Agape Newsletter Part 1 - August 10, 2009. Welcome pastor Viorel!
Hello everybody, and welcome in to a few new people that I added to our newsletter list. If you don’t want to get this newsletter, the 5 time winner of the Felix Morton Church newsletter of the year (The Heisman Trophy of church newsletters), please let me know, and I will remove your email address from our distribution list. I usually only write once a week - sometimes twice, and sometimes not even once…like last week.
First and foremost, I need to let you know that we have a change of plans for this Wednesday night. I announced Sunday that we would be discussing predestination on a deeper level Wednesday night, but now we are going to put those plans on hold for one week, due to a surprisingly unexpected visit from Viorel Cruceru, the pastor of our sister church in Romania. Not Romania, Alabama, but Romania, Romania (as in the country in eastern Europe). I have never met pastor Viorel before, but I do get to grab some lunch with him tomorrow, and I am told that it was great the last time he came and spoke at Agape. If you aren’t a regular on Wednesday nights, allow me to encourage you to change your plans and come out and hear from our sister church. If you are a regular, then I hope to see you there as well. Also - we will be taking a love offering that Wednesday night for pastor Viorel and our sister church in Romania.
Some other announcements: (more details to come in newsletter part 2, due out this Friday)
Saturday August 29th - mark your calendars now, because we are having a church beautification day. Women’s bathrooms - prepare to be cleaned up, fixed up, and made beautiful!!!! We start at 8:30am, so please make plans to come and join us!
Sunday August 30th - we will be having an evening swim party/food gathering and hang out time at the Woodhaven clubhouse in Pinson. The action starts at 7:30 - bring your tennis rackets, your swim suit, and some sort of snack food/desert/drink. Food sign up sheets and more details to come soon.
Prayer Requests:
Please pray for Benny Cusimano, Greg’s brother. He had chest pains today, and will be having an arteriogram tomorrow morning.
Please also continue to pray for baby Sadie Hall, my niece, and the newborn daughter of Janet’s brother Stephen and his wife Kelly. After 26 days in the NICU, Sadie is finally home, and was even able to go to church with her family this Sunday! She is still bleeding occassionally, but she is doing better. Please pray for her full physical healing!!
Please also remember brother Paul Marshall, as his blood pressure has been very low lately, and his wife Ruth.
Finally, remember to pray for Jamey Benton, Logan’s older sister and Terry and Dianne Benton’s daughter. She is serving in Honduras as a missionary beginning this week. Please pray for the whole Benton family, as I am sure that they are lonely for her!
Grace and Peace to you, and I look forward to seeing you Wednesday and/or Sunday!
