Pastor's Message
Here are some things I want to remind you of and a
couple of things we need help with: The Children's Ministry Task force has put a lot of thought into this and we need the help of all parents to bring their children to be a part of this. This is one of the best children's programs that is out right now. We have done some work in the first hallway of the education wing to bring it up to standard for the program. The classes will be divided as follows: 4 year olds through kindergarten; 1st and 2nd grades; 3rd
and 4th grades; 5th and 6th grades. Each classroom will have its own logo for the age group and have material to go along with the logo for the year. We
are very proud of the Task Force for being so positive and helpful in getting this done. I know your children will benefit from this, so please make an effort to have them here beginning this Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Also, we want to thank all the Adult classes who sponsored
one of the classrooms in getting new furniture, paint and area rugs. Without your help, we could not have done
it. If you are a teacher in one of these classes, please be here to show us how you want your room set up. Thanks in advance to everyone
for your help! You catch momentum by changing something and you sustain momentum by practicing certain practices over and over in excellent ways. You cannot create momentum but you can catch it. You can keep it for longer periods of time when you understand the wave. Jesus is right. You are not the wind. You are not the Spirit. However, if you learn more about the Spirit, you have a better chance of getting in its paths and pursuing it in effective ways. We want you and your children to catch the momentum of "All Stars for Jesus." To do that you need to be a part of it and learn more about it. I challenge you to
do that. I believe the same thing is true of the people of God. As for me, I want to catch as much of God's wind as I can, as much of God's grace and Spirit as I can. It will require me to stop doing some things and start doing other things. It will require me to practice certain practices over and over to catch the Spirit. Momentum is possible in all churches and in everyone's life. Beginning this New Year, will you do everything you can to catch as much of God's wind, grace and Spirit as you can? I think you will see not
only a difference in your own life but also a difference in the life of your church. |

Dear Lord, it’s me. Things are getting bad here-- gas prices are too high, no
jobs, food and heating costs too high. I know some have taken You out of our schools, government and even Christmas (for Heaven's sake)! But Lord, I'm begging You to come back and re-bless America. We really need You.There
are more of us who want Youthan those who
don't! Thanks Lord . . . I Love You!  |

For this is what the Sovereign
Lord says: I Myself will search for my sheep and look after them. . . . I will rescue them. . . . I will bring them. . . . I will pasture them. . . . I will search for the lost and bring
back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen
the weak. Ezekiel 34:11-16
