Cookout and Recreation
Colors Hike in Oak Creek Canyon Saturday, October 15 Hike with us in this beautiful canyon just north of Sedona. We will enjoy the trees turning autumn colors as we walk an easy trail up the canyon along a mountain stream. We will leave from the Muse parking lot (corner of Orange St and Terrace Rd) at 8:30 AM. _*COST: $8*_ for transportation and parking. Bring your lunch or money to buy fast food in Sedona. Wear good hiking shoes and bring a light jacket or sweater. It is good to bring water as well. The weather will be much cooler than Tempe. Most of us will return home for dinner, though some may choose to eat dinner in Sedona on the way home. Please sign-up at the ISC table so we can know how much transportation will be needed. House Painting Saturday, October 22 Phil and Joanne Brown, who have hosted the summer Bible study and several activities at their home, need help to paint their house. This is the day! If you are willing and able, please let them know you can help. Call them at 480-557-9704. You could come for just part of the day, you don't have to stay all day. Whatever time you have they would really appreciate! They will provide the paint and brushes. Square Dance and BBQ Saturday, October 29 Square Dancing is an American western group folk dance---LOTS OF FUN!! We will all learn together with the help of professional instructors. If you have western clothing (blue jeans, cowboy boots or hat), please wear them! _*Cost: $10*_, which includes the instructors' fees and the BBQ dinner. We will have some vegetarian food as well. We will leave from the Muse parking lot at 5:30 PM and be back about 10:30. You may also want to bring a light jacket. Please sign-up at the ISC table so we know how much food to prepare. Trip to the Grand Canyon Saturday and Sunday, November 12 and 13 Join us as we tour one of the wonders of the world! Friday, November 11 is a holiday, so there will be no classes. Study that day so you can go with us on this two-day trip. _*Cost: $80*_ which includes transportation on a very comfortable bus, entrance to the Grand Canyon, IMAX movie, motel (3 people in a room with 2 beds) and continental breakfast (pastries, doughnuts, oatmeal, yogurt, juice & coffee). You will need money for other meals. If you want to reserve a room for only two people, the trip cost will be $90 per person. If you want your own private room, the cost will be $115 (reserve in advance). There will be time to hike part-way down the canyon if you want to do so. To reserve your place for this trip you must sign up at the ISC table and pay a $20 deposit. This deposit will be NON-REFUNDABLE if you cancel less than a week before the trip. The weather will be cold (with the possibility of snow!), so bring a warm jacket, and gloves and hat if possible. We will leave the Muse parking lot at 9 AM on Saturday, Nov. 12 and return to ASU about 10 PM on Sunday. One other option some people like is a 30 minute helicopter ride over the canyon which costs $100 per person. You can decide on that when we get there. UPCOMING EVENTS Thursday, November 24: Thanksgiving dinner with an American family Saturday, December 3: Our annual Christmas Progressive Dinner and Program January before the spring semester begins: a ski trip in the Arizona mountains (let Dan McCoy know if you are interested) A Bible study retreat in the Payson area (Jan 13-15, so plan now to come back from break in time to join us!) WEEKLY EVENTS International Bible Study Every Friday, 7 PM Every Friday at 7 PM. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about what the Bible teaches and about God.
