Can you believe Jan. 09 is almost over? It has been a great Month. Ministering on miracles has been so great and our small group on Wed. continues to be blessed. Keith and the K-Team have been rocking the youth meetings on Wed. and this years outlook is so great as Davin and Laurie continue to expand there ministry to our youth.. Met with Bro. Doug McCalister today and loaned Journey Fellowship one of our costumes. That Brother is such a joy to be around. He is always so insightful and knowledgeable. I gave him a book to read that our staff has been reading ( Who Stole My Church). It is some good reading. In my office laying out our vision for the rest of the year. This is His Year.

For those who travel along with our blogs and it kind of keeps you current you may have noticed I have been sorta not here. With the responsibility's of our church, building a new home, and with my wife's illness it has been a challenge to keep up. Deb. Lobell stopped to pick up one of my Experiencing God books today. She is an excellent small group leader. Her small group on Wed. A.M. has been going on for 5 yrs. She will fill in for me while I stay with my lovely wife through her hospital stays. I appreciate all our staff. They have come alongside and been so supportive.
We are asking our Church to fast with us as they are led for 21 days. We will be mapping out our vision and shape for our church during this time. We have already experienced so much change and this year I am committed to helping create a church that our Lord would be so pleased with. He has put so much new talent and folks who have a similar vision as I do, What a joy. One of the reasons for success is one mind and one accord. It was what God birthed the Church with and it is the backbone of where he will take it. This month is been on miracles. These sermon topics were laid out long before we had any sicknes. God shurely has His hand on us and it is without a doubt we see His handiwork. Hey M+M

Good morning 2009. I hope everyone is as excited about this new year as I am. We kick off our adult small group here at the church on Wed. night with "Experiencing God". We used this material in our ladies small group on Wed. A.M. and it was great. There is an anticipation to the greatness of God. How about the last service of the year. Wow what a service. Then we kicked off the new year with a series "Four Ingredients for a Miracle". God touched so many with the first service in that series called "Thirsty". This Sun. will be so great as we have laid out the first four months ministry. I have bought a book for each of the staff here. It's called "Who Stole My Church". It will give the young insight into how the ever faithful feel about change in the church and it will help the faithful who have been there embrace the change and there value to the body of Christ to be a part. All are important to embrace true change if they have a unified vision.
