BIBLEMAN

Last night was phenominal! Last count was 581 attendees without any of the kids counted. It will most likely come out closer to 680-700!

Thank you BGV's for practicing with the kids on Sunday. It made a huge difference in the kids' participation as well as your stage presence. Weren't the kids on stage great? It was such a blessing to see the kids who ministered during VBS and how they have grown. The kids worked hard. Lori Nelson told me Cheyenne was singing at the top of her lungs in her bedroom, a week ago.

Big props to Rachel who coordinated the kids and finalized the motions and such. Thank you for your support and leadership!

Bibleman could not get over how loving, helpful and great our team was...from interns to staff. Everyone he spoke with was a blessing! Pastor Jeff and I are honored to lead such an amazing crew.

JAM FAMILY SERVICE: because every kid needs peanut butter and jam!

TUESDAY NIGHT PROPS!

Tonight, I had the privilege of leading worship with our team at The MFI Regional Conference. We ministered a few songs and God was so faithful to flood the place. Hands lifted, voices high and joy was in the house. Front the front row to the back, everyone was lifting the Lord up in worship.

Aaron, you have grown immensely in sensitivity to where the Holy Spirit is flowing and where the leader is directing. Thank you for your passionate pursuit of personal worship. It shows in everything you do!
Kevin, you are always a joy to have on stage. Your discipline, "real-ness" and humility is loud!
Travis, thank you for your support and leading out in the final song. Your voice has really grown clearer. You are an anchor.
Terryl, awesome job staying to the click. (-: Great connection in the song. I appreciate your purity and passion for God in private which reflects all over the place!
Rachel, you took care of your kids so you could lead with us. I appreciate you! Your attitude is one of support, humility, dissatisfaction with mundane and not "all-out surrender." You sounded good, even though you couldn't hear yourself!
Katheryn, You set aside your evening last minute to be with us. Thank you. We needed your high part! Your smile is heard in your voice. Thank you for your humility.
Zach, wonderful job leading. You lead and then melded back into the team. I appreciate your support, leading and gifting.
Justin, A big shout goes out to Justin for coming in and working the knobs to perfection for us!

I know all the props go to God! He is mighty to save, heal our diseases, fill us with joy, strengthen our hearts, cleanse our hands and so much more!

I look forward to JAM FAMILY NIGHT!

TAKE THE CAP OFF THE WELL!

This week, Pastor Jeff and I are at the Regional MFI Conference. We heard a word this morning that lept in my spirit for our team. It is a great step to the word I shared on committing our works, gifts and burdens to the Lord (Psalm 37:5, “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” Proverbs 16:3, “Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.”) This commit is the same word Jesus used on the cross in Luke 23:46, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Wow! That’s is a huge commit. He placed His utmost trust in the Lord: His ministry, His life, His future, everything. When we individually and as a team commit (roll) our gifts and lives to the Lord, He shall bring our purposes to pass.

Here’s the word that was shared today…Genesis 29:1-8, “So Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the East. And he looked and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well’s mouth. Now all the flocks would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the wells mouth, water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the well’s mouth…Verse 7 Then he said, “Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them. But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered, and they have rolled the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.”

In order for the stone to be removed from the well, the shepherds had to come together, commit to one another. When they did, they were able to remove the cap off the well and water the sheep. The water was life-giving water. This is speaking about shepherds coming together and also applies to a team. As RC Creative Worship Team commits to one another, we will be well able to cause living water to flow amongst our congregation.

Let’s have fun this year! God a fun idea the team can do together?
