Weekly Rundown (10.4.09)

• I've take a little time off from blogging ... good to be back so here's the rundown ...


• Loving the Fall weather!!


• Praying hard for this "GAP" series ... God doesn't want any gaps in our lives, our relationships, our integrity, or our relationship with Him.  Jesus died on the Cross the close the gap between us and God!!
  
  
  
  • Next Sunday is a GREAT time to invite guests to church!!
    
    
    
    • In Calhoun, we'll talk about how to deal with adversity and bad things in our lives.
    
    
    • In Dalton, we'll be talking sex & purity.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• Really excited about launching the Spanish translation services during our 9:30 am Stage 123 service.  Spread the word so more people can hear the Word!!!


• My team won on Saturday -- Navy beat Air Force 16-13 in OT :)


• If our youth apply what they learned tonight, their lives and futures will be better and brighter and God will be glorified.  What did they learn?
  
  
  
  • How to read the Bible on their own and bring it to life in their life.  Good stuff ... thanks Beth, Kurt, Harper, John and all the amazing volunteers!!
  
  
  
  


• Don't forget to bring candy for Fall Festival on Wednesday or Sunday!


• Had a great lunch this week with about 10 church planters from around North Georgia and Chattanooga.  I'm excited to be able to hang out with this guys and hopefully encourage them in their journey to lead Christ-centered churches reaching the unchurched and lost people in their communities!!


• UGA dropped out of the Top 25 ... something is not right in Athens ... ?


• Adoption update:
  
  
  
  • The Ethiopian courts reopen this week (they have been closed since late July due to the rainy season).
  
  
  • Our agency operates a transitional home for children they receive from the Ethiopian government that are eligible for adoption.  The home has room for 35 children and they have room for 26 kids right now.  This means that there will be movement of children from orphanages into their "forever" families soon!!  We're praying we are in this next wave.
  
  
  
  


• Things to remember this week:
  
  
  
  • First Wednesday: Calhoun & Dalton
  
  
  • Student Fall Retreat this weekend (Sat-Sun)
  
  
  • Child Dedication in Dalton on Sunday afternoon.
