In June 2008 we held our first annual golf fellowship. Though all had a good time, the temperature was over 90 degrees, which robbed us of some of the enjoyment. Figuring we would avoid another 90+ day we decided to move the tournament up this year. With the calendar quickly getting booked we squeezed it in this past Saturday, April 25th. Surely in April we would not have to worry about a 90-degree day. It is times like these that I am convinced God has a sense of humor. The temperature this past Saturday - 91 degrees. Now as one of our men pointed out, “but preacher it is not as humid”. I love when people say that. When you are over 300lbs., hot is hot humid or not. Anyway we did have another good day of fellowship and once again the trophy eluded my teams hands. Hey there is always next year; maybe we will have it January. Does it hit 90 in January? Congratulations to Eddie, Michael, Ron, and Randy for their eight under score and for taking home the trophy once again this year. You can view the pictures here

Wonderful Day

As the sun rose in the background, we gathered outside for our annual sunrise service. Though a little chilly, it was a great service. From there it was off to the mixing bowl as I mixed pancake batter for the traditional Easter breakfast cooked and served by the men of the church. That was followed by a time of fellowship and then a wonderful Easter service. As the challenge was given to "take up your cross" the pews quickly emptied and the altar filled as one by one the congregation came to the front picked up their cross and knelt at the altar. Praise God for the service and we pray that all will follow through with the commitments that were made. Listen to today's sermon or any other sermon here.

Easter Card to David Spears

Our youth wanted to send a video card to David Spears who is serving our country over seas. David we miss you, love you, and are praying for you.

Busy Weekend

Been a busy weekend preparing for one of the biggest days in the church calendar. It should not be that way, but this is the only day we get a shot at some of those "Chreasters". We have a sunrise service planned followed by the men cooking breakfast for the church. Then it is off to Sunday School and then Worship hour. As always I have a little surprise for the church in our Easter sermon. I want my congregation to leave with more than just a "traditional" Easter message. I want to bring the story to life. I have prayed and I believe God has given me the answer in a message I have titled "Is there more to the Easter story". I guess you will have to visit the church site to hear the answer. I pray you each have a blessed Easter service.
