Oxygen Hangout

Quoted directly from Briana's message:
"Hey guys! We miss you all so much - that's why we want to hang out this weekend if possible! What do you all have going on Friday night around 7pm? We know it's last minute, but we were just thinking about you guys and want to hear all about camp and your summer so far! We can just meet at our house and order pizza or something like that - let us know if you can make it!! (Ashley, you are an honorary member of Oxygen!) :)

Ben and Briana"

Qdoba Party Tonight

Sorry for the late entry, but here is the info for tonight's meeting. Copied directly as I received it:
"Hey guys! Just a reminder - we are meeting at our house tonight for group! We are having our Qdoba party that our lovely group members won for us last month at the Game of Realife!! Directions to our house from James River:

Hope to see you all there!!"

Still meeting tonight

I will quote Briana directly concerning meeting tonight (3-4-08):
"Just wanted to let you know that we are still meeting tonight, even though you guys had a snow day today!! The roads have pretty much all melted, and Pastor Nathan said that we can still have group...yayy! Hope to see you all tonight!"

Ice storm cancellation

Hey everybody. Just a heads-up: small group is canceled tonight (2-12-08), this is due to the ice storm. So if you show up you're gonna be all alone.

Normal Meeting Resumed

I apologize for the interminable delay between my last post and this post, it couldn't be helped. That said, small groups have begun meeting again. Meaning oxygen has begun meeting again as normal.

New Year's Party

Oxygen will be doing a New Year's Eve party with Momentum at their small group leaders house. Briana will e-mail everybody within the next few days with details, and I will post those details once I receive them.
Consequently, the guys Halo party is indefinitely postponed. Since I will be leaving on the fifth for several days, the party can conceivably not happen until we begin meeting again. I apologize for posting inaccurate information previously, that was due to hastiness & miscommunication on my part.

Party has passed

Well, the oxygen Christmas party was last night, so for anyone who missed it, I share your pain. Studying for finals caused me not to turn my phone on for two days straight, in turn causing me to miss Ben's reminder; bummer. Anyway, I'm sure it was cool, as it has been for years, and we can now look forward to starting up again in January.
For the guys: Sometime between 12-22-07 and 1-7-08 my house will be open for a Halo party sleepover. Maybe a new years eve party?

Year's End

Well, the time for Oxygen in 2007 has ended, but never fear, it will begin again early January 2008. In the meantime, there will be an Oxygen Christmas party, a girls night, and a guys night. I don't have any more exact details at the moment, but I will endeavor to obtain such details soon.
Also, one of our Oxygen members is part of the cast in the current play at the Stained Glass Theater in Ozark. So opportunity to go see that production as a group may arise...stay tuned.

Costume Party

Our 10-30-07 meeting will be costume at our normal meeting place. No theme was decided upon so wear your favorite costume, and bring a treat if you can. If you don't bring a treat, at least trick us into thinking you are bring a treat.

Chickin & Costumes

Ok, next Monday evening (10-22) Chick-Fil-A is donating a percentage of their proceeds to the James River youth choir. The plan is to meet their at about 6:30 to eat, hang out, and support the youth choir.
Next: Two meetings away is going to be a costume night, we haven't decided on a theme or anything, so details will get nailed down next week.
One clap for everyone! (And Ben.)
Note: The website will be updated with more details soon.

New Leaders & Website!

Well, something sad and wonderful is happening. Aaron and Gina are stepping down from leading Oxygen, they're are going on to lead one of JRA's new Life Groups. (Adult Small Groups.) We pray for them and especially that Gina's pregnancy will go well.
Taking their place is Ben and Briana, two new leaders who recently began coming to Oxygen, the reason for that now revealed. Next week, 9-4-07 will be the last time Aaron and Gina will be coming, with our new leaders taking over.

Go check out the new website, now out of beta!

Just a quick note, we are now officially meeting again, with our first meeting at our new host home this coming Tuesday. (8-21-07)
Directions removed for privacy.

Canoe Trip

Just a heads up, the oxygen canoe trip is stilling being planned (i.e. not canceled) and if it comes together you will receive notice via mail about it. If you have any information on a good place for a canoe trip, please contact Aaron, or myself through the oxygen website.

Cookout Confirmation

Hey Oxygen members, I have just received word via USPS that we will indeed be having the cookout. The cookout will be at Dylan's house (Our new host home) on July 28th, 6-9pm. Guys are asked to bring drinks and the girls are asked to bring chips or dessert. Seeing the lack of info on the entree, we can safely assume it will be provided.
[Directions removed for privacy.]

Barbecue Alert

Just a quick note to everyone, we will be having a barbecue at our new host home before the meeting season restarts to get everyone acquainted with the new location.
An unconfirmed report puts the barbecue at Dylan's house on the 28th of July.

Summer Update

Well, our final meeting of the season has come and gone. Meeting at Aaron and Gina's house, we got together and for once when we split up for a while the guys got the big room. (Figure that one out.) Over the summer we are planning to have a canoe trip, and later a barbecue at our new host home. Speaking of host homes, there are several candidates being considered at the moment, and if you think your house would be good, don't hesitate to ask Aaron or Gina about it.
Here also is a link to the Oxygen website. It's in beta stage, so feel free to e-mail me through the provided link and give feedback.
