january 21 - finding GOD in the land of narnia

our next regular well gathering will be held on january 21 (note: not the last saturday of the month) under the theme of "finding GOD in the land of narnia".

we're excited about this theme. we need to borrow the following items for this gathering:

• a large wardrobe
  
• fake snow - the cotton blanket things that are on sale everywhere right now (and maybe a bag or three of the loose snow flake stuff as well)
  
• flat screen or plasma screen tv or monitor - for a faux fireplace
• un-lit christmas trees (don't pack yours up just yet...we need a forest!)

more info to come...

some stuff we need by the first gathering

1. justin's idea of running water throughout the service is great, so we'll need fountains, waterfalls and the like. what else can we do?
2. 2-3 floor lamps (should be about $15-20 each)
3. modeling clay
4. 2 or 3 drop cloths
5. some 8 1/2 x 11 plexi sign holders (a 4 pack is $20)

what else?
