3rd Qtr 2008 – Club Results
ByWhat a quarter! The July – September quarter of 2008 continued our 20th year with style! We had not only our best attendance yet for this quarter with 184 participants but also the best attendance for any quarter! We blew away what was our average for this quarter (83)! Club event attendance was 145 and Buda Chapter attendance was 39. We set attendance records for the following events: Kayak Trip (13) and Night at the Races (18), both of which were sponsored by the Buda Chapter. We had 19 events, which was by far the most that we have ever had during a quarter (we had 15 Club events and four Buda Chapter events)! We have already had more events through the third quarter of 2008 than we did for all of last year (which was a record)! For a break down on events see July – September Quarter of 2008 Facts. In addition, we had one man join the Club during this quarter and 12 men renewed their memberships.

We had no votes or polls during the third quarter of 2008.
The next quarter promises to be an exciting one for FCS members and guests. We have 23 events planned. For details, see the 2008 Calendar.
The FCS – Great Hills Baptist Church (GHBC) Bible Life (Sunday School) Class continues to roll along with 11 members. The class is presently studying Fireproof, a course on marriage and relationship enrichment. In six weeks, we will resume our study of the Experiencing God Workbook. Experiencing God, Knowing and Doing the Will of God will help you learn to hear when God is speaking to you, encourage you to find out where God is working in the world around you so that you can join him, and therefore experience Him working through you in ways only God can. A workbook that can change your life, Experiencing God leads you in an exploration of the seven vital aspects of your relationship with God: knowing, loving, hearing, joining, believing, obeying and experiencing. The workbook includes text, questions, and activities. After we complete Experiencing God in about a month, the men will probably either study Into the High Country or The Way of the Wild Heart and the ladies will continue with their Study of Dick Eastman on Prayer. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to attend the department.
I hope to see you at an FCS event soon!
Following His trail,
Randy Rowley
FCS President
