SIX Things I want to share with Community of Hope

1. Sunday was pretty awesome.  I definitely felt God move during our worship time.  Of course, when you celebrate the name of Jesus, every chain can be broken.  I continue to be excited about Ephesians, chapter 4.  The possibilities for our church (or any church for that matter) are tremendous when we do the things we have been equipped to do.  Remember, we were given Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to equip the saints (that's you) to do works of service that build the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12).  Are you living a purposeful life and doing what you have been equipped to do?

2. This Sunday, we will celebrate the Ferguson family, and their time at Community of Hope, during a potluck following the morning service.  Please bring a main dish and a side that will feed your family plus one person.  The church will provide the drinks and dessert.  Your help is needed in the kitchen and with clean up.  Please e-mail me if you can help!

3. With Alicia's departure we find ourselves searching for a worship leader.  I do not believe this situation has caught God off-guard, and that he has someone in mind for us.  I am attempting to secure interim leader(s) until a permanent worship leader can be located.  Please pray with the Leadership Team and me for guidance and direction during this process.

4. You’re invited to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday at our next Dinner & A Movie event on February 18^th.  We’ll kick off the event at 6:30 with a “Seussical” dinner and a special showing of The Lorax.  This will be followed by our feature presentation, Horton Hears A Who at 7:00pm. Your HELP IS NEEDED on Saturday at 10:00am to distribute door hangers.  Many hands make light work.

5. In the coming days, you will receive information about our plans for Easter Sunday.  I want to challenge you to start praying, right now, about who you will be inviting.  I believe you can be 1 in 100.  How awesome would that be to celebrate the risen Lord with 99 other people?  If each of us goes out and does what we have been equipped to do, this can be accomplished. I believe in you – you can do it!

6. REMEMBER: Found people FIND people!

See you soon,

Pastor David
