Pastor’s Paragraphs
thanks for the good
response to the first of
the series of messages
on the family. i trust you
will encourage others to
be in worship to share in
these vital thoughts for
christian families. also
be reminded of the opportunity for the Marriage Retreat just over a week away. there
is still time to contact the church office or
Ricky Solar.
Don’t forget to visit the website often. as
was evidenced by some new folks to our
church sunday morning, it continues to
serve as a beacon for our church ministries.
there you will find up to the minute event information, programming and ministries.
also you will find the latest issue of the mail
out as well as blogs from our ministers. i
am so grateful to Susan Cline and the work
she does for us in continuing development
of this ministry for our members as well as
those who might be seeking a church home.
research tells us the web site of a church is
a critical tool in the process of finding a
church.
congratulations and thanks to our
Women’s Ministry for the outstanding conference this past weekend. these conferences are a blessing to our church as well
as to women from across the area. our
prayer is that the spiritual impact will continue to bear fruit for the Lord and our
church for months and years to come.
silly little stories sometimes make significant and pointed messages for us. Here’s
one of my favorites. “to illustrate the matter
of commitment to his son, the father asked
this question, ‘three frogs were sitting on a
log and one decided to jump off. How many
frogs were left?’ to that the young boy answered, “oh, that’s easy dad, two.” then
the father quickly corrected the boy by saying, ‘You weren’t listening.’ ‘once again
now, three frogs were sitting on a log and
one decided to jump off. How many frogs
were left?’ the answer suddenly dawned on
the young man. He changed his answer to
‘three, because one had only decided to
jump, he was not committed to jump.’ commitment is not easy. it requires more than a
decision, it takes commitment.” therein we
find a great issue for the church to ponder
today.

It’s hunting season and we need to start now in gathering deer meat, or

be successful. Each person will receive four (4) passes to this year’s Wild

Our guest speaker this year is Siran Stacy, former football player. In November 2007, his life changed forever when a drunk driver struck his van, a
mile from their home, killing his wife and 4 of his 5 children. Come hear his
testimony and hear how the Lord has carried him through this tragedy and
continues to work in his life. Please contact Larry Kennedy 850-8405 or the Church Office
272-0604 if you have a deer to donate. Please help us in making this outreach event successful.
