Lots of stuff going on this Sunday. Of course, we’ve got another week of Cross-Training planned! This week we’ll be talking about how we knew there had to be a Cross, and why Jesus knew he had to die. Your salvation and mine hinges on the events that happened at this Cross, so you’re not going to want to miss this week!
Also, if we have time, we’re going to talk about (and see pictures!) of our adopted orphan, Oliver, that we are supporting through Compassion International. We got all his information in the mail this week, and so we can start writing him letters and sending him stuff as soon as we want. That being said, don’t forget to bring your 50 cents so we can keep raising enough to support him this month!
And finally, plan on taking a few pictures with the youth group so we can put them in the new Church directory that is coming out. We will either do this in youth, or right after church, so don’t forget to hang around long enough to get it done. Also, the Kitchen committee is doing a “Stove Fundraiser” this Sunday after church, so if you want to hang around and eat lunch with everybody downstairs, bring $7 for a ticket and meet us in the basement after church.
“To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory…For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.” – Colossians 1:27,29
Love y’all,

That’s just what you do at church, right? But if you think about it, there’s a lot of places you go where groups of people don’t just break out in singing. When you go to school, you don’t carry a hymnbook to class and then sing a couple of songs before learning about U.S. History, do you? There aren’t usually choirs serenading in the supermarket, are there? No worship leader at Walmart, right? So what’s the deal with church? Why do people meet every Sunday morning in churches all around the word and sing? What’s the big deal?
