7 June 2009 - wrapup

The day really began at 3:30, as the New Hope "away team" headed out for Big Creek Ky for a week on mission. Big Creek Missions is doing a great job bringing the love of Jesus to the people of Appalachia. Led by our youth/admin pastor Doug Fannon, they'll be busy working repairing homes and leading children in summer programs the staff of Big Creek work hard to create. We'll be praying for them -join us.

With a large group away, it was easy to think that we'd be "down" today. First week after school's out too. But God blessed us with a good crowd of people and several visitors.

Today was also "Barefoot Sunday" where a bunch of us left our shoes behind as an offering. I think there was about 100 pairs of shoes all totaled.

I continued the mini-series "Eyes Wide Open" and this week we took a look at our identity in Christ. I was praying all week that someone might finally grasp what God sees in us as a result of the Scriptures. I hope someone walked away with the Truth.
