Agape Newsletter: Special Radikal to the Maxx edition!

Hello everybody, and welcome in to another Agape newsletter. Did you miss us last week? We had a broken rod in the printing press, and weren’t able to send this newsletter out to you in time. Those responsible have been sacked.

This Sunday, we have a fun filled, action packed, God-centered day, and I hope you can take part! We lead off with small groups on Sunday morning, beginning at 9:45 AM. The small group that I am part of has begun a fantastic new video series on marriage that is led by Les and Leslie Parrot. We watched the intro video last week, and it was very good. I anticipate another good video this week, and a great discussion to follow. We have many other Sunday morning small groups as well, come early and check them out!

For the message this Sunday, we are going to take a one week break from our series looking at the purposes of Agape. Instead, we are going to hear a message about the radical person of Jesus, His radical demands on our life, and the radical gospel preached by Him and His disciples. In a day and age where people are angered and turned off by any who claim to have absolute truth, how should the church communicate the message of Jesus?

Sunday night, we will actually be having two events, one at 5:00pm and one at 6:00pm. Beginning at 5:00, our teenagers are hosting a worship time called “Come Together” which will feature the worship team and teenagers from Living Word Church, as well as the drama team from Solid Rock Church, and a message from our own David McConnell. Shortly after that, at 6:00pm, all are invited to the beginning of Genesis, a new small group that will be meeting at the parsonage. Genesis is a group for anybody who would like to be more involved in evangelism and discipleship at Agape, or who is a current small group leader, or wants to be a small group leader.

Finally, please continue to pray for Leeroy Turner. I visited with Leeroy today, and he is still in a lot of pain from surgery on both knees. Also pray for John McNamee, father of Lori and husband of Ginger, who is in the ICU at UAB hospital with serious issues affecting his blood.

That’s all for now - See you Sunday!

Some Wednesday night notes + This Sunday’s Super Duper Bowl gathering

Hello all,

I hope you are having a good week so far! I need to let you know about two things regarding this Wednesday:

  1. This month we are down one or two trucks from our normal group which goes downtown to pick up food for our food pantry every month. This food run is tomorrow (Wednesday), and we usually pick up food around 9:30am or 10:00am, and then bring it back to Agape to unload. Does anybody have a pick up truck or a trailer, who could be free for a couple of hours tomorrow morning to help with food pick up? If so, could you let me know ASAP, and I will contact you with directions and more details. Thanks!
  2. Also - Wednesday night, the adults will continue our series on the End Times, finishing up our study of the most evil and powerful human who will ever live - the Antichrist. Who will he be? Where will he come from? Who will ultimately defeat him? Why do Christians need to know? In addition, EPIC youth will kick off at 6:15 with a time of fellowship, followed by powerful worship and word. Also, if you have kids aged up to 6th grade, don’t forget about Kids Revive, our children’s discipleship time, which begins at 6:30pm!

One more quick note, which I will send out again on Friday: For our Super duper Bowl party which begins shortly after 5pm this Sunday with hot dogs, baked beans, and much more! The game itself kicks off around 5:30pm, and we will be displaying it on our big screen in the sanctuary. Our own evangelist, John Talley, will be sharing a brief message at half time as well. What do you need to do? I’m glad you asked! We need you to bring desserts, chips, and drinks. We’ll be inviting some folks from the community to come and watch the game with us, so be sure and bring a bit extra, ok?

See you Wednesday!
