Praxis
Over the next four weeks at Praxis we’ll be looking 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 1: *The Poser: Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are*
Big Idea: What comes to our minds when we think of God is the most
important thing about us.

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.

Hunger Hike!
September 21st we will be participating, along with Federated Church, in the Hunger Hike. The Hunger Hike will raise money for Lafayette Urban Ministry, Food Finders, and St. Tom's Haiti Project. We will be meeting here at the Found at 12:45 to go over Riele Plaza. The hike will start at 2. If you have any questions or would like to participate, please contact Hannah at hecripe@purdue.edu. There is also a sign up sheet on the table in the back of the sanctuary. Federated is looking for at least 10 students to walk with them.

Mission Opportunities:
The Found is involved in several mission and service projects throughout the year including Purdue Winterization and a spring break mission trip. This year,
the spring break mission trip will be an urban mission experience in Los Angeles. If you are interested in learning about or organizing these and other
mission and service projects, consider joining the Missions & Service Committee at the Found. Contact Hannah at hecripe@purdue.edu or Megan at
mposey@purdue.edu if you are interested.

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
at all interested in participating in this year's spring break mission trip (to L.A.), it is strongly encouraged that you take advantage of these
opportunities. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Megan at mposey@purdue.edu.

Service Opportunities:
Tuesday September 23rd will be our first official "Cleaning Day," get excited!! We will be meeting at the Found at 4pm and will work together to get the Found clean. We will work until 6pm that night, or earlier if the job is done. So, the more people that come and help, the faster it will get done.
