"What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked that
question to two brothers, James and John as they approached
Jesus with a major request. How do we answer that question?
What do we want Jesus to do for us? Come this Sunday and
let's look at what life lessons can be shared as we live as
disciples.
The Retreat is this weekend! Saturday noon to Sunday
afternoon concluding with a fish fry by Jerrell, Roy and
Friends! Please bring a dish to share and don't miss out on
this big event! Football games for all ages, fishing,
paddleboat races, playgrounds, relaxing, camping, lakeside
communion on Sunday morning, and good ole' fashioned
fellowship! Go to www.Pinelakecamp.com for directions from
your house! It is a camp that the Mennonites share with us
every year! Sponsored by the CMF.
November 11th SHINE ON Celebration: All Church members are
encouraged to attend this special evening of music for
missions with Theresa Andersson as well as an art auction
by Rachel Busler Misenar and Friends. Tommy is opening up
that evening and doors open at 7:30pm in the MSU Riley
Performing Arts Center Grand Opera House Theatre! I am
grateful to Penny Kemp for helping get this event there!
Buy tickets ($30) and support our project to build a home
for Christie and Kevin Roberts in Clarkdale! THANKS.
Selah.
