BLOCK PARTY

This Sunday, June 24th, is our Block Party for the Letson Farms neighborhood, where we will invite the community to join us for our weekly Sunday evening worship and Bible study. Please pray for God to give us favor with the community and for the Holy Spirit to be upon our meetings powerfully.

On July 1st, our first Sunday with new folks, I will begin a series for the summer entitled:

LIVE THE JOY!
What It Really Means To Be A Follower Of Jesus

With the new job, study time is limited for me, so please pray for God to make the time I do have for prayer and study is truly anointed by God.

Please continue to pray for Tim. We are praying for God to provide him some more monthly income, and for God to provide him a permanent place to live. He will begin radiation treatments soon, which the doctors have warned could cause him some major difficulties--possibly loosing site in one eye. Please pray for God to protect and heal him fully, to preserve his eyesight, and to strengthen him as he grows in Christ.

These are blessed days. God is in our midst, and we are excited about all He is doing.

Blessings!

Week of June 18

It's been a little while since the last post, so here's a quick update. I have been working with Regions since June 1st. I'm in their leadership training program. When I come out of the program, I should be placed as an assistant branch manager or a branch manager. This is a special opportunity which we're sure was from God.

We are beginning our first outreach to the community this comming Sunday. We are having a block party for our neighborhood. Since our neighborhood is so large, we only invited two streets. We will gradually work our way through the whole community, but it is our desire to begin small and have a solid base of disciples.

Those who come to the party will be personally invited to join us the following Sunday for a twelve week Bible study entitled "What Does It Mean To Be A Follower Of Jesus". We are keeping our meeting on Sunday nights at our house for now.

Please be praying for the book. It should be in our hands in just a few weeks. I've seen the proof copy, and I think it looks great.

Thanks for all your prayers.

Blessings!
