A FEW WORDS FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011
I WAS EXCITED!
I AM STILL EXCITED!
By Pastor Richard
We were given the green light to begin worshipping at our new church campus on Friday, May 27, 2011. Then we started calling to get the word out. I was excited as we moved in to our new church campus on Sunday, May 29, 2011. In the future, each Memorial Day weekend we will have an additional remembrance in that we occupied our new church campus that weekend. I am still excited.
And this week I have been calling, texting and sending notes and emails to many of your friends in God’s family about our new location. Our church Facebook page also has a number of pictures posted there.
Our men’s conference for 2012 is April 13-15, 2012 at Forest Home Conference Center. I want to make sure there is a place for you men so we must plan early. A $50 deposit is needed to reserve your spot. See me or Ed Faranda for details.
We will be having a special send-off for Sammy Becerra next Sunday morning. He leaves for Operation Barnabas that evening. His financial support has been raised but there are numerous items that he still needs to obtain. Contact Sammy or the family for more info.
I was asked recently to serve with a team of pastors/missionaries here in the Southern California/Arizona area who examine men in preparation for licensure/ordination for ministry. I said yes.
The latest issue of FGBC World and also Our Daily Bread is at the Information Center today for you to pick up your copy.
Some of the snapshots that were taken on our FIRST SUNDAY are posted at our church website plus also on our church Facebook page.
And do you remember what person from the pages of Scripture that I spoke on our First Sunday?
I want to admit here that the typo on the screens was mine and no one else’s. I AM EXCITED (LOL)!
God’s best to you,
Pastor Richard
