Goal: Create a spring version of the bulletin for our year-long "Thrive: the acts of the Holy Spirit" sermon series on the book of Acts
Audience: Church family- primarily young families (parents in their 20s - early 40s)
Direction: Our pastor does mostly expository preaching- moving through a book of the Bible bit by bit, in order. Because of this, the exact topic of a sermon usually varies week to week, not giving us a strong visual to grab onto for the whole series. We thought that since we were spending an entire year in Acts, we'd go for seasonal shells. This is the spring version. The series title Thrive hearkens to the explosive growth of the church and the of individual believers.
Project: 8.5x11 bulletin shell, left third will be perforated for our Worship Registration Card.
Other important info: I'm not real crazy about how "Thrive" is just floating in mid air. Should I try to ground it? How are the blending mode on the branches working? Does it actually look like the word is stuck in the tree? Any other advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Summer day camp thriving at Casey
By Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth

CAMP CASEY, South Korea – If you have kids in elementary school and want to give them a chance to attend summer day camp, Area I’s Camp Adventure offers games, field trips and other fun, while also helping youngsters learn how to get along with others and follow rules.
It’s held Monday through Friday at Camp Casey’s School Age Center, bldg. 2475. Costs range from $40 - $110 per week, on a sliding scale based on overall family income.
Camp Adventure is open to Area I youngsters in first through fifth grades, and allows parents to register their kids for one week at a time.
That way, parents can choose which sessions to send their children to, and don’t have to pay for weeks they may be on vacation or otherwise unable to have their children attend.
Each week’s schedule includes arts-and-crafts, a library visit and reading session, swimming and playground activities, a Wednesday field trip to such places as an amusement park, museum, or zoo.
“Camp is fun, going to the pool, going on all the field trips,” said 10-year old Senora Fontenot. “But, the funnest part is hanging out with all my friends.”
The counselors are college students drawn from a variety of schools, taking part in the Camp Adventure Youth Services, run by the University of Northern Iowa. The program holds the camps in various countries, and on U.S. military installations overseas. They get college credit, room and board for their work as summer counselors.
The Area I youngsters also get weekly visits from a counselor with the Army’s Military and Family Life Consultant program. Those sessions are geared to helping foster emotional well-being.
One recent session, for example, involved a game called “emotional bingo.”
Each child got a bingo-style card with the names of 24 emotions – “jealous” “delighted” “bored” “loving” for example.
Each then got a chance to tell of his or her experiences with one or more of those emotions.
“Each week we have different themes,” said Gia Murtucci, a Camp Adventure counselor who graduated from the California State University, Chico, with a degree in education.
“We did Wizard of Oz one week, an ocean theme, next week we’ll do Forty-Niners-Gold Rush theme,” she said.
“We really work with expanding creativity and specifically getting kids to socialize,” said Murtucci. “We work on behavioral management skills and learning how to cooperate and follow the rules.”
Camp Adventure is also designed to keep the children active and away from video games, she said.
To register children or for more information, call Area I Child, Youth and School Services at 730-3628 or 732-3468.

Sutra The Gastropub : A Bon Vivant’s delight
Sutra Gastropub which hosted a wonderful event with Signature Expressions and the cult band Indian Ocean this week has already become a very significant part of the party scene in Gurgaon’s Cyber Hub. The restaurant offers soups, salads, a wide variety of starters and serves cuisines like Indian, Italian, Moroccan, American and European.
I like the menu; it has hearty, trustworthy dishes that the chefs have managed to execute well. The well being of the flourishing, diverse and experimental food tradition in India rests in the hands of such restaurants.
Jhul e kabab @ SutraSpeaking of the well-written, hunger-inducing, gutsy menu, we read it and immediately knew what we wanted. Such a musical night with iconic singers and musicians called for a lot of finger food and signature cocktails. We ordered a “Manhattan” with Signature’s best whiskey, “Mustard Fish Tikka”, “Seekh-e-khas” and “Jujeh Kebabs”.
Alfresco dining, iconic music, and an extremely cosy restaurant, is all that we needed after a long hard day at work. The restaurant is well planned and spacious. There is dark-wood furniture. There are two bars with bar stools for people who wish to sit there and drink the bartenders interesting cocktail concoctions; they also have a wine rack. Indian ocean sutra
On a weekday (Wednesday), the place is bustling with people; I wasn’t at all surprised, most restaurants at Cyber Hub are thriving, every day is good business, weekends are especially brilliant.
IMG_2425And then the food starts to arrive and it’s clear everything is going to be great. The food is fresh, the drinks are well balanced and the staff is courteous. Check. Check. Check. The restaurant checks all the right boxes for me. For main course I got a thin crust “Chicken Pizza”. I expected it to be heavy but it turned out to be surprisingly light. It was an utterly guilt-free pizza with extremely coordinated ingredients.
Most evenings and weekends are special for the restaurant because they organise fun-filled events for their patrons. Anoop, who manages the place, and it feels very much like a one-man operation, clearly knows how to make customers feel at home.
There are chunky burgers with chicken and lamb; the meat is tender, well cooked and extremely delicious. This multi-cuisine restaurant does a mouth-watering molten brownie cake, chocolate tiramisu and some really interesting cheesecake to finish.
Sutra seems to be doing a great job because the evening was a raving success and went absolutely glitch free.
XOXO

My rhododendron sinogrande. Not yet thriving... I had it in a spot that was too sunny for a year then moved it to another spot... that was shady but too dry. Hopefully this new location under the neighbor's camellia will be good. It's closer to the house so I can water it regularly. Also bug chewed on it :( Poor thing.
BUT at least it's still alive. It's soooo finicky! The leaves burn very easily and it can't dry out like other rhodies.
Here's draft 2 of this logo.
Our next sermon series, Thrive, is on the book of Acts and will go for a whole year. We're trying to create a logo for the series and then create seasonal bulletins using the one logo.
Boss man loves this version working in the suggestions from here on draft 1. He wants to add the tagline "The Acts of the Apostles" and I'm struggling with how best to do it. I tried it below "Thrive" right justified, but the vines looked funky with it, so I'm trying it above the T now. Any suggestions?
In the 1860s, Mount Macedon became a popular place for wealth Melbournians to holiday and escape the oppressive noise, pollution and summer heat of the city. A thriving community to support these holiday makers sprung up to support their needs, and many permanent local residents enjoyed a picnic at Waterfalls Paddock; what today is known as Stanley Park.
Formerly a part of John Carre Riddell's acreage, the Upper Macedon Progress Association acquired Waterfalls Paddock from him in 1919 for the sum of £300.00 with the intention of converting it into an area for public recreation. Part of the amont raised included a £50.00 donation from the then Governor of Victoria, Sir Arthur Stanley. When the park was opened in July 1919, it was named Stanley Park in his honour. Peace celebrations were held in the park to commemorate the end of the Great War. Children from the local district school marched to the music of the local school band.
Today Stanley Park is still used for recreation, giving people an opportunity to enjoy the natural bushland landscape. It has a diverse variety of native fauna of around 60 different species of trees and plants, as well as the Stanley Waterfall, which is fed by Turitable Creek. Plants include ferns, kangaroo and wallaby grasses, all of which were in the area prior to settlement. Today Stanley Park is managed by a group of local residents for the Macedon Ranges Shire Council and is dtill enjoyed by the local community and visitors alike.
I spent a delightful Saturday with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group in Mount Macedon, where I have never been before. Now I have, I would very much like to go back to such a picturesque place again.
The Mount Macedon township is located east of the Mount Macedon summit, which is approximately 60 km north-west of Melbourne.
The name of Mount Macedon is apparently derived from Philip II, who ruled Macedon between 359 and 336BC. The mountain was named by Thomas Mitchell, the New South Wales Surveyor General.
Settled in the 1850s by gold miners and timber cutters, the railway arrived at the Mount Macedon township in 1861, providing a vital connection to Melbourne, and sealing the town's future as a 'hill station' resort for wealthy Melburnians escaping the summer heat in the 1870s. With the land deforested, large blocks were sold and beautiful and extensive gardens were planted around the newly built homes. The rich soil and good rainfall also made the area suitable for large orchards and plant nurseries who could send fruit and flowers back to Melbourne. Newspaper owner, David Syme, built a house, "Rosenheim" in 1869. It was acquired in 1886 for Victorian Governors to use as a country retreat, making Mount Macedon an attractive destination for the well heeled of Melbourne society. A primary school was built in Mount Macedon in 1874, and as the decades progressed, hotels, guest houses, shops, a Presbyterian Church and Church of England were built. In 1983, Mount Macedon was devastated by the Ash Wednesday Bush Fires. A large portion of the town was raised, and a number of lives were lost. However, like a phoenix from the ashes, Mount Macedon has risen and rebuilt. Today it is still a popular holiday destination, particularly during spring time when the well established gardens flourish with flowers and in autumn when the exotic trees explode in a riot of reds and yellows.
