A Good, Better, Best Weekend

What a great weekend! - This past Saturday we had an outstanding turnout for our first Men's Steak Night. It was a great time! 40 men attended and we were ministered to by Dr. Ralph Rice of Good, Better, Best Ministries.

The most impressive part of the evening was the teamwork. Men from within the church and without participated in the setup, the cooking, and the cleanup. I won't mention any names, because I am apt to forget one and then cause offense, but I am in the process of writing each man personally to thank them. Also, we will visit some of our guests in the weeks to come to say thanks and follow up.

Dr. Rice also spoke to the church on Sunday, for both the morning and evening service. Both events were well received, but I think Sunday evening was the best. He, and his wife Maryana, took us through a message on elevator words, words that can be used to lift up or lower others. It was a special evening.

I would like to say that things will now slow down, however with the holidays approaching that is not the case. Please pray for the church as it approaches the Thanksgiving - New Year's stretch. Also pray for the elders as we further plan our first attempt a small groups. We will start sometime in January and participate in the Truth Project.
