HARD TO BELIEVE
Here is a blast from the past. Do you remember the old Carol Burnett Show? She closed her show each week with a song that said “seems we just got started and before you know it, came the time we have to say so long.” The 40 Days in the Word spiritual growth campaign has almost come and gone. Seems like just yesterday we were praying about starting it, seeking God’s blessings on the number of Connection Groups, trusting God to provide all we needed. Now, we have just one week left, and it seems we just got started.
The first Sunday of April will be a day of celebration for the 40 Days in the Word. We will have an opportunity to hear from those involved, about the Micah 6:8 projects, the struggles to memorize scriptures, new friends made, etc.
SMALL GROUP/CONNECTIONS MEETING WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28
Here is a big old invitation to everyone and anyone who would like to attend. We are asking for all the group leaders, host and facilitators to join us on Wednesday night, March 28 at 7 p.m. in the Worship Center. We want to hear about your group experience, get you to help us plan the April 1st Palm Sunday Celebration, and ask about continuing in a Connection Group. We will even provide a great dinner for you and your family at a nominal fee! We would really appreciate your presence and input at this meeting. There is so much to celebrate and the future potential is great.
IMPACT POTENTIAL
Again, imagine with me the potential impact of having a church family learn how to study the Word of God, practice for 6 weeks different devotional methods of reading the Word, involved in an outreach project of doing the Word, memorizing 6 Bible verses about the Word of God, training up leaders for ongoing Connection groups, hearing 6 messages about the Word of God, and enjoying 6 weeks of fellowship with the people of God. Where is the down side? I know we had a lot of people who could not or did not get involved. It may be too late to get involved in the 40 Days in the Word spiritual growth campaign, but it is not too late to jump in on the ongoing benefits. Be looking for more information concerning the new Connection Groups that will be started. Jump on in. The blessings are waiting.
See you Sunday, good Lord willing!
Pastor Tom
