Is Pathological Video Gaming A Failed Solution Or An Addiction? - Forbes

Researching some 'stuff' for Sunday's message at Phos and ran across this.  Parents you may wanna read this if you're worried about the 'gamer' in your life.  
Interesting stuff.  We'll be offering hope for all who have addictions at Phos this Sunday at 9 & 10:30 over at 4200 Centerfield Drive -- the Outpost for Phos Community Church.

Al Maupin's Brother In Law Prayer Request

From: "alan maupin" <bigal217@windstream.net>
Date: May 26, 2012 6:57:50 AM EDT
To: "Jeff Fuson" <jeff@ph-church.org>
Subject: brother in law

my brother in law wayne humston was hospitalized yesterday and the prognosis is bad. he had a cat scan thinking he might have kidney stones. they called him to come back to the hospital and admitted him. they found a large mass in his colon, on his liver, on his lung, and in his lymph nodes. he also has some kind of infection because of bleeding in his colon. I am heading to the hospital this morning to sit with my sister. he is at uk in lexington. please add him and my family to the prayer list. seems like every time thing are calming down something always happens. I am sure ready for some peace.

Calling all Adults, Teens and Anyone with a Shovel!

The good news: We are going to build a sand volleyball court behind the playground at 4200!

The bad news: There is a septic pipe that runs across the location we need to dig with a Bobcat and we can't use a machine to dig over the pipe because it could bust it.

The BEST news: There will be free pizza if you help dig down to the pipe (about 18") on Tuesday night at 5:45.

Hope to see you and your shovel then!

Thank you!

Phos Youth Band - Meet TONIGHT at 4200

Sup guys!
     I hope you all are excited, because the PHOS YOUTH BAND is on the horizon. We are in the process of getting everything together for you all! I am looking for devoted people that will commit to this opportunity. 
     I am going to attach three songs that I want you all to practice. We will meet TODAY May 24th from 7 - 9 PM at our church. There, we will help you with these songs and guide you on learning them. This will be a time where you can come with questions and we will help you. Please come prepared though, this is not a day that we teach you everything. I am looking forward to working with you all and hearing the talent that you all have! 
     After the 24th we will have an audition on the 31st from 7 - 9 PM that will test what you all have been working on for about two weeks at that point. I want this to be fun and exciting for everyone, but this is going to be a serious event as well. Jeff potentially wants the youth band to play in the MAIN SERVICE. We have to sound good guys! We need to be able to give our church a great worship experience as well as your peers. At the audition there will be judges that will ask you all to play/sing along to these three songs. We will also have a song that you will be unprepared for to see how well you can sight read. 
     If you all have any questions please call or text me at 502-758-0847. This is a big deal guys! Please practice! You all are only going to get what you put into it! 

Thanks guys!

We have a great chance to Open 4200 for the Community tomorrow … can you take a shift?

We have the privilege of having 2 Voting Precincts at 4200 from 6 AM til 6 PM on Tuesday, May 22nd.  Wouldn't it be great to have 4200 opened with some refreshments and smiling people to greet the community as they stop by to vote.  We are not permitted to influence the vote in any way, but we can share the news about Phos through conversation and walk throughs for any who are interested.  So, would you be willing and able to take a two hour shift sometime tomorrow to show some love as people stop by?  All you have to do is be nice, initiate conversations and show folks around who want to see more of 4200. Of course you'll be offering them a soft drink or a snack as well.  [all that will be here ready for you ]  Just be a good host/hostess.  

Here's how it will roll:
6 AM to 8 AM Jeff Fuson / _____________
8M to 10 AM  Jeff Fuson / _____________
10 AM to Noon ______________ / ________________
Noon to 2 PM       ______________ / ________________
2 to 4 PM  ______________ / ________________
4 to 6 PM ______________/ ________________

So, it's an easy assignment for those who enjoy people and are excited about Phos Community Church.

Send an email to jeff@phoschurch.com and let me know which shift(s) you wanna cover.  And, pass this on to other PCCers who may want to help.

peace,

Jeff Fuson

Journey + Adventure + Community = Phos Church
