Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night – that means you get an extra hour of sleep and therefore have one more piece of evidence that God loves you.
For those of you on Fall Break at UGA this weekend – the rest of us hope you enjoy the break, get some rest and leave people wanting more of Jesus because your life serves as a magnet to him.
If you’re in town on Sunday, you’re going to love what we’re doing this week – the band’s playing a stripped-down acoustic set (including songs like Come Thou Fount, Blessed Assurance, The Power of the Cross, and Mighty to Save), we’re going to lay out an opportunity this Christmas season that I believe will take our church to new heights of love and generosity, and we’ll talk about ‘living the dream‘ from the story of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament.
Oh, and if you’re going to go to all the trouble to come out and be part of the gathering on Sunday, you might as well bring someone with you who’s not part of our church.
Some quick hits:
- Thanks so much for your financial generosity – this is the toughest economic climate our church has ever faced and you’ve covered over 90% of our current year budget! I can’t encourage you enough to keep up the good work.
- If you’re a bit behind on your regular giving this year, we’d love to have you catch up this Sunday and next Sunday. We have some large one-time expenses that are due (such as the annual tax assessment on the property we own) and need to bring in $10,369 which is about $2,000 more than we normally average over two weeks.
- We’re giving men permission to be men – this Wednesday night at my place from 7-9pm.
- We’re hosting a hayride next Sunday, November 8 at Bill and Joanne Bath’s house beginning at 4:30. Check out the blog next week for more details – today, all you need is to have the date locked in on your calendar.
- Our next community lunch is Sunday, November 15 after our worship gathering. More details coming soon.
