October 23

We were blessed with incredibly pleasant weather for our first home group meeting! It was so warm we set up for the kids to eat outside and I heard someone complaining that it was, "Too hot!"  In October!  :)


I would like to send a shout-out to Dakota Brown for volunteering to spend our Bible study time with the younger kids.  The kids so enjoy spending time with him and it is a gift to those of us who are enjoying spending that time in the Bible study.  Thank you, Dakota!!!!


We all studied through the Introduction of "Surrender" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss.  Now we should be ready to launch into the first chapter and be all "studied up" for next week. :) Surrender is a concept that can bring with it a lot of different ideas and emotions, uneasiness and even fear.  As we explore more deeply the idea of totally surrendering to the Creator of the Universe, who loves us more than we love ourselves, who tells us in His Word, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.", it becomes more and more exciting!


Next week, October 23rd, let's plan to have Italian Food for lunch.


Hope to see everyone at worship, if not before!
