Pastor's Notes

Keep Pastor Roof and Mike Pelletier in prayer as they will be ministering in Haiti this week. They will leave on Tuesday.  As I talked with Pastor Roof this past week, he mentioned that one of the men that might be flying him in, is another pastor friend of ours, Pastor Dave Crispell.  Pastor Crispell has an itinerant ministry and owns his own plane that he is now using with Operation Renewed Hope.  These Three men will be preaching to the town of Jacmel during the week of Mardi Gras.  Please keep these men and their families in prayer as they serve God in preaching the Gospel.

Are you getting excited?  Coming in March, we will have a mid-week luncheon for the Keen Agers in our church.  This is a new ministry that is starting under the leadership of Pastor Bossley.  For those of you who are 50 years of age or older, please see him and let him know of the best couple of dates for you in March.  This group will have two purposes.  First, to be an encouragement to you as you live for Christ.  Second, to be evangelistic in showing the need of a Savior to those you bring with you.  I hope that you will come and join in on this group.  (Sorry, but I am too young to attend, unless I am asked to speak or play the trumpet.)  There will be luncheons and excursions for this group on a regular basis.

It was not until Thursday that I realized that Sunday was Valentine's Day, and by that time, the messages for Sunday were to close to being finished to change to a message on love, either of God's love for us, or our love for one another.  However, I do praise God for my wife, whom I love greatly, and her labor with me in the ministry.  She grows more special to me each and every day, and is a faithful help meet from God.  I cannot believe that in December we will celebrate 10 years of married life together.  God has been so good to us.  I cannot begin to imagine where I would be if God had not brought us together in His perfect plan and time.
