E-Flash From Dan, February 5, 2016 - Super Bowl 50 Edition
Dear
E-Flash Friends;
I just
saw the results of a large nationwide survey which indicated that a significant
majority of Americans said the best way to start the day, on Super Bowl Sunday,
was to go to church. In fact, many of them expressed a strong desire to hear a
sermon in order to really get the day rolling properly.
What a
fantastic finding, huh? That information makes me feel terrific!
Um…
Hold
on…
Wait a
minute…
…Okay,
I admit I just made up those survey results. I’m sorry. There was no such study
conducted. This is just another example of my wishful thinking hard at work.
But hey, can you blame a guy for trying to be optimistic and hopeful?
The
truth is I’m hoping you will be at church this Sunday, Feb. 7th,
because we are going to have some terrific services. I have been preparing
diligently and am excited to be talking about the truth that God provides for
us. Our awareness of this important reality can genuinely make a difference in
our lives.
And
the worship team has some wonderful music planned.
I was
talking with a friend today who told me that when the worship team leads us in
the services it is a time of joy! I agree.
You
won’t want to miss this great chance to be joyful!
By the
way, in all seriousness, the Super Bowl has a later start time this year. It starts
at 5:30 p.m., Central time. So you could come to either the 9am or 11am service
and still watch the game; the pre-game programming; the pre-pre game
programing; and have plenty of time to eat tons of chicken wings. (Just trying
to offer some helpful info.)
Hope
to see you this Sunday!
Love
and blessings
Dan
P.S.
Coming to the services this Sunday will not result in any conflict if you are
planning to watch Downton Abbey either.

E-Flash From Dan, January 30, 2015
Dear
E-Flash Friends:
What’s
the best way to spend Super Bowl Sunday?
That’s an easy question to answer.
First,
you get up and come to a thrilling and inspiring church service! Then you go watch the game.
You
thought I might say that, huh?
I know
a lot of people are excited about the Super Bowl but I’m excited because we are
starting a new 4-week series this Sunday, February 1st. The title of the series is, “Putting First Things
First” and it will deal with getting some of the foundational issues in our
lives in place.
The
first week of the series we will look at something very important Jesus spoke
about which is found in Matthew chapter 6, vv. 31 & 32. The title of the
message is, “Seek First The Kingdom.”
The
worship team is planning some terrific music that will point us to the One who
is worthy of our praise. God will be glorified and I believe you will connect
with Him if you come.
Also, I’ve
had a fairly interesting week and I’ll share a little bit of my experience with
you.
You won’t
want to miss it!
Looking
forward to seeing you this Sunday.
Love
and blessings,
Dan
P.S.
You can be assured that nothing at the church has been deflated. Everything is being maintained according to
official church league rules.
