Greetings ~

I trust everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was very nice. My whole family (minus one) were together for the first time in many years.
One of the many things I am thankful for is you. Our team is such a blessing to so many people... what an encouragement!

Please pray over the following songs:

Everlasting God
My Savior, My God
More Than Worthy
Sing, Sing, Sing (New Song)
Here
What Child is This? (Communion)
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

These are all great songs, so I'm excited to see what God is going to do.
Have a great week while looking up!
Be Blessed,
Matt

Greetings Team ~

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving banquet last night! Thanks to Vicki for all her hard work on that. Speaking of food... I'd like to have a Christmas potluck for the team in December. My month is already full, but I do have Sunday evening the 20th free. I think we will just have it in the Wherehouse at church. That building will be all decked-out, so it will have a Christmas feel.

Please remember that we will be having practice on Wed. 12/9 at 6pm due to N.I.B.

Please continue to pray for our church leadership as they deal with difficult issues. Pray that they will be filled with God's grace, mercy, patience, and love. Also, that they will strive for unity of purpose.
Pray also over these songs:

Love the Lord
Forever
You Are Holy
One Small Child
It is You
O, My King
More Precious Than Silver

Scripture - Col 1:15-20

May you all have a blessed Thanksgiving, however you choose to celebrate it! Remember to thank God for his many blessings.

Be Thankful,
Matt

Early this week to make up for last week!

Meet With Me
Blessed Be Your Name
I Am Free
Rescue (New song)
Something Heavenly
Healing Grace
The Old Rugged Cross

Scripture - James 1:12-18

This is the last week of Life's Healing Choices, so I thought these songs were appropriate. Man this series went by quick! I hope you all have gotten as much out of it as I have.

Have you signed up for the Thanksgiving dinner yet? I hope to see you all there!
If you have Wednesday off, enjoy & have a great week!
Be Blessed,
Matt

P.S. Happy birthday mom!

Found Songs

Guess what?
I grabbed a list of this weeks songs from the church, so I'll go ahead and post them even though I doubt anyone will check this late in the week.

My Savior Lives
All Because of Jesus
It is Well With My Soul
Your Name
Surrender
Shout to the Lord

Scripture - Ex 3:13-15

Thanks for your patience!

Greetings!

Oops, apparently I gave my original copy of this weeks songs to Jan, so I have no idea what we are doing. So, please pray over whatever they might be and the following:

Church leadership / direction
Night in Bethlehem
Matthew - 30th birthday
Jan & Steve - travel
A little 10 year old girl named Rebecca - cancer

Have a great week!
Be Blessed,
Matt

Thanks for Giving

Hey Team ~

Thank you so much for the gift you gave me for Pastor's Appreciation! I got to stay in a super sweet suite in Medford, and the Music Man was fantastic!
I am truly humbled by your generosity to me. I pray for each of you, and am thankful for what all of you bring to the team.
We have had a couple of awesome weeks where the Spirit is moving, but I want to make sure that we don't get too comfortable and lose our focus (our goal). I believe our goal is to lead people into a supernatural encounter with God. An encounter that will stretch them, grow them, encourage them, and bless them. Our goal is to achieve this EVERY week. It's a huge task, but God is faithful, and so very good to us!
Thanks again for all you do... you bless me more than you'll ever know!

~Matt
