Dear
E-Flash Friends;
There’s
been a lot of action around the church last night and today because the women
are getting prepared for their retreat. It
begins this evening. It seems like every
year I forget how much effort they put into this event and then I’m impressed
all over again by the dedication, servanthood and sheer energy of those who
provide leadership and help to make sure the retreat is edifying, encouraging
and uplifting to those who come. Those
who will be participating this year will be blessed!
(Occasionally,
if I time things just right, they take pity on me and I can get in on a little
bit of the food. This has only come with
a great deal of practice.)
That’s
happening on Friday night and Saturday. On
Sunday I will be talking about being unashamed of Jesus and the gospel message.
You
might be thinking, “What could anyone possibly say about that subject?”
I’m
glad you asked. You won’t want to miss
this Sunday to find out the answer to that question. But just for a little sneak peek, the Apostle
Paul contributed to the subject in this way, “For I am not ashamed of this Good
News about Christ. It is the power of
God at work, saving everyone who believes…”
Romans 1:16
I hope
you can make it. It will be worth it!
We are
also having our Chili Cook-Off immediately following the 11 o’clock
service. This is a youth
fundraiser. Come and taste a whole bunch
of great chili prepared by a number of folks from the congregation and then
vote for the best tasting chili.
This is
a big deal! The winner of the Chili Cook-Off
gets incredible awards and prizes (…okay, fairly nice awards and prizes) but
more importantly, the winner gets the prestige of being the 2013 Chili Cook-Off
Winner. (Man, does that ever look
impressive on a resume!)
It’s
happening this Sunday, November 17th.
I’m
looking forward to seeing you!
Love
and blessings,
Dan
