Work That Energizes

Monday night, four people met with me to work on the new building in the evening.  It was great!  We were able to knock out some very important items that allow us to move forward Tuesday morning right away.

After a three hour work session like that, I am so energized!

Now, on Tuesday morning, I am still feeling that energy as I study and pray for Sunday's sermon.  I am putting the last touches on my study and then its off to work I go.

Love University

 
I am having a great time preaching Love University: Summer Term.  The messages are so basic, but so important.  Don't miss this Sunday!  The sermon title is, "...as yourself..."  I want to talk to you about what the Bible says about loving yourself and seeing yourself like God sees you.

I encourage you to catch up on past sermons by listening to the podcast on our web site.  I especially urge you to listen to the message, "What's In A Name."  I will have it posted later this week.  If you have not heard the message describing our name change, you need to hear it before you enter the process of helping choose a new name.

Thanks to National Community Church and their team for cool logo for the series!

Crazy Bits Of News

I have been so crazy busy with the building project and name change that my blog has fallen behind.  Sorry.

Here are some recent highlights and bits of news.
1.  We are working very hard to get everything done that is necessary for us to have our occupancy permit by August 4th.
2.  We are going to have more to finish after we move in.
3.  We desperately need workers who can paint and sand drywall in the next week.
4.  We are about ready to put down the new tile.  If you have any home experience with tile you will be a perfect helper.
5.  We have begun the process of changing the name of First Assembly of God.  You will get info in the mail this week!  Ballots will be received all week and at church this Sunday.  This is not a survey.  This is a vote.  Anyone 12 and older can vote.
6.  We are starting to plan for our public grand opening on September 8th!  Let's have at least 300 people at church that day!  Service at 10:00 a.m.
7.  The first night of MEGA Sports Camp was very good.  Go find more friends who can be there this week!  We have plenty of room.
8.  Plans have progressed wonderfully for youth camp and kids camp.  Our students are going to have great camping experiences with God this year.

It is a historic summer for our church.  I don't have time to contact each person and beg you to get involved.  So, jump in with confidence and help out and be involved in some great opportunities this year.
