We're Headed That Way!

We are leaving bright and early on Tuesday morning at 6:00am! If you are registered, be here at 5:45am! Bring cool clothing because it is supposed to be in the mid 50's at night while we are at the Grand Prix Tampa and Busch Gardens. During the day, it is gonna be in the 70's so factor that in too! The only meal you need to bring cash for is lunch in Busch Gardens on day one. All other meals will be provided. And we are gonna eat good!

I look forward to having a blast with everyone!

See you at Parkview at 5:45am,
Pastor Barry

Merry Christmas to the Flo!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Okay, I stole that line, but truly it is! Nothing better than observing the birth of Christ, hanging out with family and friends, and the exchanging of gifts! I trust you will have a great Christmas!

To everyone in the Flo (Overflo Student Ministries), thanks for making 2008 such a great year. And a huge shout out to all the Overflo volunteers, thanks for all you do! Your passion for ministry is overwhelming.

Enjoy your Christmas break. Sleep in a day or two, be kind to your family, watch some good movies, come to the Christmas Eve services, and get ready for New Year's Revolution (if you are going)!

Stoked about Christmas,
Pastor Barry

A Night With The Fam!

This past Thursday, December 11 was a great night at Overflo's Family Night. We had over 130 people in attendance. Thanks to everyone that made the extra effort to be here during this busy Christmas season. I think we all learned how to annoy each other during the holidays. Now if you weren't there, we used the term "annoyed" as a play on words because we want to be kinder and more loving and more respectful.....this would annoy some because of the change for the better.

Then it was fun ending the night with the $8 mystery! We collected $8 the week before and no one knew what it was for! Thanks to the 48 students who participated in this revoluntionary project. I believe everyone was suprised that the money was for a journal that the students would present to their parents. The parents were then asked to journal the life of their student 4 times a week for the next year. Then next December the parents will give back the journal to the student. Now I firmly believe this will revolutionize families of Overflo!

And the final highlight was the video that captured Overflo over the past year...

And the sneak peak of 2009...

Bring the Folks!

This Thursday, December 11 is FAMILY NIGHT at Overflo Student Night. Now, you may not usually want to be caught hanging out with your parents, but this Thursday...it is a must!

Reasons why you and your parents should come this Thursday...

1. Fun games
2. Giveaways...CD's, DVD's, Bibles

Oh yeah...forgot to turn in your $8 last week for the mystery? Well, you have till midnight Tuesday to email me and let me know that you are in!

We Return!

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone! And so has the school break! You probably struggled to get out of bed like I did this morning. Oh well, just think, you only have 3 weeks before Christmas break.

Overflo has been on a break too but we return this Thursday night, December 4 @ 6:45pm! Now make sure you come out as we start a two-week series entitled "How to Annoy Your Family During the Holidays." This is going to be a fun one I think! As a bonus, we are asking EVERY STUDENT TO BRING $8.00 THIS THURSDAY. Just bring it and I will fill you in on more details. You'll want to be part of it.
