Can't sleep!

Well another wonderful early morning for me. Guess it is because Boatfest is here. Still last minute details running through my head. I know everything is done but still just thinking.

Don't forget today is Boatfest. You can still pick up T shirts if you have not purchased one yet. Baptisms will be at 1pm sharp. If you are going to be baptized you will need to sign in at the baptism table.

If you have kids there will be moonbounces, facepainting and snow cones. Ok, even if you don't have kids come get you a snow cone.

Free burgers and dogs and some extras.

Hope you have a great day Newchurch.

Been praying for you.

Oh what a feeling!

Lots of exciting things going on here at church. I am here a little later because of Learning Center Open House. Lots of new faces trying to find their classroom and who their teachers are. We have added new classes to this school year. We even have a waiting list of children. Wow! Lindsay and Amber. Your doing great!

This is always the busiest week for me because of Boatfest. I am Just putting the finishing touches on a few things.

New space should be open in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.

I hope that each of you count your blessings everyday. God is sure good to each of us.

Keep up the great work for the Lord!!

A small section of concrete was poured Monday. It is located under the porte cache in the back. I am excited because this is where we will be serving food from for Boatfest Sunday.

We also had some sand delivered Monday for the beaches at Boatfest. It is all coming together to be another great Boatfest Sunday

Those of you who have been following our youth ministry should be updated that Adam Carter and Sonny Priest are now our Youth Pastors. They will be working together as a team in that area.

We also have a new 5th and 6th grade ministry coordinator. Her name is Carrie Oller. We are very excited about the new ministry opprotunity for young people

Hope that you enjoyed the series teaching "Encounters". We will be kicking off a new series in the next couple of weeks call "Bull's Eye"

Have a great week!!!

Late Night Saturday!

Well just thought that I would encourage each of you to be in church tomorrow. It is always a great time of fellowship when we are together. I hope that each of you has had a great weekend!

We will be putting back packs together tomorrow after third service. Hope you can join us. Lunch will be provided.

See you Sunday.

Two for Tuesday

Yep! The new parking lot is still just dirt. The rain won't go away it's still here for another day!

I am a little anxious about Boatfest coming with all this dirt and all this rain. Could make for a fun and slippery day. Hope not!

Two things that I wanted you to think about for Tuesday.

1. What is the main priority today for you?
2. Why is that your main priority?

I would love to see your comments for today!

Is God in there somewhere?

I had a great time with my wife Valarie last night doing some pre marriage stuff with another couple. I really liked having her there. It is always a joy to be able to do things with my wife because rarely do we like to do the same thing. Just thought I would share. Oh! and thanks to my older boys who watched their little bro.

Talk to you soon!

Here are a couple of pictures of the new kitchen stove and also the dining area. The floor is a polished concrete. It looks a little dusty right now but you should be able to see yourself once complete.

Hope each of you have a great day.

August is here and School is just around the corner. We just about have everything that we need to finish the back packs for Wiley Post Elementary. Our Women's ministry will have a Ladies Night Out next Thursday the 13th. They will be separating all of the supplies and getting them ready to put together on Sunday the 16th after 3rd service. If you would like to help just show up in the gym after church. We will have pizza for you to eat also.

Promotion Sunday is August 16th. Some of your kids might be going to a new class so be prepared that Sunday.

Construction is going great. Most all of the inside of the building is done. A few doorknobs and fixtures are all that is lacking. Toilets, drinking fountains and kitchen equipment have been coming in this week. If you have not taken a walk through on a Sunday Morning please do so.

I believe this week is the last week for the Encounters Series. It has really been a great series this Summer. Remember that if you missed a Sunday you can always pick up a cd at the information desk or just contact the church and we can mail you one.

Boatfest is August 30th. We still need some people to help with the races. Timing, staging and registration are areas in which help is needed.

Boatfest T-shirts should be going on sale this Sunday.

Also if you would like to be baptised during Boatfest please let me know.
