Neighborhood Reach
by Pastor Mike Winfree on May 1, 2019Dear Church,
Wow! That is the word that describes the last couple of weeks. Our music ministry knocked it out of the park with their Easter celebration. Thanks to Michelle for a job well done. Then, Easter weekend, starting with the Egg Hunt. God provided the weather, you provided the eggs, and Debbie provided a great Easter story. Thanks Debbie. We had great attendance for the Sunrise Service and many joined us for breakfast. Then, I had the privilege to baptize three and two more were saved that week. We had over 200 in attendance for worship including our children’s church. That is the first time since I’ve been here. That shows us we have the potential. Thanks Church!
Well, what we have been anticipating for a while now is about to happen, Neighborhood Reach. Thanks to all of you who said yes to reaching out to the community. It’s not to late to say yes. We can use all the help we can get for this outreach effort.
On May 18, we will have a cook-out for the neighborhood we reached out to. We need everyone to come that day, rain or shine, to meet our neighbors and eat a grilled hamburger and/or hotdog. We also need those who can come at 9:30am to help setup and stay after and help clean up.
Be praying much that God will go with us as we reach out to our neighbors. We are to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Serving the Savior,
Pastor Mike
