The Time is Here


We have been praying for this week for a long time. Ever since our elders decided to make holding a multi-night Gospel Meeting as one of our 2011 goals, these days have been on our minds and hearts. We have been working for this week for some time, too. Our speaker, Eddy Craft, was contacted some time ago, and several meetings have occurred to make sure all things are ready. Advertisements were made and have been sent out, both from the office and by many of you individually. Now, the time is here. All our prayers and preparations have led to these few days. What can you do to make our meeting a success? Here are a few things: 1. Continue to pray for the meeting. Even as the meeting is underway, we need to pray. Pray for our speaker, and pray for our guests. 2. Continue to invite. You may know someone who has to work on Sunday, or who attends elsewhere, but who might be able to attend one of the weeknight sessions.

Adam Faughn
3. Attend! If we are going to have a successful meeting, we must support the meeting ourselves. Our theme for the meeting is Seeking Jesus, and each of us need to be doing that! This morning, we will have a fellowship meal after our worship and Bible class period. What a great time to continue the encouragement we are gaining from our meeting. Make sure you come to that, too, and bring your guests with you! On Wednesday, September 14, Don Morris responded to the Lords invitation. He stated that he faced several struggles and needed prayers of encouragement. We are touched by brother Dons tender heart, and I hope you are continuing to remember him in your prayers. I hope to see you at every service of our Gospel Meeting with a Bible in your hand and a friend by your side. Lets have a great meeting!

NOW THATS MOTIVATION ZIG ZIGLAR
There was this very rich Texan who threw a big Texas bash for his daughter. Now, he was a very rich Texan with tens of thousands of acres of land, thousands of cattle, hundreds of producing oil wells, a large twenty-nine room mansion with a swimming pool, and a beautiful young daughter. For this party he invited all the eligible young men he knew to meet his daughter. After the party had been going on for some time, he called everyone out to the pool for an announcement. He lined up all the young men at one end of the Olympic-sized pool, which he had filled with snakes and alligators, and said, To the first one of you who jumps into the pool and swims to the other end I will give the choice of $1 million, a thousand acres of choice land, or the hand of my daughter in marriage. No sooner were the words out of the Texans mouth when there was a splash at the far end and a streak through the pool. A young man emerged, setting what must have equaled an Olympic record. The Texan approached the young man and asked if he wanted the million dollars? The man said, No, thank you. Then asked if he wanted the thousand acres? Again the young man said, No, thank you. Well then, the Texan said, you must want the hand of my lovely daughter in marriage? No, thank you, replied the young man. Well, son, then just what is it that you do want? What I want, sir, is to know the name of the person who pushed me in the pool!

Hello everyone, It seems as though fall is upon us; bringing cooler temperatures and relaxing days. I hope you are able to enjoy the changing of the seasons. I am very excited about the Gospel meeting beginning this Sunday. I look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting. Maybe we will also have many visitors during the week. Eddy Craft is sure to be a great speaker and will bring us very beneficial messages from God's word. It is good to take just a week out of the year and put a little extra study into the Bible. Gospel meetings are a great opportunity to revitalize our Christianity and refocus our mission in this world! The youth have a devotional this Sunday night at the Rader's home. I hope to see all of our young people there! Have a great day. Thank you very much! --JD :)
