Thanksgiving

Do you want to know something? God answers prayer! We prayed for very specific things going into our Thanksgiving meal for the homeless and God was faithful like He always is! There were attitudes and hearts changed that morning as we fellowshipped with our new friends.

Didn't the gym look wonderful and festive? Thanks to those that came early to set everything up!





Thanks also to those that cooked, prepared, and served the meal!





God saw to it that just the right people were in attendance that morning.









This was our first attempt at a dinner like this, and I think it was a great success! A few of the guys who came even gave us suggestions on how to make it better next time.

Thank you God for your never ending faithfulness!

Calling all bloggers

This blog has been a bit neglected recently, so I thought I'd try to revive it.

It would be wonderful to use this blog as a way to communicate what God is talking to us about.

And since I brought it up, I might as well start:

One area that God has been talking to me about is prayer and how to do it more intentionally and continuously. Pastor Bob has mentioned the 24/7 prayer of the church in Herrnhut, Germany and I am very interested in exploring that some more. If God's presence is what we want, we need to get serious about it, perhaps start our own 24/7 prayer.

I'm excited t0 see what God is going to do with this...

Picnic and Pyrotechnics

4th of July picnic!

It looks like there will be a casual picnic at Oak Hill somewhere around 6:00 or 6:30 (or after). Bring your own food and maybe something to share. After that, those who want to can go over to Aquila to watch fireworks. Remember to bring chairs and/or blanket incase of no available tables.
See y'all there!!

Conflicted

I have been quite conflicted by the sermon I heard on Sunday and have been trying to put my thoughts into words, but have come to a bad case of writers block. Fortunately I found this article, which pretty well describes my thoughts. Here is a link to the article: http://www.kevindhendricks.com/2002/09/01/christianity-and-patriotism/
Any thoughts?
