It is never too early to start thinking about Easter Sunday. It is the #1 day for visitors. Not only that, but it is the best time to invite others to services. Many people look for a place to attend. Therefore, along with Wal-Mart and Target, I want to remind you that we are only two Sundays away. Let's fill the pews. I began work last week on that lesson, "A Place to Rise."
Speaking of visitors, we enjoyed a good number of people yesterday. Some were passing through but many were from our community or surrounding communities. I appreciate those who make them feel at home, taking them to lunch, or making sure myself, or the elders meet them.
As far as this week is concerned, let's continue to check on our sick and shut-ins. Willie Teague, Frank White, Louise Belfonte, Ola Ellis, and Jerry Cutshall come to mind. Add to that, many of our own who are struggling because their loved ones are suffering or recently passed. Be the church this week and send a card or make a phone call to someone on this list.
Wednesday night we will continue our newest men's and women's classes. We heard much positive comments from last week. A big thanks to those leading these classes. The women are discussing "Job" while the men are discussion "Samson."
For all of you golfers out there, this week will be a golf-related sermon called, "The Game of Your Life." It is a good opportunity to invite your golfing buddies to attend. Have them stop by the "19th Hole" we call Coffee Connection, before worship. You may not play the sport but there are some important principles for all of us to learn. So, don't skip out of services Sunday to play 18 holes. Put on your golfing clothes and park your cart in a pew. Arnold Palmers (sweet tea and lemonade) will be served after worship.
