Missions Banquet
Hey Gang!
Our annual Project A1:8 Missions Banquet is just around the corner. Remember to get your RSVPs turned in by Sunday, November 1st. You will want to hear all that was accomplished in 2009 and the vision for 2010. We are honored to have Pastors Williams & Peruth Beshiisha of Uganda join us for the evening as well.
A free catered meal will be provided along with a “Taste of the Nations” table. Kids in grades 1 -5 are having their own missions banquet with a “flight around the world” and fun activities planned. The tiny ones will be watched over as well.
It will be a night to remember! So get your RSVPs in!! Here’s the details:
Sunday, November 8th
Registration begins 4:30pm (central time)
Church of the Heartland – Winamac
October 31st Outreach
Here we go again…. ready to give out some smiles? This weekend we will take advantage of the great opportunity of hoards of candy-crazed children coming to my doorstep! The idea comes from our very own Chrissy Kinney. One morning she felt God telling her to “go where the people are”. I love that! We are going to use my front porch which is located on Trick or Treat alley. We are going to love people, give out smiles, and of course candy. Not only that, with each piece of candy, there will be a ticket which can be redeemed for another prize if they bring it to church with them next Sunday.
I personally am not a fan of Halloween however I am a fan of loving people. If we are to show people love, we need to be where people are. I’m using this time to teach my kids to give. They will be the ones giving out the candy and invite other kids to church. They are so excited about doing this.
We are meeting at my house at 4:00pm on Saturday. We will be having some fun activities for our kids until the trick or treat time begins at 5:30pm.
Get A Word
This week has been good yet challenging week for me. Last Thursday evening at the ladies service with Linda Turner, I was reminded that I need words from God to sustain me. They are the words of TRUTH rather than my crazy emotions and mind running a muck! We are doing the sermon series “The Death Spiral” and, boy, do I feel like I’m in one. I feel like I’m about to crash and burn! This morning I had to stop….
God loves me. He has good plans for me. Successful plans for me. My part is to be obedient in the small things – that’s it. I can do this! Galatians 6:9 “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”
Linda Turner is having one more meeting tonight at our Logansport campus. Meet at the church at 4:30pm CT to carpool or if you are unable to attend, try to catch it online via videocast at www.livestream.com/churchoftheheartland at 6:00pm CT
I encourage you to hear what God is saying about your life. It’s not a big mystery or secret, He really wants to tell you.
