Tonight Pam, Jeff L, Laura, Me and my kids went to the open mic night at the Coffee Ward. It was fun, not everyone was good but a few were pretty good. This would be a great venue to share the Gospel in a dramatic scripture reading, praise song or something like that. What do you think?
Looking forward to Sunday…
Check these out in this order
- Rob Bell complaining about the bullhorn guy
- Bullhorn guy’s response
- Bullwhip guy
- Final one
- Scary one…
More later…
Listen to this “The Bullhorn Guy’s Response 2” how to share (we do don’t we?).
The link to Pagitt’s denial of Heaven or Hell as an actual “place” is here. The video for Row Row you boat by Dryer is here. These videos are one Jeff shared with me this week.
The link to Coffee Geek is where you can listen to the podcasts. It’s also a great place to buy and learn about coffee. While I’m talking about podcasts here are few I enjoy LOTE, WOTM, Walk in the Word, Bible Study Podcasts Here are some secular ones; Hardcore History, TWIT, TWIP, Mahalo Daily, (Matt says Geek Brief), Old Time Radio, Car Talk. If you like podcasts of the idea you need to get free iTunes on your computer to manage your music and video.
For the next 4 weeks we will have the Westfalls in our class. Kari Windon is teaching the little ones and Laura (7/15) , Jackie (7/22), Barb (7/29), and Pam (8/5) will help. This falls under the edification goals in our class. This was a very thoughtful idea (I think it was Kari’s) to give the Westfalls a break and give them a chance to have some donuts and us a chance to know them a little better.
Remember this week’s class will be a planning time for the Movie Night- Facing the Giants. I will post a plan for our class time. Pray and think about what we’re going to do. I hope to post the letter to our sister churches along with the ad in the Towne Crier.
Pam and I were talking last night about how things in the church seem to be just fitting together like puzzle pieces. Jackie gets a job with a paper, different planning groups come up with similar ideas for programs and Pastor’s messages are paving the way to changes in the body. The Holy Spirit works! (At least when we let Him)
Jackie and Doug are going to place an ad in the Towne Crier for the Movie and Bonfire night (to show Facing the Giants, Aug 17 6:30 PM). What a blessing, now the real work begins. Next Sunday (July 14th) we will spend the class time praying and planning for the Movie Family Night. So pray and think about what challenges we will face and what we need to overcome them.
See you Sunday…
Here’s the plan: this post will stay at the top of our blog to be a reminder of the schedule of events. The tentative date is Aug 17, 7 PM. I will check with Lancaster Fire Department about the bonfire and what permits are needed if any. Jackie will be our “scheduler” for the promotional schedule. Next week we will take volunteers for specific tasks; radio interviews, visiting our sister churches, talking to football coaches, passing out fliers or praying (which is the most important task of all).
So, stay tuned, I’ll keep you updated as best I can.
I think our movie night went over well. We learned a lot of what needs to be done better and we also learned what we can do well. Better advertising, is the major thing and I can take credit for that shortfall. We did very well with the hospitality and treats, at least everyone thought so. Maybe a good plan for next time is to plan for a gathering after the movie. Maybe a bon-fire or desserts for everyone. The bon-fire would appeal to the youth and we could do it at the church directly after the movie.
The peliminary idea iss to show the next movie a few weeks before the High School football season starts.Scheduling will bew tough, camp, vacations and such. But we must remember it’s for guests and our sister churches.
Any ideas feel free to comment or email me.
We need to make a game plan (pun intended) this Sunday for our movie night. We need to consider the following.
- Who from our class will be there?
- Who will MC?
- What kinds of treats will we have?
- Are we ready to deal with the counseling? if necessary.
What we do know:
- It’s at 7 PM
- It’s Friday April 20
- It’s going to be in the auditorium on the large screen
- It’s a great movie
- I’m gonna have a good time!
- I’ll buy the movie
- It’s for all ages and we will direct our focus towards the youth.

The Blogging Church, this book sounds interesting to me. I so much enjoy reading other Christian blogs, and to make mine better-well it’s a necessary book (for me). I will have a review of this book in the next week or two. I’m going to order it from the local Christian book store or Amazon this weekend.
I’ve another book I’m reading that you may also find interesting, it’s titled The Apostle, a Life of Paul. I will be reading a few pages from this book Sunday.
