Another great day - another great attendance and offering - another great fellowship! Let me start out with the church service itself...

To begin, we were nervous with the music going in because Greg and Gail were not with us (and will no longer be with us - they are looking for a new church atmosphere and we wish them well). But the music went well, and I began a new series called, "Irresistible Evangelism: Playing the Master's Course." Using the example of golf, I will be spending this whole month talking about evangelism, and telling people about Jesus Christ. I am hoping that we will become a church that actively shares our faith with others.

We had 60 in service(!), and Candace Smith came forward to join us. Lee and Joann Thompson also are going to become members, and we are excited about all of them! Sue Avery joined us again today, and I hope that she will continue to come back. She is such a blessing, and a part of our family. I hope she will make us a priority.

This afternoon, we held a cook out and watched the Pats play Bufallo (Pats won!), and while the men watched football, the ladies did a craft and the kids played outside. It was a great day of worship and instruction and fellowship!
