Thank you for responding so well to the Buckets of Hope. Susan Warren, our Connection Minister, is working hard to gather and distribute the relief buckets to the places they are needed. Last week she was able to deliver 7 to Johns Island. Last Sunday night Janie and I went with Pastor Sean and some of the youth for a buying spree at Lowes. JIBC was given enough money to purchase 9 more buckets and materials. It was fun to watch them do their power shopping. I felt like we were on an episode of Extreme Couponing! Good job everyone. It is not too late to donate toward buying the Disaster Relief recommended item or to donate. They youth were able to buy all the items requested for just under $70.00 per bucket! Billy and Felecia Hebert had the buckets to donate…woohoo. Bucket List for Jesus…love it.
WOODLAWN…THE MOVIE. We have been blessed by two outrageously good movies lately. War Room is an absolute must see. Now, Woodlawn takes off like a rocket. What an outstandingly good movie. It is inspirational and so clearly Christ centered. This movie should be a block buster and send a message to Hollywood that these great movies can make them money as well as be a positive influence on America. Go see the movie. Take someone with you if you can. Grandparents, I want to recommend a sneak attack. Offer to babysit for your kids and give them $9 to go see the movie at James Island Cinema. You get the grands and they get a great movie. Everyone wins.
FALL FESTIVAL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31. This may be our biggest community outreach event of the year. PRAY His Kingdom come and His will be done. Pray for safety of those attending and strength for those serving. PARTICIPATE by volunteering. There are plenty of opportunities to be a part of the event. You can sign up for the first half of the evening or the second half…brave souls can sign up for the whole evening. PARTY by having fun. Smiling faces and helpful members go a long way to make guests feel welcome. This much laughter counts as two therapy visits…and it is free! We put on a positive family oriented event for the community. Let’s show them a great time.
See you this Sunday, good Lord willing
Pastor Tom
