Don’t forget to pray for Open House Sunday, on October 4!  This week we are going out every day at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm to hand out invitations door to door (with exception of Wednesday–it will be at 12:30 pm).  Pray that the Lord will give us a great turnout and a great harvest season!

I encourage you to check out Chad and Linda Phillips missionary vidoe at phillips4cambodia.com.  It is a youtube fed video, so you will need to be able to play video to see it.  But what a blessing!  We are praying for you, Chad and Linda!

What a great day we had a church yesterday! I praise the Lord for the spirit of our church members–each person excited about seeing souls saved and lives changed this fall. 

The Bible says in Proverbs 11:30, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life: and he that winneth souls is wise.”  Winning souls to Christ is about sharing the Gospel message from the Word of God.  I am looking forward to sharing the Gospel of Christ with more people this fall than ever before.  I am also looking forward to great things this fall for our church family as “the Lord adds to the church daily….”

God bless you and I hope you have a great Monday!  Don’t forget to pray for Tony for a job, and for JD, Pam, and Doti who are all sick, and for Greg’s cancer and Pete’s knee.

Monday night, September 7, 2009, Noma Thingstad went to be with the Lord. She fought a brave battle with double pneumonia and congestive heart failure. At the end of that battle, she had been ravaged by the sickness and the treatments for the sickness. She was only a shell of who she was before. But that is not the way we will remember her. We will take great delight in remembering the days of strength that she had and her spunk and spirit. At the end death robs us of our life on earth, but cannot take away our life in heaven. Noma was a child of God and nothing can take that away. She will be loved and remembered for many years–not as she died, but as she lived.
