A resent quote I happened upon: Our greatest victories are won upon our knees.
We must alter our lives in otder to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and to pray another.. Julo Tvibal. I thought I might pass it on.
Well Well , where do I start. When one has this much to say it is hard to know where to start..
But, I will try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Linda Harvery and I (Connie Stone) baptised Angie and Cassie Hamn Sunday night. It was quite and lovely. I had never baptised anyone before. I was hit by the Holy Spirit and may have been moved as much as they were. Linda Harvey had been minstering to Cassie for about 2 months. Cassie had expressed that this was something she felt she needed to do. It was beautiful , to have Mother and daughter entering into a new life together, again. For they had entered together when Cassie was born and have walked together, but know they walk together with Jesus. How special. Thank You for including me.
Speaking of the Sunday night class: It was a good one. We listened and watched a video explaining how we are connected with Israel. It has some in depth information . I along with about 8 others were blessed . I must admit I can not remember the name of the speaker , but never the less he was excelent. I walked away with a deeper understanding of the blood line that I am apart of. We will have another video , along the same lines next Sunday. Come and learn something new or resresh your memory. FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHERS.
The VBS check and food were delivered to Joseph's Locker. I am certain that the newspaper will have a photo of the whole thing and I will let you know about that. I have been told it will be
a photo opt with Ms. Johnnie and maybe even Bob. We will see. Details to come......
I recieved an e-mail from Randa today: Saying that She and Chad will not be here next Sunday. A well desirved vacation. She will set the sound board up on Wed. night. Who ever is at pratice, she can set their mics. Who ever is not ....... Well (can you hear me now) maybe what they are saying.
I think Margie and Jackie are going too. That means: there is no back up for the board.. Can anybody say >>> VOLUNTEER WITH SOUND EXPERIENCE
There are details about Cara's wedding. It will be at Gateway Church, Sat. the 26 of July.
Andra and Mark will host the reception at their home, down the street from Grandmother , Sherri Taylor. Andra and Mark have a lovely log home and the reception will be out by the pool. Take my word for it , it will be lovely. Don't miss this one. Cara and Josh have a beautiful baby girl and they are going to be wonderful christian parents. We all ( Gateway Members ) need to support them, as they aline themselves with the will of God. Good for you Cara and Josh.
Details will be in the bullent Sunday.
Water Olympics: The date has changed. It is now in August. There is time for the detail to be made clear, but the time is nNOW to become a volunteer. Support these kidos. Linda and Joe are making leaps and bounds in the childrens church.
With a side note in that area : Ms. Johnnie and La Donna had 15 Wed. night. This area is growing too. Your help is soooooo needed. Come and be apart of the Growing of a Church. The kids are excited. If we are to led the children to CHRIST!!! WE HAVE TO SHOW UP.
JoAnne King, well let me tell you.> She has peaked our interest, in what is really going on with Kate and Lindy. Sunday we will find out. These are the days of our church. HAHAHA
JoAnne has written these dramas (comedy) especially for Gateway Community Church .
This is another example of the ministries that are living in our church. I used the word living, because they (we, the body of Christ) are alive. JoAnne is a very talented writer. She is addressing current issues and giving examples of confronting these issues, head on and from a christian point of view. Stay tuned Kate and Lindy will e making another apearence SUNDAY.
These types of things : dramas, concerts and youth events: make Gateway stand out in our community. It is our responsibility to guide people to the absolute truth. These are tools that encourage people to be apart of our church ( Christ Church) . We are a part of something bigger than ourselves . Be the solution, be a lamp, show them the way.
Ohhhh I almost forgot. We left the water in the bapstry: Yes on purpose. Maybe if someone is driving by and says "Oh the Holy Spirit is telling me to get Baptised" We will be ready> For drive by baptisms, if you will. Or If there are any of you reading this that fills the need or maybe you would like to redeciate your life or I don't know just want to be dunked. We are ready.
OKEY DOKEY THEN ; Let me know: any of the various ways, what is
Happening, Coming or Going
..... GET INVOLVED....INFORMATION PARTNERS...CONNECT THE VINE.....
