Greetings,

Wow! That group from Cal Baptist was really awesome. They are so talented. God really used them to uplift and encourage. I'm so glad we were able to host them again this year. What did you think of that song, "Child of God"? Pretty cool.
Anyway, I want to thank all the team members who provided food on Sat. and/or Sunday. It was really good, and the group was very thankful.
How about that Nooma video? It was really good too. I got lots of positive comments about it. I hope it will encourage all of us to be more generous.

So, this week we will have Gil speaking. It's always interesting to see what he shares. He often has a unique perspective. We will also have a guest guitar player. Matthew is going camping this weekend, so Bradley Peterson has agreed to step in again. Last time he played it was a great experience, so I'm certain it will be again. He is also going to help us introduce a new song called "Your Love is Extravagant". Casting Crowns did it on their first CD. Bradley played it last Wednesday night (you guys are really missing out on those Wed. night meetings)and it was great.
Please pray over the these songs & the serevices this week:

All Who Are Thirsty
You Are Holy
Your Grace is Enough
Your Love is Extravagant
Amazed
This is My Desire
Something Heavenly

Scripture ~ Psalm 36:5-10

Please, also continue to pray for Julie's recovery (thanks also to those of you who have provided meals for them).
For Dawn's upcoming trip to Canada (and health issues)
Lora & Lexie
Jim's mom & Vicki's niece
Heather's mom
Russ & Liz and the church leadership

If I've forgotten anyone please forgive me, and let me know.
Have an awesome week!
Be Blessed,
Matt
