We've
passed the mid-way point of our week and I'm just now sitting down to scratch
out a short note to you. I have to tell you, I'm still basking in the
joy of the tremendous Labor Day Lord's Day at Deer Flat. Talk about an
outstanding morning - this was one more of the many that God continues to
give us week after week. I think we're a bit spoiled, and I blame God
for it - AND I LOVE IT and ask Him to continue to bless Deer Flat with His
amazing presence.
Believe
it or not, you add much to our Sundays. You come faithfully, expecting
something great to happen, and you enter into the worship and time in the Word
with an open and hungry heart. God loves to inhabit that kind of
gathering. And so do I.
I
am the most blessed Pastor this side of Heaven! I loved meeting so many
new people and hanging out with my church family. It made for a great
day for me. Thank you for your faithfulness, for inviting friends and
neighbors, and for your heart for Jesus. You bless me!
September
is always a great month around Deer Flat. We've got a great group of
people who are being baptized on the 20th. We've got a Men's Retreat
happening at Camp Cascade during the last weekend of the month. We've
got Celebrate Recovery kicking off a brand new year next Wednesday
evening. What a great time to get connected! New Life Groups are
launching, and a new Sermon Series begins September 27th on THE NAMES OF GOD - PT. 2.
Everything
is in full swing - Children's, Student and Adult Ministries. If you're
new to Deer Flat, let me encourage you to get into the Basic's Class, which
happens the first 3 Sundays of each month at 11 am in Room 13.
Secondly, get into a Small Group, either a Sunday School Class or a Life
Group or both.
Our
College ministry continues to happen Monday evenings at 6 pm at City Pointe,
on the Boulevard, and Launch Pad happens at both Caldwell and Vallivue High
Schools. There's no shortage of entry points at Deer Flat. If you
need more information on any of these things or more, please contact us at
the Church Office.
I
can't wait to see you this Sunday!
Loving
Him and You,
Pastor
