“O ye of little faith!” I was blessed by the attendance in our services yesterday. The wet weather or the numerous sicknesses going around did not keep our attendance from being really good. We definitely saw that going to one morning service is not even a remote possibility (never thought it was) as the auditorium was almost packed for the 10:30AM service.
IE3 is our vision for 2015. Intentional in our evangelism, equipping and encouraging. Many folks in attendance made commitments so now we will see if we follow through.
We will have a special series of revival services featuring the preaching ministry of Pastor Jack Bailey beginning Sunday morning, January 18, and going through Wednesday evening, 1/21. Regular times on Sunday and 6:30PM Monday – Wednesday. Folks, pray without ceasing!
I had two others tell me yesterday that they read the Bible through in 2014. One of them has already begun doing so again in 2015 using a different translation. I encourage the staff, deacons, leadership, et cetera to do likewise.
We have had around ten folks sign up for the Saturday, December 5, through Saturday, December 12, 2015 GRACE Ministries trip to Guatemala. I would suggest sponsors of the children in the Blaukamp Center consider this trip as it is not as “intense” labor wise as the other trips I lead. The focus will be on the sixty families involved in the Blaukamp Center and those families working in the El Tejar dump. Sign up via an e-mail to me.
I will be in the church auditorium tomorrow night from 6:00 – 7:00PM. This hour will be dedicated to prayer and prayer alone. It will become a weekly happening. Can folks join me? Sure. Will I pray if others do not come? Sure. The plan is for this “prayer meeting” to take place every Tuesday.
Wild Card weekend in the NFL does not excite me. I watched zero football yesterday. Have not watched any since Thursday night and not real sure I watched any then! As the NFL playoffs progress, I will get a bit more interested. Thinking about having a “souper Super Bowl fellowship” the night of the game – what do you think?!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
