Paragraph of the Week

Dear Family and Friends,

 

“When it rains, it pours”.  In the past couple of weeks, three teenage young men came to Jesus Christ, asking forgiveness for their sin, and placing their faith the Savior.  This past week we heard of a young dad who placed his personal faith in Jesus as his Savior while the congregation was singing “Mighty to Save”.  Just before our Saturday evening congregation was getting ready to meet another man came up to me and told of how a friend of his also became a Christian recently.  And then this past Wednesday a man walked into the church wanting to meet with the pastor and I had the privilege to share the simple plan of salvation with him and he prayed to ask Jesus to forgive his sins. It is a process for all in coming to Christ (emotional, intellectual questions and issues that need to be addressed) and then one major decision of the individual’s will, “will I place my trust in Jesus to be my Savior?”

Paragraph of the Week

Dear Family and Friends,

 

For the past several months we have had a growing and enjoyable experience getting to know some of our neighbors.  One younger couple in particular, has given us the privilege of being in their home and sharing our on going relationship with the Lord.  They have been coming for several months now to church and next week we will begin to meet (just the four of us) for an every other week Bible Study.  Sandy and I are really looking forward to this continuing relationship as they have lots of great questions. We will meet in our homes, right across the street from each other.

Oh, and by the way, this coming Monday a pool (or is it billiard?) table is going to be delivered to our home.  This is a gift (can’t beat the price) coming to us from a church member’s boss.  The table is in great shape.  We will have it transferred to our home and re-felted.  Then our beginning plans are to invite the men on our street to join in for a pool tournament………this will probably occur next winter when the grass quits growing, the days get begin getting shorter again and I have time to practice.
