This is my first Monday Morning Report on my new computer.  Yes, finally, I have my own computer again!  There is a new learning curve, switching from a PC, to a MAC, to a totally different system known as Windows 8.  But the transition is easier than I believed, even though I couldn't figure out how to print off an email this morning.  Oh well, it will be well worth it in the end.

As far as Sunday is concerned, it was a great day.  It was nice having the teenagers back with us this week and a full house with several visitors.  The singing was great.  Our sermon series continued on through I Peter, as we dealt a challenging subject - being holy as God is holy.  As mentioned we will never be perfect or do everything right, but we should strive for it more and more every day.  Take some time to think about your life and ask what the Lord would want you to do.  Then be as "obedient children" of the Father.  If myself, the elders, or our intercessory prayer group can pray for you or with you about some things you struggle with, don't hesitate to let us know.  Live as if you are Not Of This World!

Our Coffee Connection is severely lacking support needed to bring visitors in each week, or it is the result of it being an earlier time, either way we need your help in helping to make this an outreach tool.  On the positive side, there are some Bible studies going on right now from more than a couple of people in this church.  Pray that God will move the hearts of those studying His Word.

Coming up this week: It is the last week for our current Wednesday night studies.  We will wrap up the "13" study with one of the most interesting books in the Bible - Revelation.  The parenting class will finish their study in Lynn Center #105.  Steve Hoskins appreciates everyone who has taught this quarter.  Look for an email this week regarding upcoming new classes this next quarter for Wednesdays and Sundays.

MISSION SUNDAY is this week.  Bob Brackett challenged the church with a $65,000 goal.  Bob did an excellent job providing information about each of our works.  If you were unable to get one of these packets you can pick one up Wednesday night in the foyer.  The leadership wants each of you to pray about this and determine what you can give to help spread the Good News of Christ in other places.  Also, Louis Swakkiam will be here from India to talk about his work during Sunday morning Bible class.  This is a very impressive work, with 225 baptisms this past year.  Louis is a very humble man doing the work of Christ.  Please take the opportunity to come out and hear him.  If you need some added caffeine for 9:30 in the morning, stop by the Coffee Shop before class and get a couple of cups of coffee.  We really hope to have a good turn out.

We received word this morning from Bob Brackett that Cornelius George went in for emergency surgery this morning.  We have supported the works that Cornelius and his wife Doris have been doing for many, many years so we ask that you keep him and his family in your prayers.  We will update you as more information comes in.

That is all for now.  It's going to be a busy week.  Keep praying for those hurting in the congregation and check on those you noticed were not here yesterday.
