New Blog...Try It Out!
Overflo has been doing some tweeking over the past few days and I think we have landed on something. Overflo has now switched our blog to http://www.theoverflo.wordpress.com/. It is easier to use as well as navigate. We are also now able to match the look along with Overflo’s web site at http://www.theoverflo.com/. Enjoy…

Nothing Better In The World...
Outside of my salvation found in Christ, there's nothing better in this world that having our first child. You probably already heard, but if not...Davis Anderson Peters was born on Thursday, March 12 at 2:52pm weighing 8lbs. 14oz. and 21.5 inches long. Laura and Davis are doing well. They were able to come home from the hospital on Sunday and we've been enjoying every moment at home! I'll go ahead and apologize now because you may get tired of hearing about me being a daddy!
Well, I am sure you will meet him soon, maybe even at Parkview Celebrate on Thursday if Laura and Davis are up to it!
Speaking of Parkview Celebrate, I hope to see you out this Thursday at 7pm as we join with all of Parkview for a special service where this family dedication, communion, and baptism. There's at least 4 students getting baptized too! Also, if you have signed up to help at the Spaghetti Dinner, be here at 4:30pm. And if you haven't signed up, come on out. We could use your help. Don't forget to look sharp. Black pants and white shirts. See you then.
Gotta get back to work...

Thanks to all who attended and continue to join us at 727 especially for all 4 weeks of the "Best Sex Ever from God's perspective" Series. It stokes me to know that you want to get more in depth with your walk with God. For being faithful all 4 weeks of the series, your names went into a drawing and the winner of the $ 25 gift card to game stop is.......John Brazell. Congrats!!!
Now, don't forget that we are on a winter break for the next 2 weeks from 727. See you this weekend at a weekend service and next Thursday, March 12 as we continue, "Be my Guest".
Heading to Bike week!

This Is How She Feels...
Ya know, there are some great things that continue to take place at Overflo! One of which I am really excited about is 727! 727 Small Groups have been awesome in 2009. Every week, students have been coming out on Saturdays at 727. We have been averaging 35-40 students. I am stoked at students digging deeper into the scriptures.
Another that excites me is, 727 has, on average, 8 adult volunteers who lead their groups every week. They rock. But even more importantly, they love to serve the students. Just last week, one of the female volunteers emailed me as soon as she got home from a 727. This is how she feels.... "Thanks for the opportunity to work with the girls, I love meeting with them on Saturday night. I just hope and pray they are getting as much out of our time together as I am."
With all that said, if you are not in a 727 group, you need to come on out this Saturday night for our final session on "Best Sex Ever from God's Perspective."
Well, I hope you have a great week. I look forward to seeing you at Overflo Student Night on Thursday! I'll be concluding our BSE series. Plus, I will be giving out the brochure for Youth Alive 2009!

I Was Tired....
Okay, I have to admit it to you. I slept in today. Now I feel better after being upfront and honest with you. Now how about you? You sleep in today on your day off from school? Well, I hope you enjoy your day. Relax, chill out, eat, be lazy! But clean up your sorry looking room!
You got Overflo Student Night on your schedule this week? This Thursday night is gonna be fun. Here's why.... First, we cannot meet in the auditorium because they are installing all new lighting. So we are gonna be creative. Our plans are actually to do an outdoor thing in the parking lot, but now it looks as if mother nature may interfere with that idea. Now bring some warm clothing because if the rain and wind hold off, we 'll enjoy Overflo outside. Don't worry, you won't be cold 'cause we'll serve hot chocolate. If we have to move indoors, we're gonna get creative.
So with all this said, come on out and enjoy Overflo Student Night this Thursday, February 19 at 6:45pm. We'll be diving into week #3 of the "Best Sex Ever" series. This week's topic is "How Far Can I Go." Don't forget about 727 this Saturday too. We'll continue on in "BSE2" week #3 there too.
Well, I hope to see you this week. Thanks to everyone who came out last Thursday as well as the 727 Best Ever Valentine Party on Saturday.
Oh yeah, one final thing....this Thursday, I'll be announcing about the summer trip to Youth Alive! You won't want to miss hearing about it!
Oh yeah, and another thing....I need all students to help at the Fireproof movie night this Friday, February 20. Be here at 6:30pm and you'll be helping raise money to offset the cost of the bus transportation to YA. Some of you will help in childcare and others, in serving refreshments. Now don't come if you are going to NOT help out! I need hard workers! You can sign up this Thursday night.
Adios my friends,
Pastor Barry
