Sunday was a great day for this congregation. If you missed last night, you missed a historic event for this church. Mike McGee was appointed as an elder of this church with 98% of the congregations approval! This is one of the highest percentages you will ever hear. He joins a short list of great men to serve this congregation since its beginning. Add to that, we are getting a godly elders wife who supports him in this work.
Yesterday we also had another "crop" of visitors from our area. The Coffee Connection was packed out and one commented to me how friendly this church was to him. He had sat outside while he waited for his family to arrive and was greeted by several of you. This is the kind of thing the leaders love to hear!
Speaking of visitors, our Friends Day is in two weeks! It is almost redundant to ask many of you to invite your friends and family for this day since many of you are doing this each week (as evidence of the guests we have been having). But we want to fill the building. There will be dinner on the grounds, in which the church will supply the meat. Start inviting people today.
Before that happens the church will have a family night at Vero Bowl. We have done this before and it has been a huge success. It is a time for our church family to come out and enjoy being together. Whether you like to bowl or not you should come out and enjoy the company. I have seen some of you bowl and it is very entertaining. Seriously it should be a great night. We are reserved for 100 people. $2 shoe rentals (if you don't have bowling shoes) and $2 per game. Everything begins at 6 pm to give time for people to eat. Although, the bowling ally has really good food.
I'm sorry to say that I will not be able to make it to the bowling night. Next weekend I will be speaking for a youth conference in Orange Beach, Alabama called G.U.L.F. Joel will be handling the second part to our series on "Love & Hate". It is so nice to have capable ministers who can take over while I am away. I will be in town until Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.
Continue to check on those who normally sit around you that wasn't there Sunday. As always, let the elders or myself know if someone needs special attention.
