The Story Until Now...
October 1999
We are all horrifically disappointed when UT loses to Arkansas. Rich and Jason become regular members of the group. They are both graduate students at UTK and looking for a church home. They both fit right in because, well, they love football. We help out with the Fall Festival again.
November 1999
The name is Bond...James Bond. The new Bond film makes its debut. Michael and Rich head out to see it, with perspective member, Jennifer. (We haven't seen Jennifer since then....) Thanksgiving rolls in as does the start of basketball season. Hopes are high for the men's team this year. The Tennessee Titans continue to win. Michael stands firm by his prediction of Tennessee vs. Washington in the Super Bowl....Laughlin Smith begins teaching our Sunday School class as we look at the visioning process at Bearden UMC.
December 1999
The holidays are upon us again! Didn't we just do this a year ago? The 2nd annual family caroling party is a huge success and helps to get everyone in the spirit. John returns to town and we mock him. (No surprises there, eh?) The Wallaces open up their home to us for our holiday party. Sheila Eubanks makes dinner and Laura does desert and salad. Wow, is it good!?!? The group scatters and regathers to celebrate the holidays with our families.
January 2000
Well, New Year's Eve comes and goes without the world ending....The playoffs begin and Michael's crazy prediction at the beginnng of the year looks to be true about the Super Bowl. He gets it half-right with the Titans making it...they come tow yards short of tying the game and going to overtime, much to the dismay of all our fans. We are not asked to chaperone Resurrection...looks like they finally learned their lesson, eh?
Cindy enters seminary at Asbury in Kentucky. Bearden celebrates our 50th anniversary.
February 2000
Staci visits our group for the first time. Amazingly, she is not frightened off by us and agrees to come back. It's leap month, which means we get an extra day. Things are kind of sad for the group as Celebration 2000 is cancelled. Also in sad news, our good friend Dr. Bob Walker passes away. However, we know he's in a much better place now....
