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.

On October 4th, the guys are planning to go bowling! They will be meeting at the Found at 8pm to head over to the lanes. If you have any questions, please contact Evan at ebever@purdue.edu. Don't forget your socks!

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.

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
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.

Job Opportunities: (for more specific information, reply to this email)
- House cleaning: There is a woman at Federated Church who would like to hire a student to come do cleaning at her house once every other week.
