankful for?

Buckeye Awakening #3! Aka Awesomeness

This past weekend, a lot of us from SPO went to this AMAZING retreat, Buckeye Awakening #3. We all had an incredible experience on BA#3 that was of epic proportions. The whole retreat was awesome. It just so happens that Andrew from the Creative Team was also on the leadership team of said retreat. He had the opportunity to make an opening video to introduce the theme of BA#3; Love Unfailing. We thought we would share a little bit of that experience with you by also sharing the video. Enjoy.

DMD 11/11/10

This Thursday, November 11th, we at SPO are having ANOTHER Dinner, Movie, and Discussion Night (DMD, for future reference). We will be watching dear Bishop Campbell's favorite movie, Babette's Feast. Now, in considering this movie, we asked ourselves the question: what the heck is a babette? Upon further research, we discovered that a babette is actually a hobbit and it is not a thing, but the name of a hobbit. Babette Baggins is the never mentioned wife of Bilbo Baggins. She spends her time in the Shire making great feasts for hobbits and wizards alike. This feast in particular refers to the bountiful banquet that Babette hosted in honor of  Frodo and company when they returned from destroying the One Ring. Actually, that has absolutely nothing to do with anything in the plot of the movie we're watching. I bet you figured that out already. Clever girl. But here is a trailer to the actual movie.





Come! There will be food (vegetables, but for you we might make an exception). Please note: There is a location change from last time. We will be meeting at the WOMEN'S HOUSE at 6pm.
