The week (and a half) that was

1.  Saturday was a great day to serve the community as the Manna Truck from Golden Harvest Food Bank.  Many needs were meet, conversations were shared and hope was given.  There were stories from this and other recent encounters of several people giving their lives to Christ.  Super amount of volunteers in site to love on people and help in so many ways.  See the pic to see worship leader Bekky with the wave and Mike, the Capstone Student Leader.

2.  Last week I got to hang with the family at Anna's school play.  Very funny stuff.  Got to reconnect with friends from kids schools that we've known over the years as well as a new family that has been attending Capstone.  I was reminded that no seating at an elementary school is comfortable for adults...maybe not for kids either!

3.  Been praying for GEMS and the Street Ministry they do.  Trying to get more information to the right people about the work they are doing and the needs that can be met.
4.  Japan is on the mind and heart of so many.  Pray to God to use you and others like to to minister to others with big questions during this disaster to bring light and hope to hopeless people.  God will be glorified!  Pray for hurting people in Japan.

5.  Our Cuba team returned and we are so excited to hear their stories and talk together on March 27 about what Missions means to you.  If you are in the Anderson metro area that Sunday come on down to Capstone Church.

6.  I love my home group!  We get together to eat, study God's word, pray and support each other.  It amazes me the collective experience and love we have.  Someone is always ready to give what is needed.  A word of encouragement, a few bucks, a story from their live...whatever is needed, what ever is required.  If you don't know community like this, it is time.  Grow in your faith, grow in your understanding of God's word, invest yourself in others.

7.  Caroline rocks!  She is super busy with tax season stuff, but we have been able to make some time for conversation the last few nights.

8.  CityPrayer is the bomb...had some folks walk in today.  A pastor from up the street and a handful of others that come JUST TO PRAY!!!  TH@12:15

9.  I love God.  I love His creation.  I love His church.  I love the way He loves.

10.  Stuff Coming Up:  Blood drive Sunday morning 11-1p at Capstone; Weekend to Remember in May; Christ in the Passover April 16; Men's Pancakes and Power Hour April 2.
