Easter Egg/Stuffed Animal Toy Drive Benefiting BOYS & GIRLS Country JUNIOR GIRL SCOUT TROOP 14020 BRONZE AWARD SERVICE PROJECT The Girl Scouts of Troop 14020 are currently working on their Bronze Award and are sponsoring an Easter Egg/Stuffed Animal Toy Drive for Boys & Girls Country. They are great need of Easter egg hunt supplies (baskets, grass, plastic eggs, egg stuffers -candy, stickers etc.), stuffed animals and toys or gifts for ages 5 -18. There will be an actual Easter egg hunt for all the children 10 and under, so they are hoping to collect enough for 24 kids to have a basket with a stuffed animal and 500 filled eggs to hunt. The toys or gifts and any extra stuffed animals will be donated to their “Birthday Room” - so they will have presents available for the children’s birthdays as needed. There are several drop boxes located throughout Fairfield - Hot Spot Tanning Salon, Gambinos, Nestle, Dell’s Grill & Custard, Good Shepherd UMC and in the Athletic Center through March 15th. For more information, please call troop leader, Michelle Smith, 281-256-0678. Thank you Fairfield residents for your support!

My name is Susan Locke; I am the Lost and Found Pet Coordinator for Fairfield. I am a contact for someone that has lost or found a pet and tries to match the two together. I am unable to pick up, deliver or provide medical assistance to lost, found or injured animals but try to help locate the dog or owner when they are lost. I can be reached at 281-304-7231, smltxag@houston.rr.com or http://groups. yahoo.com/group/fairfieldpets Interior Remodeling My family brought me home cradled in their arms. They cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm. They played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys. I sure do love my family, especially the girls and boys. The children loved to feed me. They gave me special treats. They even let me sleep with them, all snuggled in their sheets. I used to go for walks, often several times a day. They even fought to hold the leash, I’m very proud to say. They used to laugh and praise me, when I played with that old shoe. But I didn’t know the difference between the old one and the new. The kids and I would grab a rag, and for hours we would tug. So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bathroom rug. They said that I was out of control and would have to live outside. This I did not understand although I tried and tried. The walks stopped one by one; they said they hadn’t time. I wish that I could change things. I wish I knew my crime. My life became so lonely in the backyard on a chain. I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane. So they brought me to a shelter but were embarrassed to say why. They said I caused allergies and then they kissed me ‘bye. “You have only one day left...” I heard the worker say. Does this mean a second chance? Do I go home today?

FAIRFIELD COMMUNITY GAZETTE Dear Fairfield Residents, Have you noticed the yellow ribbons around our neighborhood? These pretty ribbons show support for our military men and women serving our nation. I enjoy and appreciate seeing these ribbons on a daily basis. You see, our son is a medic in the U.S. Army stationed in Iraq and these yellow ribbons speak to me. Each ribbon represents a heart. Thus, I’m asking you to display yellow ribbons in your yard to remind us all of the efforts these people do to provide us the freedoms we enjoy daily. With the recent deaths of several area service men, these ribbons take on a very personal meaning. This letter is not intended to state whether or not our troops should be in Iraq; it is much more personal than that. It is intended to persuade you to join together to make Fairfield a premier neighborhood whose voices reach personally to individual service personnel showing words of acknowledgement, appreciation, and encouragement. Therefore, I am also asking individuals, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Women’s clubs, sports teams, senior clubs, and churches to take time to send cards or letters to a specific service person until they come home. If you would like an individual name and address to send your words to, just call me (281-373-0142) and I’ll gladly provide you with one. I’m sure there are other families in Fairfield who have loved ones and friends serving in the military. If you would like to submit a person’s name and address as a recipient, drop their information into the decorated box at the Fairfield Athletic Center. Together we can reach around the world and bring Texas to those protecting us all! Let’s Show Our SUPPORT! Here’s one of our brave countryman over in Iraq; please show your love and support by sending Kevin cards, letters, care boxes, whatever you can to show him he’s in our hearts, thoughts and prayers: Sergeant Allison, K.S. 1st BN 23rd MAR H & S Co.

They gather in Mexico, New Zealand, China, Germany, India, Uganda, Egypt, Romania, Russia and many other countries. They are all part of Moms In Touch International, an interdenominational, nonprofit ministry of women who believe prayer makes a difference. The group was founded in 1984 by Fern Nichols while she was stationed in Abbotsford, British Colombia with a Christian ministry. She had two sons entering junior high school. Nichols knew her boys were going to face their greatest test yet in resisting immoral values, vulgar language, and peer pressure. She found other concerned mothers, and they began meeting for prayer. The following summer Nichols and her family moved to Poway, California, where by the fall of 1985, a group was established at Poway High School. The women met once a week and prayed for a full hour for their children and the school. They prayed for a Moms In Touch group for every school in their district, 18 FAIRFIELD COMMUNITY GAZETTE - March 2005 and they shared the concept with their friends and other moms they met. Two years later, Nichols published a Moms In Touch booklet, and the following January the first Moms In Touch retreat was held. Today there are thousands of Moms In Touch groups meeting worldwide. The organization’s goal is to have a group of two or more moms praying for every school in this country and throughout the world. We know our children face many challenges at school (academics, drugs, peer pressure and violence), and to stand in the gap for them through prayer is our highest calling. The mothers meet once a week to pray for teachers, principals and administrators, conferences, respect for authority, curriculum choices, holiday situations, coaches and athletic programs, high standards, family values, after school programs, problems faced by the students and for the specific needs of the children of the mothers in the group. If you are interested in joining a Moms In Touch group, please call Alecia Mallett at 281 -256-0433 Copyright © 2005 Peel, Inc.

Family to Family Network is an organization that empowers families of children with disabilities by providing information, training, referral and support. We are initiating a new project in the Houston area called Family Friends. It is an intergenerational program that matches volunteers (age 55+) with children with special needs and their families. The Family Friend (volunteer) will visit the home once a week for a couple of hours to offer support and encouragement by reading a book, playing, and become a friend! The family gains from the emotional support provided by the volunteer. Their visits often give family members a break from caring for their child with disabilities, all the while knowing the child is in good hands. The Volunteers offer their special skills, wisdom, support and life experiences. They gain a sense of pride knowing that they are making a difference in the family‛s life. The Community is strengthened by volunteers providing supportive services that would otherwise prove too costly for the families. If you are 55 years or older or have a child with a disability and are interested in this wonderful program, Please call Patricia McMahan or Aline Houston at Family to Family Network (713)-466-6304 Funded in part by the NCOA-National Council on Aging Family to Family Network; 13150 FM 529, Suite 106 Houston, TX 77041-2303; #713-466-6304 Website: familytofamilynetwork.org All proceeds go toward student scholarships and support of student organizations on campus by the NWHC Aggie Moms’ Club.

FAIRFIELD COMMUNITY GAZETTE Your Child’s Winning Combination Laura Zubrod MS, RD, LD It’s that time of year again and sports will be in full swing before we know it. Enabling our children to perform their best is as easy as focusing on their eating, drinking and sleeping habits. Give Me Fuel! Be sure to fuel your athlete before he or she hits the field. Pre-practice and Pre-game meals are an important part of your child’s performance. Start every day with breakfast. An athlete without breakfast is like a car without gas—neither will get very far. Stick to whole grain breads and cereals (look for those with less than 10 grams of sugar per serving), fruit and low fat milk and diary products. A sandwich or last night’s cold pizza can also be great breakfast choices. Feed your child a meal 1 ½ to 3 hours before practice or game time. Avoid a fatty meal like a hamburger and French fries, which is slow to digest. Stick to something easily digested and rich in carbohydrates like noodles, sandwiches, tortilla wraps, oatmeal, or cereal and toast. Eating too much or too soon before an event can leave your child with less energy and possibly an upset stomach. A light snack that is easily digested can be eaten 1 hour to 30 minutes before game time. Try a banana, a piece of toast, a few crackers or half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Bring along healthy snacks for long practices, after games or all-day events such as: bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, carrot sticks, ½ sandwich, pretzels, animal cookies, granola bars, vanilla wafers, mini bagels, dry cereal, cheese sticks, yogurt, dried fruit, crackers, 100% fruit juice, tortilla w/peanut butter. Avoid sugary snacks like candy bars, cookies, donuts, sodas and fruit drinks. These foods provide excess fat, sugar and calories. While they may provide a quick burst of energy, they will quickly leave your athlete feeling tired and hungry. Fill ‘Em Up! It is essential to supervise young athletes to ensure they are consuming enough fluids. Did you know that children are: • more susceptible to dehydration than adults and adolescents • not as adept at handling extremes in temperature • sweat less efficiently • get hotter during physical activity • often not able to recognize that they are thirsty or the symptoms of heat strain Be aware of these warning signs of dehydration: headache, fatigue, thirst, nausea, dizziness, muscle cramping and vomiting. Choose the right fluids Plain, cool water is the best choice for children. Sweat contains more water than sodium or potassium (electrolytes) and the priority for the young athlete should be to replace the lost water rather than electrolytes. Sports drinks are not necessary for children. For activities lasting longer than 90 Serving NW Houston Since 1974 Texas License No. 2487 RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL QUARTERLY & MONTHLY MAINTENANCE ROACHES • ANTS • FLEAS • MICE & RATS TERMITE CONTROL • TERMITE INSPECTIONS ������������ Copyright © 2005 Peel, Inc. minutes, sports drinks can provide a little extra energy. Children will typically replace any electrolytes they may have lost just by eating a healthful diet. Fresh fruits and 100% fruit juices are excellent sources of electrolytes. A great snack to bring along for after a practice or game would be a banana, pretzels and 100% fruit juice. Salt tablets should never be given to athletes. Salt tablets contribute to dehydration because they cause extra water to enter the stomach and draw it away from other body tissues. Your goal is to get the fluids in. If your child is more likely to drink enough fluids by consuming sports drinks or juice, then consider that option. If you are going to use fruit juice, use 100% fruit juice and dilute it with equal parts water (e.g. 1 cup water to 1 cup juice). Children should not drink undiluted fruit juice, fruit drinks or sodas when they are physically active. These beverages contain a lot of sugar that will draw water into the stomach resulting in stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhea. Also, keep in mind that children should not drink more than 8 to 12 ounces of any type of sugary drink, even 100% fruit juice, each day. Sports drinks should contain between 15-18 grams of carbohydrate per cup (8 oz). Be aware of the difference between “energy” drinks and sports drinks. Energy drinks often contain caffeine, herbs, supplements, as well as a lot of sugar and calories – not a good choice for young athletes. When to Drink? How Much to Drink? • 1 – 2 hours before practice/game: Drink 10-14 ounces (about 1 ½ cups) of cool water. • 10-15 minutes before practice/game: Drink 10 ounces (about 1 cup) of cool water. • During practice/game: Encourage your athlete to drink 3-4 ounces (about ½ cup) about every 15-20 minutes even if your child does not feel thirsty. • After practice/game: Drink a minimum of 16 ounces (2 cups) of cool water and provide a healthy snack. Catch Some Z’s Being an active kid requires a lot of energy. Make sure your athlete is catching the right amount of Z’s. Children 3 to 5 years of age need 11 to 15 hours of sleep. While those between the ages of 5 and 12 need about 10 to 11 hours of sleep. Did you know that too little sleep for your child: • impairs his creativity, concentration and memory • leaves her with less energy and slows her reaction time • makes him more susceptible to illness and infection • leaves her (and you) feeling cranky A little bit of planning and preparation can go a long way in ensuring your child is able to perform at his or her best. Planning meals, preparing healthful snacks in advance and ensuring an adequate sleep schedule are just as important as that cool new uniform and making it to practice. ���������������������� ���������������������������������������������������� ��������������������� ��������������� ������������������ ����� ������������������������� ������������ FAIRFIELD COMMUNITY GAZETTE - March 2005 25 FAIRFIELD COMMUNITY GAZETTE KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION TIME: TIME: DATE: April 6, 2005 Ault 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.; 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Keith 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.; 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Pre-registration for 2005-2006 Kindergarten classes will be held on Wednesday, April 6, 2005.

Most folks think of Patrick as a short red-bearded man with a green hat and a four-leaf clover holding a beer like some sort of leprechaun. Some know him as the man who drove out all the snakes in Ireland. But these are mere legends. If the truth be told… Patrick was a Christian missionary in Ireland in the early fifth century. He was British, and though called a “saint,” he was never canonized by the Catholic church. He was, however, a simple man with a passion for spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to the people of Ireland. Now going to Ireland to be a missionary was not easy for Patrick. Prior to becoming such he had been captured by the Irish and taken as a prisoner for eight years when he was only 16. He was sold as a slave to a Celtic chieftain. While in captivity he asked God to reveal Himself and to help him escape. He kept remembering the passage his father used to quote in Psalm 50:15: “Call upon [God] in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” Patrick did eventually escape, and upon doing so he went home to England. After several years at home, Patrick had a dream where he was sure God spoke to him telling him to return to Ireland and tell the people there about salvation in Jesus Christ. He obeyed that instruction at age 40, and to pay for his voyage he used his family inheritance. he used much of his money to buy his freedom, for his life was constantly in danger. His ministry proved to be very fruitful. He converted thousands through simple preaching. He planted churches, founded monasteries, and ordained others to Christian ministry. He lived to be 77, and though he continually yearned for home, he remained in Ireland as an ambassador for Christ until his death in A.D. 460. So, when guzzling that keg of green beer this March, remember the tradition behind St. Patrick’s Day. It’s about a man who gave his life to serve Jesus Christ and who died doing so!

FAIRFIELD COMMUNITY GAZETTE - March 2005 39 FAIRFIELD COMMUNITY GAZETTE Fairfield Church of Christ (Mason Road and Chappell Knoll) “Discovering the Heart of Christ, in the Heart of Fairfield.” A story was once told of a small girl who lived in a high-rise building in the inner city of a large metropolis. The girl’s family was poor, but she wanted for only one thing. Each and every afternoon, the girl would sit at her bedroom window and look out at the most beautiful building she had ever seen. The sun reflected off the many windows of the building like a shiny, golden piece of jewelry. “Wow!” the girl thought, “If I could only live in that beautiful building, then I would be happy.” One evening the girl left her bedroom and set out to search for a closer look at the beautiful building. However, as she neared it location, amidst all the other tall buildings that surrounded her, she lost sight of her goal. She searched and searched for the building to no avail. “It has to be right here,” she thought to herself. Finally, exhausted from her search, she found a young boy about her age. She asked the boy, “Do you know where I can find the beautiful, shiny, golden building?” The boy replied, “Oh, yes! I know the building that you are speaking of. I look at it every day.” The boy then pointed over her shoulder. Upon turning around, the little girl spotted something that amazed her. It was the building in which she lived, reflecting a beautiful golden glimmer from the sun. While the girl had longed for what she believed that she did not have, she had failed to see the value of what she did have. —copied We all walk in blessings every day and yet like the little girl sometimes don’t realize how blessed we really are. I want to personally invite you and your family to come church this Sunday. It will bless your lives and you will grow a deeper appreciation for your life and God who supplies all our needs. Please take a look below at our worship times and other activities we have and drop by some time. We would love to meet you. On Sunday mornings; Bible Classes for babies to adults begins at 9:30am.

The celebration of Lent is well underway. Easter itself is just around the corner. Take a look at some of the happenings at Good Shepherd. Rise Again - Easter Cantata - Friday March 25th Andrew was just a simple fisherman who had become a follower of the John the Baptizer. One day he heard John call Jesus “The Lamb of God.” Curious to learn what he meant, Andrew began to follow Jesus, who turned around and said, “Who do you seek?” Andrew replied, “Rabbi, where are You staying?” Jesus said, “Come and see.” That was all. “Come and see,” but those three words would change Andrew’s life forever. Come “Rise Again” with Jesus Christ our Savior. Good Shepherd United Methodist Church choir and orchestra will present this wonderful Easter Cantata on Good Friday March 25th, at 7:00 pm in the sanctuary. Alpha, What is Alpha? Everyone is invited to attend an Alpha course. People attend for a wide variety of reasons. Some want to investigate whether God exists, and if there is any point to life; others are concerned about what happens after death. Still others may have attended church on and off all their lives but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. People come from many different backgrounds, holding many different viewpoints - but all come with the same objective: to establish whether Jesus Christ has any real relevance for their lives. If you would like to take part in an Alpha course or know someone who would benefit from the course, contact Rick Ivey@281-373-2273 or email gsmrick@sbcglobal.net.

Trinity Vineyard is a new church gathering in Fairfield. We love Jesus. We are growing through study of the bible. We find life and purpose in relationships. We drink coffee together and dress casually. We exist to pursue God in the company of friends. What’s on our mind this month? We have spent the past month looking at worship as a lifestyle. When most people think of worship they think of the 30 minutes spent singing at their church services on Sunday mornings. While this is an important time that we spend publicly and corporately worshiping God, Jesus has called his followers to so much more. On one occasion Jesus was having a conversation with a woman. We pick up the story in John 4:20 where she challenges Jesus, “Our Fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” In John 4:21 Jesus declares, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.” The implications of this passage are revolutionary. Jesus boldly claims that worship is no longer tied to a specific place, location, building, or even time. No longer do we need to make pilgrimages to sacred places in order to meet God. Thanks to Christ’s life, death, resurrection, ascension, and the Holy Spirit – the dwelling place of God is no longer tied to place and time. The dwelling place of God is in the Christian believer – later in this same passage Jesus claims that all worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Instead of going to sacred places, followers of Christ bring sacred place with them wherever they go. In light of this, we have been investigat- ing how we move beyond the one day a week, public worship mindset. As a community of friends we are pursuing worship as a lifestyle. Who is invited? I mperfect people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures are welcome to attend. When are our Gatherings? NEW SERVICE TIME! We will begin meeting on Sunday mornings on Palm Sunday, March 20th. The morning service will begin at 10:30 am and will end at 11:45 am. Children’s programs are provided for those 6 months – 5th grade. We will continue to meet on Sunday evenings at 6 pm through March 13th. Mid-week small groups are another opportunity to join us. We study the bible together, pray for each other, and do life together. Email or call for more info. What is our Location?
