The Highlight this week had to be "Mamma Ruth's" Visit to our church. (in my opinion) She shared with the church what God has been doing in Burkina and the joy of working for the Lord. There were several people who came to hear Ruth speak and I am hopeful that as a church body we will unite in our work in West Africa. The hope is to have a West African meeting in the coming weeks. Probably the second week of October on a Sunday evening. That date isn't set in stone, but I'll keep the blog updated for those of you that might be interested in doing a future West Africa mission trip.
Also Sunday Night we started our new Women/Men Bible study programs. They are participating in a bible studies: Bad Girls of the Bible and Men's Fraternity. Both studies seem very interesting and will equip our church family to grow deeper in their discipleship. Now starting these Sunday night opportunities allows women and men to be involved on Sunday nights or Wednesday nights for study.
In the youth we are enjoying having middle school and high school message time separate. I'm sure you can imagine how beneficial this is coming from the youth group yourselves. God continues to bring more youth that are seeking truth and love. Please pray for this group as we are about to bring in a new leader. Pray they will be adaptable and receptive to what God is bringing through him. It will be an exciting time as we go under new leadership in the youth area.
Also Youth related - Next Wednesday is See You At The Pole, to challenge students to pray at their schools flag pole. I wonder if you would be interested in doing this on your college campus? Would you be willing to gather with a group and embark in prayer time next Wednesday? If you decide to I would love for you to comment and tell us how it went! God truly does call us to be Not Ashamed of our Christian life and this means at school and all over the world!
Now I just feel that I'm rambling. So I will sign off for today! I am praying for all of you and would love to hear how school is going and God is moving in your lives!
Many prayers and blessings - Dawn Prather
