Get in Here Ministries?

What a great night we had last night! I saw some familiar faces that I had not seen in a while. We had a great time of worship together. We laughed a lot, ate some cookies, and enjoyed our time together. We talked last night about our cure for the world. The cure that we possess in the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Savior and our awesome God who gave His Son for all of us so that we could be with Him for eternity. We talked about the joy we have in knowing that our sins are forgiven and forgotten. The ironic thing is that this cure we possess is greater than any cure imagined today. Greater than it would be to possess the cure for cancer or aids or any other type of disease. Why is it greater you ask? Because the cure we have found saves us for eternity! Jesus is the cure for a lifetime of sins and is our payment due for our atonement. He paid the ultimate price. He is the ultimate sacrifice! Thank you God for sending us your Son! So what do we do with this cure we possess. We watched a comical video of sorts of two guys who were trying to spread the word of Christ through what they called Get in Here Ministries. Although it was humorous, it was also very real in portraying our inability to spread the good news of Christ because we as humans are getting in the way of the message. We sometimes have it all wrong in our approach to sharing the gospel with others. Here are some scriptures that we looked at and I would encourage everyone to go back and take a look at these. The scriptures tell us exactly how we should share the good news of Christ. Love you guys! Ross

Sing-Song Trip

With the Banquet being moved back one week I decided last minute that we ought to go to Sing Song. We went last year and had a blast! So, I know that at least 6 or so of us will head out Saturday to catch the show in Abilene. If you want to come and happen to look at this blog I need to know by 2:00 PM TODAY. Thanks! Text or call me.

Date Change for Someone Loves You Banquet

In order to allow time for the kitchen and, more importantly, the bathrooms to be complete over in the Activity building Dorman and the Elders have asked us to move the Banquet back one week. So, think about it, a banquet specially designed for say 150-200 of our elderly with no bathrooms! That spells disaster!! So, we will wait. By March 1st the state of the art kitchen should be complete and we can celebrate our sweethearts and the completion of the kitchen at the same time!

Sign-ups this Sunday

This Sunday I will be passing around two important sign-up sheets. One is for Pine Springs Camp in June, June 14th-20th. The other is for Wilderness Trek which will be July 18th-25th. The main reason for the early sign-up sheets is to see how many of you are planning on trying to come. So, if you know already that your in or you feel confident that you plan to go, sign-up Sunday!
