Sunday Reflections
10/15/07 08:25 PM
Just a few quick thoughts about this past Sunday:
- Jeremiah did a great job. His message was from Matthew 9:10-13 about Jesus eating at Matthew's house and the Pharisees pitching a fit. He talked about how the church is to be a hospital for sick people. Our disease is sin. Jesus is the cure. And like a doctor who sees someone in need, it is our responsibility to reach out. Who are you praying for? Who are building a relationship with? Who are you inviting?
- Janet began training for Coastal Kidz at 9:30AM. Coastal Kidz is our ministry to children 1st-5th Grade. On November 25th Coastal Kidz will have their own entire age appropriate service. We still need more volunteers in this ministry. See Janet if you have any questions about how you can be involved.
- Kathy Bench is faithfully leading our children during Christmas Program Practice at 9:30AM. It is definitely more difficult that people realize. She's doing a great job. She could always use a few more adults to help out - sound, props & decorations, crowd control, etc.
- During the service I walked to the back of our auditorium. It's a different perspective from back there. I think we're going to add another row of chairs and leave them out. We're creeping up to capacity. We still need our people to scoot up and in. When our kids are in their own service it will free up more space, but we are definitely growing. We had a good crowd on Sunday.
- One highlight of the day was praying for Rob with our Prayer Team and his Small Group immediately after church. Rob just found out he needs heart surgery. Keep him in your prayers.
- We had a Newcomers Lunch after church. I love telling people our story and encouraging them to join us in the adventure of sharing and experiencing LIFE! I also want to thank Kathy Beam for taking care of the meal for our Newcomers Lunch. Not only is she a great cook, but she has a servant's heart and gets everything ready for us! (Those brownies were awesome!)
- Sunday night we went with a group from our church to hear Mercy Me in concert at the North Charleston Coliseum. They are a great worship band. Had a lot of fun.
- Got on the treadmill today - uggh, I am fat and out of shape (but I'm trying to do something about it). That brownie probably didn't help. Everything in moderation right?
- On Sunday, November 18th we're going to do something very cool! More about that later this week.
- This Sunday, we begin our new series, Simple Church. It's going to be a great series!
- A bunch of people have signed up for our church Paintball event (see previous post). Invite and bring someone! That's why we're doing it. It's our version of a Matthew Party!
- I'm actually watching Monday Night Football right now - just so I can see my good friend Buck and his son Robert. They're at the game - in the Giant's endzone right through the uprights. In fact, the Giants just scored and we saw them! We'll probably see them a lot in the first half (in other words the Giants will score a lot - the Falcons stink). Oops - the Falcons just scored. Who knows? They're a scrappy bunch of pit bulls. Bad joke.
