Sunday nights are about to begin hopping around here!

Last night the elders and myself met with our perspective Youth Pastor and his wife.  Glad to announce that Sunday after next (October 19) he'll be kicking off his first Sunday evening worship experience for youth.  You'll get a chance to meet this couple Sunday morning.  I'm really excited about seeing how God uses them to transform lives.

This Sunday night we'll kick off our weight loss program.  Weigh ins will begin at 4:45.  Who will be the biggest loser?  I'm predicting Dean Herman.  I've lost 30 pounds but I want to lose 30 more.  The idea of having to weigh in before all the church family jacks me up.  You talk about accountability.  Anyway, after we all weigh in (men & women will weigh in separately) we have a health expert (Dr. Ryan Calhoun) who will share with us why we need to shed some pounds. 

At 6:00 the weight program will be done and the marriage and finance classes will begin.  Ann Durham is just as excited about getting started with the finance class as I am about helping marriages.  You've heard me say it a million times, "Satan's number one attack today is on Christian homes."  As we fight back, pray with me that marriages will become healthier.

This Saturday is our annual lake baptism/fellowship.  The weather is going to be beautiful, food will be awesome but most importantly, over 20 people are being baptized.  I never get over seeing lives changed because of Jesus.
