Hey folks – thanks for praying for me this week as I was at my study break. Hope you enjoyed the missionary speaker yesterday! I’m looking forward to next Sunday morning – four people are getting baptized and joining the church! Each one has a neat story of faith to tell. I hope you can be a part of it. After the service, we will be having a church potluck. Make sure you bring a main dish and a side dish or dessert to pass. Church will supply the beverages, table service and rolls. After the potluck, we will be having our Annual business meeting. We will be deciding on our budget for 2008 and also electing our church officers and committee members. There will be no evening service. If you are a member and can make it – you need to be there!
As far a my Study Break goes, I was able to spend some time this week thinking about what we should study together as a church family and what some of our goals might be. Words like change, commitment, growth, fellowship and family came to mind. I think this is going to be an exciting (and possibly uncomfortable – but stretching is often uncomfortable) year for our church. We have several new people who have agreed to serve on our committees. That always makes things creative and innovative. Please be praying for our leadership as we develop this further.
I’m leaving this morning (Monday) to take my mom down to see my brother Bill in Florida (he has a serious infection). I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon. Please pray for him!
I ran across an article the other day (entitled stinkin’ thinkin’) and thought it was pretty good. While not overtly spiritual in nature, it’s interesting to see how often we engage our minds this way – to our detriment. The article is a little long – but if you have the time, read through it and see if you do any (or several) of these.
Have a great day!
Pastor Bob
