THURSDAY, 8/12/10
We had a nice Wednesday – praise the Lord! Our day began with a strong attendance in our morning service and ended with a strong attendance in our young adults Bible study with an even stronger attendance in the 7:00PM hour. I don’t know all of the totals but do know we had over 100 students present. The greatest report is that two students prayed to receive Jesus as their personal Savior during the service last night! Praise the Lord!
Shawn Felps, Donnie & Marisa’s son, will have surgery on his neck today. Pray for this procedure to go well.
Steve Morris read the plea for help with removing the paneling and came early yesterday morning and took care of that. Not bad for a Cardinals fan. He was “rewarded” as the Cardinals swept the Reds last night to move into first place in their division. Tonight at 6:00PM we will have some men hanging sheetrock as the next step.
The shower/brunch for Amy Reynolds takes place this Saturday morning, 8/14, beginning at 10:30AM. Ladies, this is a church wide shower as it is Will & Amy’s first baby. It will take place in the parsonage and is a come & go event. It’s a girl (Trophia Willietta or something like that) and Amy is registered at Target, Babies R Us, and Bay Hardware.
We will celebrate the one year anniversary of our Spanish ministry this Sunday afternoon beginning at 2:00PM. My prayer is that our staff, deacons, and other church leaders will be present to show support to this ministry and those who are a part of it. We will be observing the ordinance of baptism as a part of this worship experience.
I am hearing good things about the “potluck with the pastor” set for next Wednesday, 8/18, immediately following the morning service. For this initial time, Lisa and I are providing the meat (possum), the drinks (water), and the dessert (Little Debbie cakes) and ask that others bring the vegetables. We’ll see how it goes and proceed based on the response.
A busy and productive summer for GRACE Ministries comes to a close today as the final team (Georgetown CRC) leaves for home. That shout you will hear around 10:00AM our time will be our staff in Guatemala saying “thank God and Delta they’re gone!” God has really blessed us with a great year thus far.
It is a little after 3:00AM and Lisa has told me the yard had best be mowed before daybreak so I have to go. I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
