SATURDAY WORKDAY
Mike called me last evening to say that the parking lot at Hinkle is very dangerous to drive on at this time with all of the ice, so he has decided to CANCEL the Saturday workday. I will be driving up to Cicero today to check out the ice situation up there. If it is too dangerous up there, we may cancel Church on Sunday as well. We will post that on here and also on Channel 13 if we decide to do that. We just want our Church family to be safe.

Quaker Life
Invitation to Writers
Quaker Life, the Christian Quaker magazine, is eager to receive manuscripts of the following types, especially if they fit into the issue theme list:
Cover Stories: Based on the current theme list. Up to 1500 words.
Turning Points: true first-person stories that show the transforming presence of God. There is a lot of room for individual expression with this; we have had stories ranging from conversion experiences, to healing, to insights gained from service or evangelism, to vignettes of encounters with the poor. The stories may be outwardly dramatic, or they may point to inward transformation in quiet moments. We are looking for personal experience rather than sermonettes or abstract philosophizing. Length: 750 words.
Journalistic Reporting: reporting on the lives, ministries and activities of Friends, and the issues with which we are struggling. These articles may describe the participants, events, causes, effects, historical background and context, and attempt a balance between description and analysis. They should be no more than 1500 words. Photographs which help tell the story are particularly welcome. We welcome inquiries and proposals.
Readers Essay: essays may be about anything of relevance to Friends faith or practice. If the essay is devotional, the more personal the better; if instructional, the more practical the better. True stories make the essay more publishable. Length: usually limited to 750 words. We occasionally publish devotional poetry and, even more rarely, short fiction.
Ideas That Work: articles describing a project, program or idea that an individual or meeting/church tried and that worked. Length: 750 words, with photos if possible.
News: short (50-200 words), factual, news reports are always welcome, but are subject to heavy editing for both space and style. Photographs are encouraged.
Reviews: current books or movies you would recommend to Friends. Length: usually, 150-200 words.
Photographs/Artwork: Photographs and original artwork is especially sought. Color is used on the cover only; all other photographs and artwork prints in black and white.
2010 and 2011 theme list available by request.

Phil Keaggy at Quaker Haven
Quaker Haven has a very amazing and exciting opportunity coming up! Next month Phil Keaggy will be here for a concert! Maybe you haven't heard of Phil Keaggy, but he is one of the top three guitarists in the WORLD. Many people think he is THE BEST GUITARIST in the world. And he is coming to play for us at Quaker Haven!!!!
Brandon and I didn't know a whole lot about Phil, so we looked him up online. I won't take the time to write everything we learned here, but one interesting thing I did learn is that while I struggle to play guitar with 10 fingers, he does amazing things with his guitar with only 9! I recommend looking him up on YouTube. His talent is amazing and he uses it in service of the Lord.
The concert is taking place here at Camp on FEBRUARY 12, 2011 at 7:00 pm. This would be a great weekend to come up with friends or a unique and cool date night for Valentines Day. You will feel uplifted! Tickets can be obtained by calling the Camp office at 574.834.4193. If you don't want to drive home that night, ask the Camp office about lodging availability or we can help you find a hotel room in the area.
Could you help us out by helping to get this information to those you know? If you live around this area, your church has received a flyer with information, so please ask your pastor to post it on the bulletin board and annouce it.
Thanks and I hope to see you in February!
