Good Thursday evening to each of you. I apologize for neglecting to post anything here since the beginning of August. My how time does fly!

August brings about the time that every parent, student and teacher dream of...........the first day of school! I hope this school year has gotten off to a good start for everyone. May it be all you want and more. And remember to take God along with you as you go through your daily routine. Things will move along a lot easier if we allow Him to steer our direction.

I wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming Family Fun Night this Sunday, Aug. 31st. There will be lots of fun, food and games for everyone. Y'all come on out and bring along a friend or two!

Remember to be in prayer for our pastor and his family while they are on vacation. They will be back with us soon. Everyone needs a little time away now and then to recharge the batteries and organize their thoughts. When we don't take those necessary breaks, it can lead to burn out and lots of ill tempers.

Looks like this entry will be short and sweet. I hope everyone will enjoy the upcoming holiday. Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)

God is so Amazing!

Good Saturday evening to each of you. I trust you are having a good weekend. I wanted to take a few minutes and update you on some of the activities taking place this month. But before I do that, I wanted to share an experience I had this weekend.

I attended the Beth Moore simulcast at Cornerstone Community Church Friday night and this morning. Let me tell you.........it was an absolute blessing! To give you an idea of the number of people participating in this event.........there were 70,000 women viewing the event in 715 locations. As Beth Moore so eloquently put it "God had to have His in hand in this weekend in order for things to go off so well". If ever you doubt God's goodness and grace, take time to look at nature and the things around you as well as the many ways in which He has so abundantly blessed your life. Your mind will be changed. He is our Rock, our Redeemer, our ever present help in times of need. He will not forsake us or leave us. His word always remains true.

If you have never participated in one of her simulcasts, I strongly encourage it. You will walk away feeling rejuvenated.

On to the activities for the month of August:

There will be a youth led service Sunday evening at 6pm. More than ever our youth need our love and support. So much has changed since I was a teenager and without the guidance of friends and family who love them and want the best for them, they may not find themselves walking to God but away from Him. I encourage everyone to be the light that our young people need to see in order that they may know Christ's love remains true.

The youth will be heading to the Big Youth Thing Aug. 7th. Please let our Minister of Students know if you are planning to participate.

There will be a church conference on Sunday, Aug. 10th. The youth committee will meet that afternoon at 3:30pm. SNAC (Sunday Nights after Church) will follow the evening worship hour.

The monthly birthday party will take place on Wed., Aug. 13th. If you or someone you know if having a birthday this month, invite them to join you in the fun, food and fellowship.

There will be a toddler back to school cookout on Thursday, Aug. 14th. Remember to bring your bathing suits and a towel!

Men's breakfast will take place on Sunday, Aug. 17th in the fellowship hall. Breakfast will be served at 8am. All men are invited.

Women on Mission will meet Wed., Aug. 20th in choir room immediately following supper at 6pm.

There will be an evening of food, fun, games and fellowship on Sunday, Aug. 31st. Come and bring a friend or two!

On Aug. 16th the children will be heading out for a day trip. Parents please let our Minister of Students know if your child will be attending.

The Children's Committee will meet on Sunday, Aug. 17th at 3:30pm.

I believe this covers all I have for now. Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
