AN OUTSTANDING AND IMPORTANT SUNDAY AWAITS YOU AT DEER FLAT
It’s already July and I am hoping you’re enjoying the summer
as much as me. If you haven’t had a chance to get away, I encourage you to make
some time before we get to the end of these amazing summer days!
Thank you for your faithfulness during these summer days.
Thank you for standing by the church financially. Thank you for your
generosity. We just couldn’t do it without you. Each of you are helping make a
difference in the lives of many people. This is what I love about the people of
Deer Flat Church.
Well, we are quickly approaching a very important vote that
will impact our future in quite a substantial way. Your participation is needed
and valued! So let me help us with a bit
of IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
#1. VOTING WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE BEGINNING TOMORROW
(FRIDAY) AT 5 PM AND CONTINUING UNTIL SUNDAY AT 3 PM. Voting will also be
available by paper ballot Sunday ALL morning so that you can vote in person.
#2. Because any “YES” vote also includes a commitment,
here are a variety of ways to commit…
1.
A financial commitment. Pledges can be made for a length of 36 months
2.
Donating something of value – a boat, vehicle,
property, stock, etc.
3.
What might you be able to sell on Craigslist? Why not sell it and donate the proceeds?
4.
Volunteer – We will need skilled labor of
various kinds. Be a part of the clean-up
crew that will prepare the building each week for Sunday services.
The load will be light if we are all committed. It will be
exciting to see what we can do together when God adds His difference-making
touch. Our time, talents and treasure, put in God’s hand can be huge. Throughout Scripture, God affirms
the few, the small, and the insignificant who live by faithfulness rather than
forcefulness . . . God is willing to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if only ten
righteous people can be found. Christ is present where two or three gather in
His Name. The widow’s mite is the largest gift. The boy with a few loaves and
fish provides food for thousands. Jesus fed five thousand but only shared the
Lord’s Supper with the Twelve and was revealed to the two in Emmaus as they
broke bread. The mustard seed, the pearl of great price, the leaven in the
loaf, the lost sheep and coin, the sparrows, and the numbered hairs on a
person’s head are all powerful signs that small can be amazingly mighty.
I can’t
wait to see you Sunday! Let’s come
expecting, praying and ready to exercise our faith.
Loving
You and Him,
Pastor D
