Praxis
Over the next three weeks at Praxis we’ll continue to look at the theme: Posers, Fakers and Wannabes: Unmasking the Real You. This is based on a book by the same title by Brennan Manning and Jim Hancock and will involve us having four conversations, in various, creative ways:

Conversation 2: *Who Am I?: Abba’s Child*
Big Idea: Who we believe we are affects how we behave, how we behave
affects who we believe we are – it’s either a virtuous circle or vicious
cycle.

Conversation 3: *A Flexible Heart: Wake Up Dead Person*
Big Idea: If the Resurrection means anything, it means everything.

Conversation 4: *Counting the Cost: Holy Desire*
Big Idea: We can’t have what we need without releasing what we have.


Worship
we will gather for worship at the Found on Sunday at 10 am, upstairs in the sanctuary. Dress is comfortable. There is singing, sharing and prayer, time looking at scripture and fellowship.

Renovation Groups: Join a small group of students with whom you can work on growing spiritually. This is a student led group that meets weekly to focus on supporting one another through sharing and prayer, learning how to grow in our relationship with God and trying out spiritual practices. If you are interested contact Emily at eldawes@purdue.edu and let her know what nights you are available (M, Tu, W). Groups are now forming.

Share your technical talents:
The Found is looking for people willing to take turns operating the projector Sundays during worship. To sign up or for more information email Phillip at
pmossbur@purdue.edu

If you have any talents in gardening, planning social events, missions, fundraising, worship, or in any other area and you would like to share them, please contact Anna at aversema@purdue.edu and she will put you in contact with the right person.

Girl's and Guy's nights:
This coming Saturday, Sept. 27, the girls of the Found Co-op are hosting a girls night for all the girls of the Found. We will be starting the fun at 7pm. Come ready to eat a lot of desserts, watch movies, and play some games. If you have any questions or you are planning to come, please contact Tracey at twaltz@purdue.edu.

Mission Opportunities:

A message From Peg Nowling:
"I have a ministry opportunity for you! I've been in contact with a woman from Bloomington whose nine year old daughter has been placed in a school here in Lafayette because her special needs. Katie would love to have visitors! She likes to watch dvds like "High School Musical" and "Princess Diaries." If you have an interest in being part of Katie's support team here in Lafayette, please let me know or call me at 742-5223. I'm really praying for this family! Thanks, Peg."

Spring Break Mission Trip Fundraising Opportunity:
A woman in the community would like some college students to help move things out of her house. She needs storage items in her basement packed into a
vehicle. Moving would take place Friday afternoon and would only take 2-3 hours. In return, she will donate money to the Found mission trip. If you are
