Sunday Reflections - March 30, 2016

AND A GREAT RESURRECTION DAY WAS HAD
AT DEER FLAT…

My Dear Friends,
I have two really important things to share with you, so I’ll get right to it…

#1. WE HAD AN OUTSTANDING EASTER WEEKEND AT DEER FLAT – Between Good Friday and the end of the morning Sunday, we had over 2300 people attend events!  I think you know that I’m not a big numbers guy, but you guys OUT DID YOURSELVES inviting friends!  Saturday at the Kids Egg-stravaganza we had a HUGE turnout of children, parents and grandparents – well over 500!  I had a ball with your kids!  The musical presentation was FABULOUS! Julie and her team knocked it out of the park! The place rocked and the kids heard the story of Jesus like never before. Then, Sunday – WOW!  The Lord’s House was filled twice. Over 1400 people showed up!  And, we had

·         First Time Commitments to Christ
·         Renewed Commitments to Christ
·         Significant Spiritual Business transacted
·         A tremendous amount of prayer requests shared
·         And many new families and friends   - YEA GOD!

None of this would have been possible WITHOUT OUR AMAZING, UNBEATABLE, TREMENDOUS VOLUNTEERS!  You guys are the BEST! We have so much to thank God for.  He’s AWESOME!

#2. A CALL TO PRAY AND FAST – APRIL 4th-8th, 6-8 pm
I’m asking ALL DEER FLAT PEOPLE to commit to pray and fast next week.  We need some miracles to happen for a number of our people. The prayer requests from this past Sunday alone are heavy with impossibilities, but as I read through all of them, I found nothing that God can’t do! So, it’s simple:

·         Attend a prayer time any evening between 6-8 pm in the Sanctuary
·         Bring a friend or neighbor who needs prayer
·         One of our Staff will be there each evening facilitating our prayer time
·         If you love to pray, come and pray for those who need prayer
·         If you need a miracle, come believing and we’ll join you in prayer
·         Let’s “go without” (fast) as a way of saying, “Lord, I want to see an answer to prayer more than I want to eat, more than I want anything else.”
·         Why not bring your Life Group/Small Group for an evening as prayer support?
·         Need prayer for healing? Come and let us pray over you

Let’s believe God for breakthroughs, answers to prayer like we only read about in the Bible, and allow God’s Spirit to refresh our spirits!

I can’t wait to see you this Sunday. You already know we’ve got a great day in store. A brand new series: “Little Known Stories In The Bible.” Come expecting!

Loving You and Him,

Pastor D
