Weekly Rundown (9.19.2011)

• Amazing baptisms yesterday! I really believe baptism not only blesses the one being baptized, but those watching and welcoming the new Christ-follower.  Baptism is a public and bold reminder of what God works inside the heart of man. My faith grew larger yesterday, and I was reminded that God is indeed mighty to save.


• We are continuing to see people saved in regular frequency in our worship services.  We praise God for this and ask for more! The greatest thing in the world is to be saved and satisfied by Jesus Christ!!


• Our new series "LIFE APPS" continues this week.
  
  
  
  • Is there someone you are positioned to invite?!? Praying you do!!
  
  
  
  


• To all our amazing volunteers: THANK YOU!! You live out our core value of active participation.
  
  
  
  • I'm excited to be able to hang out this week with our Tech/Production ministry team.  They are true unsung heroes because 99% of people never know they are there unless something goes wrong. And >>>99% everything is right because of their hard work, service, and commitment to excellence!!
  
  
  
  


• Missions update:
  
  
  
  • We have a team going to Honduras later this month to dig a well and present the Gospel.
  
  
  • After one year of radically increasing our missions giving and going, our elders believe we will need to hire a missions/outreach pastor in 2012.  I believe our church has unbelievable potential to impact our local communities and penetrate lostness & relieve poverty around the globe.  Ask anyone who has taken a trip this year and you will discover how God enlarged their heart to match more closely His heart.  This is what is happening to our church's collective heart as well. Psalm 67!!
  
  
  
  


• Beth has a scan this week to hopefully/prayerfully discover that all the EBV 'nodes' are gone from her body.  Please join us in prayer.  Once this hurdle is cleared, we should be able to talk more about moving her back home "full time"!!
