August 31... Training Materials

Greetings to you all on this cool last of August day. It is hard to believe that summer has gone by so fast. I know that all of the children are excited about heading back to school (well, maybe not all of them).I met with the Word of Life leaders the other day and received their schedules for the coming school year. WOW!!! It looks like an exciting year.

PERSONAL NOTE: Our Sunday service went well, but we were missing a musician on the platform. Rick Cunningham has resigned, as of August 24, 2009. I am saddened by this but I also know that God will provide. We ask for every one's help as we regroup in the days ahead. We will miss his music, but the Church must pick up the slack and move forward.

A special thanks to Dee Wilson for singing during the worship service. Great song... great job...nice ministry. Thanks, Dee.

I have a reminder to all of you concerning Sunday, September 13th, 2009. On this day Greg Kelly from World Mission will be with us for two reasons. He will tell us about World Mission and specifically the ABRAHAM PROJECT and our participation with two people groups by offering THE TREASURE so that they can hear the Word of God in their own language. You will not want to miss this Sunday. We will make a special presentation to Greg at this time.

YOU CAN KNOW GOD'S WILL: According to First Peter 3:9, The command that is given (which is God's will) is: "Do not return evil for evil". We must all remember and practice this. It is difficult but it is necessary in our daily lives.
