March 9... Weekly Training Materials

Greetings to you all on this cold March day. It seems we are at that time of the year when it's either rain or snow... oh well, spring is coming.

PERSONAL NOTE: Yesterday's service was a very good worship time. I received several comments about the message. I don't know if you noticed but Mr. Seth Cunningham participated in the morning service by playing the piano for the song "Shout to the north". He did such a nice job that I was not even aware that he was playing! Good work Seth.

Let me share with you an event that happened to me. Last week while I was in the office, a man stopped in to see me for a few minutes. He told me that he wanted to meet me because he had seen me on the TV program, "ASK THE PASTOR". He took the time to tell me how much he appreciated the fact that I was on the program and he liked the biblical answers. I told him that biblical answers is what the program is supposed to be about. Providing biblical answers is my purpose on the program. Thanks friend for stopping by. I will be on the TV program again on March 20, 2009.

Those of you reading this blog are some of the first to know that on May 17, at 4 PM., we will have a special music concert with the Calvarymen Quartet as our guests! I am looking forward to this and I encourage you to get behind this as an outreach event. We will be receiving a love offering for the group. Rick and I are in the process also of finalizing the summer concert series. I think you are going to like what you hear.
