August 16, 2010... Training Materials

Greetings on this very pleasant Monday morning.

PERSONAL NOTE: I felt that testerday's worship service was just what many people neede to hear and participate in. Several people mentioned that the message gave them just what they needed to hear. That is wonderful!

I want to thank Jan Foltz for the message in song that she gave us. Great message and execution. Thanks, Jan.

REMINDER: Plan now to attend and invite some friends and guests to the August 29, 2010 concert with HEAVEN'S CALL. This is a wonderful opportunity to exercise our evangelistic muscles and practice going forth and making disciples! Take advantage of the event. This is the last concert of the summer (boy, it has gone by fast).

Please read the half-page insert that was in the bulletin concerning Fall Outreach Sundays. I have designated four Sundays as special attendance booster days. I want everyone to get behind these "push" Sundays. Let's shoot for morning worship attendance figures of 120 for August 29; 130 for September 26; 140 for October 31; 150 for November 21. These are figures that are realistic and yet will challenge us. We as leaders must get behind this if we want to boost our attendance. Take up the challenge! We want the summer slump to be past history!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: The will of God is clearly given in Hebrews chapter 13 and verse 5, where scipture says that we are to be content with what we have. If you read the context carefully, you will noice that the direct subject involved money... the love of money. We can be content because God will never leave us or forsake us. As a result, we can be confident in this life because we know Who we serve and where we are going!
