Jennifer and Community Group

Jennifer is leaving the rehab today.  She and Ted were counseled by a man named, Gary, who has taken a special interest in Jennifer.  The counseling was Friday and Saturday, and they may have one more session before she goes home today.  Please pray for her and for Ted as they begin life together again.... that God will give her focus and amazing strength in her weakness and that he will give Ted wisdom and love in all his interactions with Jennifer.  Praise God he has stayed the course and loves her.
Now.... Suzanne and I are trying to get a date for us to have our last CG meeting of the year.  We need to make some decisions about next year and take praise and all things to the Lord.  Sooo how about the weekend of June 8-10th.  We could meet on that Friday night or that Sunday after church.  We also need to decide if we want to do an EAT or not.   Sooo if you could please let me know as soon as possible what works best for you or if that weekend is completely out, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.  
Thinking today....  how grateful I am for the body of Christ... living stones being built together into a spiritual hoouse to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God.    and how I miss our times of prayer together. 

No Community Group this Friday

Comunity Group

Community Group this past Friday night was great.  Suzanne shared about her mission in Africa, we had a brief but good prayer time, and the dessert was delicious.  Thanks,  Jim and Susan for hosting.

Suzanne has offered to have a "Come Bring" meal at her home for our last group meeting.  She will provide a ham, and we can fill in the rest.  She is open to hosting it on a Thursday or Friday evening, or on a Sunday after church.  We are scheduled for Friday the 18th, but Jim and I may be gone that night which is not a problem, but Suzanne is trying to hit a time when we would all be able to come. Sooooo what thinketh Thee?  Please send me a text or email with the best day and date for you all.  Thanks so much.

Community Group

Just to remind you that tomorrow night we will be meeting and Jim and Susan's home for a time of prayer, AND hopefully Suzanne will be there to tell us about her trip to Africa!!!!!!   Ya'll come!!! 

Youcef

It has been rumored that Youcef was hanged in Iran.  Suzanne sent me a news story that was sent to her with a picture,however it did not give any particular new agency as the source.  Jim checked and could not find it substantiated any other place.   I will keep you posted or please let us know if you find info on it anywhere else.  Let's continue to pray.

Suffering.... a gift

David Platt‏@plattdavid

Suffering is a gift when identification with Christ is your goal.  

Enough said.. I am convicted and blessed.  Convicted since I fight suffering... blessed because it is a gift...  and in this passage the word "granted" can also be translated "gifted". 

Philippians 1:29  For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake....
