Agape Church News: Special I Thought We Lived in Alabama, not Alaska Edition! Also: Memorial Service Report.
Hello everybody,
What a weekend this is shaping up to be! A historic snow storm appears to be on its way, and James Spann is calling for 4-8 inches of the white stuff in our neck of the woods. Will this interrupt our Sunday church plans? Almost certainly not, so that is good news! Here’s what is going on this Sunday: As normal, we begin at 10:00AM with a full breakfast, followed by worship and then the message.
David McConnell will be bringing the message, and his focus will be on God’s vision for Agape, part 2. He will be talking about God’s heart for orphans, for helping to end child slavery and trafficking, as well as share the Biblical plan for church leadership and church government. Last week’s message and this week’s message will combine to give you a clear picture of what we believe to be God’s specific direction for us as a faith family for this year. I will endeavor to make sure that these messages are posted on our website (www.Pinsonchurch.com) and that we have a written summary for you as well.
Thank you to all who helped out with the memorial for Kevin Box last night! Well over one hundred people came to the memorial, and many of our Agape families, even though they didn’t know Kevin, came out in force, provided food, served food, and blessed a family of strangers in order to proclaim the love of Jesus. It was a gut wrenching memorial, but the outpouring of love there was encouraging to the family in a great way. Thank you for sacrificing your time to serve this precious family! After the memorial last night, Tim Taylor and Lynn Fischer had the privilege of praying with, and seeing a precious woman at the funeral come into a first time relationship with Jesus, so there are things to rejoice about, even in the midst of grief!
I know it will be cold this Sunday, and that we will be a bit concerned about the weather. If there is a good, solid reason to postpone our gathering, then we will do so, and we will be watching the weather like a hawk. If it is safe to meet, however - allow me to URGE you to come join us, as this will be a very, very important and foundational Sunday for us. The vision message is hugely important, and - as well, we will be celebrating yet another baptism, as we baptize Lyndsey Turner (who gave his life to Jesus last week), and we will be dedicating his children to God!
If there is any need to make any changes for Sunday - we will email and post on our website ASAP.
All for now - I look forward to seeing you Sunday!
