Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

Last Saturday morning, I had an excellent meeting with Howie Hansen and Leo Firanek concerning a men's life group for men over 40.

Here are some of the particulars.  We will be meeting at Howie's home, 7:00 P.M. once a month, starting on Tuesday, September 17, 2013.

Men, I would ask that you consider putting this on your calendars, and invite others to come as well!

Our desire is to use this as a tool (for the men from our church) to invite their non-churched friends to come to a setting where they feel comfortable.

Great having our daughter, Becky, with us over the weekend.

Lots of first time guests in the second service yesterday.

I love meeting new people.

I love to experience the excitement that new folks bring to our church.

In both services, I enjoyed (was blessed by) the expressions of worship from our church family.

We are all called upon to take ownership of our worship.

God desires your worship.  Your love for Him.

No one else can worship for you.

Thanks to our worship team for a great job of ministry yesterday.  Way to go Pastor Amanda!

We are all responsible for the information that we receive concerning God's Word and our walk with Him.

Perhaps you have heard hundreds, if not thousands of sermons in your lifetime.  You are responsible for the implementation of those sermons (thoughts, principles).

Jesus said in Luke 12:48, "To whom much is given, much is required."

For most of our church family, the issue is not more knowledge, but more implementation of what we already know.

I am very, very, excited about the fall for our church.

So many great events, plans.  Let's all continue to pray for a continuing move of the Holy Spirit!

We need you! 

You need the church!

Love you all.......
