#2 - THIS COMING SUNDAY is a “DON’T MISS” Sunday! Yes, we are giving away a Sea Doo to a really lucky dad (we will be drawing after the 6pm service…you can watch online if you attend earlier in the day.) BUT…even more important than that the GOSPEL is going to be presented in a way that is…well…let’s just say that this Sunday is going to be one of the most unforgettable Sunday’s we’ve EVER had! You really need to be here…and BRING SOMEONE.
#3 - If you didn’t get a chance to check out the Scripture challenge yesterday then take some time to do it now (here it is.)
#4 - I am turning 40 next Friday! FORTY! FORTY! HOLY CRAP…I feel like I graduated college…blinked my eyes and now I am on the verge of FORTY! WHOA!
#5 - A huge thanks to everyone who prayed for me in regards to finding a publisher for the book I am going to write. After much prayer and consideration a publisher has been selected, a contract has been signed and a book IS being developed. I am so pumped about this process and would ask that you continue to remember me in your prayers.
I LOVE MY CHURCH!
