Weekly Rundown (3.13.2011)

• Love reminding (and challenging) ourselves with God's vision for our church.  Hard to believe this was our 9th vision weekend.  The 5 prayers we are praying based on Acts 2:42-47 --
  
  
  
  • We pray for God to send us "they's" (Acts 2:42) -- imperfect, far from God, don't have it all together people.
  
  
  • We pray for our lives are centered on the Cross where religion dies, mercy is displayed, love is displayed, and grace flows.
  
  
  • We pray for biblical community that meets each others' needs, shares life, gets uncomfortable, and shares God's love to others.
  
  
  • We pray to be an "every day, every where" church where our faith does not stop when the church service ends. We pray the weight of God's glory drives all we do and that God gives us more favor in spreading His name and love.
  
  
  • We pray people get saved and never get over it.  God's salvation is so much more than a decision or avoiding hell, it is life -- full and abundant.  We pray we display the joy of the Lord and how great He is. We pray more people are saved and experience the treasure that is Christ Jesus.
  
  
  
  


• Our volunteers rock!!


• Continuing to pray for "each one [of us] to reach one" ... that God uses each of us to point someone to Jesus Christ.


• Update on Beth:
  
  
  
  • She is now negative for the EB virus (praise!).
  
  
  • However, she has broken out in a very uncomfortable skin rash.  The doctors do not yet know what is causing the rash and are awaiting test results.  It could be something simple (and easily fixed) or it could be a symptom of something more serious.
  
  
  • So our battle continues ... we continue to thank you for your prayers and ask you to continue standing in the gap with us for Beth's healing, recovery, & comfort and for God's glory.
