WHAT A GREAT WAY TO BEGIN!
This past Sunday we celebrated the baptism of 8 followers of Jesus. The Lord added 2 from the Hispanic Church, Luz Y Verdad. It is always a joy to work with Pastor Claudio. They are averaging around 50 every Sunday and are as active in outreach as I could possibly imagine! Then we baptized a mother with her three children. Follow that up with the baptism of a mother and her teenage daughter and you have a wonderfully exciting celebration. To God be the glory. Thank you for your generous giving that allows us to have missions like Celebrate Recovery and the Transition House. You make an impact on individuals, their family and the entire community.
LIFE’S HEALING CHOICES
I am thrilled with the start of our church wide series on “Life’s Healing Choices”. We have 11 Connection Groups that meet in homes throughout the week and in various communities. We have 9 Sunday Connection Groups that meet on campus every Sunday morning. Some are continuing the Adult Bible Study and some are using the Life’s Healing Choices” Bible Study material. Either way, you have great options for connecting with God, God’s Word, God’s people, and His community. Off to a great start! Susan Warren is leading this ministry. If she can be of help to you or your group, please give her a call at the church office, 762-0244.
PERSONAL WORD
An update on my daughter Erin, Trey and baby Wyatt. By the time you read this, we may have a baby on board. Monday as I type this, the plan was just made to start the ball rolling to deliver this week. Not that they asked me, but I agree. I cast my granddaddy vote for Thursday, but gladly surrender to the wonderful timing of the Lord. I cannot thank you enough for your prayers and thoughts. He is our strength and salvation.
See you Sunday, Lord willing,
Pastor Tom
Wyatt was born Monday night, October 7 a little after 9 pm, weighing approximately 2 pounds. Mom and baby are doing good...Please continue to pray as Erin recovers from a c-section and Wyatt continues to grow bigger and stronger each day!
