Playoff beard week 9...

Man I sure wish I could shave this ugly thing! The kids from the youth group say that it makes me look old!!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!! I don't need any help looking old!

Mike is doing ok, his treatments have been over for a week now. He's in good spirits and he knows that his Maker is gonna see him through this. Our fundraisers for Mike are coming up fast! Here's a rundown:
This Saturday 5-8pm at Northpark Trinity Baptist church in Claremore. We will be taking donations in exchange for dunk tank "throws" ...

Next Saturday, Sept 6th at the new QT we are having a car wash. There will be kids there from On The Edge, Woodlake's youth ministry, and Youth at Heart from Comanche Park in Tulsa!! Come on out & get your car "professionally" washed & donate to a good cause!! All proceeds will go to help Mike through this tough time.

Friday Sept. 19th we will have a benefit r/c car race at Adams Creek Raceway starting at 7:00pm. If you race, c'mon out! If you just want to watch, it's free and we will be auctioning off a life sized Dale Jr cardboard cutout donated by a fellow racer. again, all proceeds going to help Mike with his medical expenses.

When Mike is told that he is free from cancer, we will shave our playoff beards--looking forward to that day!! Keep praying!!

Help for my friend...

Well, as most of you know, I am planning some activities to help offset some of Mike's medical expenses. For those that don't know what's going on, Mike is my best friend and partner in inner-city ministry and has been taking treatments for cancer. Mike is doing well, and he will be facing surgery sometime in September. Mike will be off work for some time and already the medical bills are piling up, so myself and other friends have come up with some ideas to help out...

The first of many activities will be a car wash held Saturday, September 6th at the new QT in Verdigris at the intersection on HWY 66 & Gordon Road. Several folks have volunteered to help, including some kids from On The Edge youth and some kids from Youth at Heart from Comanche Park Apartments (where we have spent time sharing Jesus with the kids) and many others. What I need from all of you is to bring your cars to wash & tell others about this event. This has the potential to substantially help Mike out with his expenses.

Also in the plans is a huge garage sale. I will be collecting items in the ol' yellow truck to store them. We will have the sale when it cools down a bit, probably in late September. If you have anything you could donate, please contact me...

I am working on other activities as well, and will keep you up to date! Thanks for all your prayers & help for Mike!!

God bless,
Jeff Smith
