Greetings again ~

I missed y'all last week. I had a great weekend, and I trust you did too.
The church I attended in Redding is very similar to ours, just bigger.
I heard the new song went well, but unfortunately, Matthew is gone this week, so we won't be able to do it again. We are going to have a guest guitar player this week, Bradley Petersen, so that will be fun.
Please pray for Matthew as he is gone, pray for Bradley as he joins us, and pray over these songs:

Everyday
My Life is in You
Love the Lord
Mighty To Save
Eagle's Wings
I Will Rise
Agnus Dei
Shout To the Lord

Scripture - Psalm 108:1-6

Our fundraiser is this Sunday, May 3rd. Please bring desserts that we can sell at the auction after dinner. Please invite people to attend.

Be Blessed!
Matt

Hey Gang ~

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am taking a week off (26th). Matthew will lead, and I know you will have a great week. I'm going to visit a friend in Redding, and see how they do things at his church.
The Conference fundraiser is on Sunday, May 3rd. We are doing a tri tip dinner with potatoes, vegetable, bread, and beverage. We are also having a dessert auction after dinner. If everyone could donate a dessert to the cause, it would be much appreciated.
I'm going to ask Heather, Jim & Vicki, and Kevin & Julie to sell tickets in my absence.

It would be great if some of you could post a comment sometimes, so that I know people are reading this thing. Thanks.

Be Blessed,
Matt

Greetings Team ~

The services on Easter were such a blessing! Thanks to everyone who participated.
The next get-together is at my house on Sunday at 6 p.m. We are doing an Italian theme, and I know as always, we will have a feast to remember.

Great news! The Ugandan Orphans Choir is coming July 7th - 9th. This will be the finale to a triple-header community outreach. Booth and services in the Park on July 4th & 5th. VBS July 6th - 9th, and then, the Ugandan Choir. Please bathe these events in prayer. God is going to do great things. Also, the organizers of the choir asked for prayer because the Ugandan government is being difficult this year. They have had to cancel all performances to date, but said that they are making progress, and should be able to be with us.

Please pray over this weeks songs:

Majestic
Beautiful One
Get Down
Exalted
I Will Rise
It is You

Scripture Psalm 145:1-5

Have a great week!
Be Blessed,
Matt

Ugandan Children's Choir

Hey Folks ~

We have an opportunity to have the Ugandan Children's Choir come to our church in July. I am in contact with them now, trying to work out the details. We are hoping to have them here on July 9th which is the last day of VBS. We thought this would be a great way to end that event. Another plus, is that we can really promote them at the 4th of July booth, and at the July 5th Church in the Park event.
I am really excited about this group coming here. Please pray along with me that if it is God's will, all the details will work out.
If they come, there are 14 people that will need housing. Please pray about housing a couple of kids, or chaperones.
I will share more details as they become available. Let me know what you think...
Blessings,
Matt

Greetings Team ~

Again, it's late at night, so I need to make this quick and get some sleep.
Please pray this week as we prepare for Easter services. We always have visitors, and we want them to encounter Jesus Christ in a way they never have before.
Let's lift one another and these songs up in prayer this week:

My Redeemer Lives
You Are Holy
Jesus Messiah
I Will Rise
The Wonderful Cross
Worthy is the Lamb
God With Us
