Hayride Help Needed

This is a copy of Jenn's email she sent out this morning so if you didn't get it here it is. Chris.

Hey everyone! The Hayride is this Wed - Sat from 6:30 until about 10 each night. We need some help in the heaven scene. Basically we are just acting things out that make us happy! Noel is painting, and they suggested having people act like they are reuniting with relatives or friends! They need an additional 10 people to help. Please let me know tomorrow or Tuesday if you will be available any night! You don't have to participate every night.

There is a dress rehearsal Tuesday evening! If you can make it, that would be great but it is not mandatory!

Directions!= Hayride is South Hwy 69 toward Moundville. Turn Right on McPherson Landing Road. Turn Right on the 1st road behind Big Sandy United Methodist. It will be on your left. Call me if you have any questions!

Hope to see ya on Wednesday!!!

Disaster Response Team

This is the email address for the Disaster Response Team. vvdrt@comcast.net Please pray about your decision to join this team. Remember the first 25 will make the primary team, I am expecting a great response to join, so we will have a reserves list to call if some on the primary team are unable to go when needed. The D.R.T. training will be scheduled as soon as I have the first 25 to sign up and we will also have the reserves to attend the training as well so we get the proper certifications for everyone. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns before signing up so we can seek God's answer for you together.

Prayer Request

My nephew is having oral surgery tomorrow at 12:30pm, if you will please pray during this time for a calmness for him and my sister. He is only 4. They will have to put him to sleep in order to do the surgery and there is only so far the doctors will let my sister go with him in the back office area. He is not aware of all that is going to take place and my sister is concerned that when he finds out she won't be with him he may panic. So please pray for God to give him and her a sense of peace during this time, and of course the doctors, that they will be guided by the original Surgeon's hand. Thank you all.

Sunday Morning

Can't wait to be in the presence of God today! How exciting to have the privilege to go to church and have fellowship with the Creator of the Universe!

Amazing GOD

Do you ever sit around and wonder why did we study this or that on that day? Why don"t we study something else?

I had that happen this past week. As I was studying JOB I thought, 'Well this will be interesting to see how it applies to my life and everyone elses.' I was looking back trying to take what has already happened to me and apply what I was learning about. Good thought so I thought. The past is the past. There is no going back and changing it, removing it from history or anything. I found out the lesson from last week was really to prepare me for this week. I had a very big meeting yesterday in Lubbock, TX. I actually am sitting in the airport right now stuck because of a broke plane, another story altogther. I was stressing about the presentation I was going to do, the reactions I would deal with and how big the potential sale was. I dealt with this Monday, Tuesday and into Wednesday. I was so happy to get to church Wednesday. After I left choir practice I just a peace come over me concerning the meeting. I didn't have the presentation done, clothes packed, shirt ironed or even tie picked out. But I just knew all would be fine. I started recalling the previous week's study. I don't have time to worry about things. If I prepare my life right, which is putting Christ first in all things, He will provide over and beyond what I can imagine. I was trying to make the presentation that was the problem. I had not prayed about what I should say or even think. I am nothing, HE IS ALL!

I did get the presentation finished on the flight out to Lubbock, TX Thursday morning. I arrive at my customers headquarters and met with the owners. Right when the meeting began, my customer said, 'Can we just sit and discuss the floor system and our thoughts and concerns. We have seen enough presentations.' I began to laugh! I had spent all my time preparing something not even needed.

I say that to say this......

ARE WE SPENDING ALL OF OUR TIME PREPARING STUFF NOT EVEN NEEDED? OR ARE WE PREPARING FOR THE KINGDOM?

LORD, I pray all of us seek you first in all we do. Nothing is too for you LORD. Please help us deny ourselves and look upon you. You are awesome. I just sit in awe of what you continue to do in my life and there is no reason at all I deserve it. Thank you for your Love and thank you for your Grace. Please touch the hearts of our class members that they may become bold in your will to share their own story of their Savoir.

God is so Good!

We are very excited that we now know we are going to be having a little girl! The support from our ABS class is awesome and we love each and every one of you. Another praise is we placed Gabby with Melanie's cousin who helps dogs find good homes. Hopefully Gabby can find a home where she can run and play. It's so exciting to be involved with a church who lifts Jesus up and is lookingto make a difference in the community. To God be the Glory!

Job Tomorrow!

I am amazed each time I read about Job. I pray that we can all grow so close to God that we will be able to always trust him in the good and when we experience adversity. See you in the am!

Volunteers needed for Heaven scene of Hayride

Hello everyone, Kim Cole Parker contacted me via Facebook and told me that she still needs several volunteers for the Heaven scene of her hayride. Hopefully some from our class will be available to help out!

Game Night

Just a reminder, Game Night at our house Saturday October 9th at 6:30pm. Bring a drink or dessert and a couple bucks for pizza. Bring a game if there is something particular that you are wanting to play. We will have a fire out back so if you want to do some marsh-mellows or smores let us know and will get some of the ingredients and split the cost. Hope to see everyone there.
