Sunday Reflections - April 28, 2016

COME AND MEET THE STOOPS

Hey Deer Flat,

I am so thrilled to have Ryan, Katy, Eli and Lilly-Pearl with us for the weekend. We introduced them a few weeks ago on the big screen, but they will be with us in person beginning this evening.

Ryan’s responsibilities will be overseeing a large age group from College age through 40, which catches all of our Young Families. He will also be doing all of the usual pastoral duties that go along with Shepherding people. He and Katy bring many wonderful pluses to the table. They will be joining us full time by mid-June.

There is a “DROP BY AND SAY HI” event for all Young Families and College age this evening in the LOBBY at Deer Flat from 6:30-8:30 pm. I hope you can take advantage of this chance to welcome them and let them meet you. They will also be with us through Sunday. I am excited about them having a chance to meet you and experience what a great flock God is building at His church. 

All of us on Staff at Deer Flat feel so fortunate to serve here. We find so much fulfillment and joy being a part of such a great congregation. We are of all people most blessed! God is doing so many great things among us and we are enjoying some of the most significant days in the history of our church. Each of you are helping make that happen. Your heart, spirit, faithfulness, generosity, encouragement and prayers all combine to make Deer Flat a true New Testament Church, where God is at work among us, transforming and growing us to be more like Jesus. THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF SUCH AN OUTSTANDING FLOCK!

We begin a NEW SERIES this Sunday. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE “GRAFTED IN”?  This is a fascinating look at God’s plan to include us in His Kingdom. I think your heart will be very touched, your mind will be very challenged, and your soul will be well fed. Get ready to be exposed to one of the greatest mysteries of the Bible.

I can’t wait to see you this Sunday. It’s a perfect time to invite a friend!

I LOVE MY CHURCH.

Pastor D

PS: There is a group of us who meet for prayer each Sunday morning before the services in Room 13. I’d like to invite you to join us any time from 8-9 am. Your prayers make a HUGE difference!
