Wednesday thoughts…

January 30, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

Don’t normally do these until Friday but had a few things to get out there:

  • Rumor has it that all small groups are completely full…this is not true…yet. 
  • Groups are filling fast but there are still opportunities to sign-up tonight and this Sunday…as well as next Wednesday and Sunday. 
  • If you can’t find a group that meets your needs, let Dan Krull or Jodi Zeis know.  We’ve added some more groups since Sunday and we’ll probably be adding some more as people step up and commit to leading. groups@mycfcog.org
  • Had a couple of great meetings yesterday…I’m looking forward to the future direction God has us headed in.
  • Last night I called around to speak with our first-third time guests who had filled out a Connection Card this past week.  God is bringing some really awesome people into our church!
  • One man was there to support his young adult daughter who is seeking a church that is relevant to her age group.  He shared that his church is a very traditional, King James Only, style of church but that he enjoyed the Experience.  I told him that I thought it was very commendable of him to allow his daughter to not only explore other churches, but that he was there supporting her.  I think it’s a great lesson for all you parents out there to encourage your kids to grow in their faith but yet not neccisarily in the same ways that worked for you.  Well done sir!
  • Late last night I stopped by my sister’s house to help her set-up her new laptop computer and wireless router.  All was well when I left, but this morning she calls…I see her name on the Caller ID and answer, “Technical support how may I help you?”
  • Wind had knocked out her power a few times last night and things didn’t want to reset right.  It’s amazing how much harder it is to explain something over the phone than in person or just do it yourself.
  • That’s a great lesson though for all of us in ministry work though.  Yes it’s easier to do yourself, but then no one else will ever get trained and thus the eternal impact is diminished.  Also, it teaches us that we need to show someone through on-the-job training how to do something rather than just give them a book or manual and expect that that will do the trick.
  • Hey speaking of…Pam Brenize is doing a great job of getting Earl’s messages on-line now.  If you want to listen to what’s happening over in the sanctuary services, click here.
  • Tonight the inspector’s come to do our house inspection.  If everything checks out OK…we’re pretty sure they will, but with an older house you never know, then our house will officially be sold.
  • I’m looking forward to the new house in C’burg.  It’s only 1 1/2 years old but the owner moved 10 months ago so it’s like it’s even newer.  I’m not Mr. Handyman so this is right up my alley.
  • The new men’s group study is pretty awesome…if you don’t have anything else to do tonight, come check it out…that is if you’re a guy.  Ladies, I’m sure the two ladies Bible studies are just as good so give it a try.
