Topping the list of things to be thankful for in my life is my family.  I’m blessed to have been raised in one of those families that are always at the church.  My parents and aunts and uncles are Sunday school teachers and choir members, my cousins play in our church band, my grandmother was once the church secretary, and my grandfather keyed all the locks in our building.  We’re very close and get together for random dinners, shopping trips, and game nights.  This week I ventured with my youth choir down to the UPCI General Conference in Columbus, Ohio, where I was reminded that the Pentecostal realm is one big family as well.  If you don’t know someone, you probably know someone who knows that someone.  It was such a great time catching up with friends, grabbing a quick hug from this person or that one.  And watching so many others do the same.  Then I came home, worn out, filled with pleasant memories, and sat down to work on 90&9.  That was when I realized what a big family we’ve all become.  We may have moved to a new house (isn’t our new look fun?), but we have the same elements as before: amazing readers, contributors, and staff.  And though I may not know your faces, I’ve come to know so many of you through the words that you write.  What an incredible family!    ~SarahK   

Have I got a deal for you! What event could you attend and enjoy being a participant instead of a spectactor? What forum could you attend and meet like-minded Apostolics who enjoy thinking, discussing, and meeting their goals?  The answer is simple—it’s 90&9.com’s IQ Forum on October 20-21, 2006 (a month away!). We will be interacting with you on racial integration issues within the Apostolic Church, discussing effective music in the 21^st Century, creating your own ministry, mastering time-management, and much more. This is our first-ever sponsored live event and would do this if we didn’t think it will be worth your time. Won’t you check it today?

Thank you all so much for your support and patience as we brought our redesigned site live. Here are some of the comments we have received regarding our Extreme Makeover. (And those who didn’t personally email us, sent in their thoughts and ideas via Survey Sez.)
