End of a good day... various topics

Sunday Night 10:30pm...

1. Someone left a Romans 8 folder and purple water bottle at Hope. It is in the church office now.
2. This week I'll be posting some of my thoughts on Nathaniel's wonderful message today... for now let me clear up a confusing point for some of you: Nathaniel was saying that the "old" way of doing missions called for an American congregation to raise $60K per year to send and keep an American to a place like Togo. What he wants to do is get the American Christians to:
a.) pay $2600 per year to have a native Togoan plant another church
b.) come to Togo for short-term training of the Togoan pastors
3. Congregation voted to purchase the 5 acres on Parker Road tonite. Very exciting.
4. Elders had a very successful and encouraging meeting with 5 members of congregation who are considering being on the BUILDING PROJECT TEAM that would lead us. Even more exciting.
5. My Mississippi State Bulldogs are playing Stanford in Round 1. That is a fitting matchup since both schools are Ivy League-ish.
6. Interactive Lecture on how Jesus Christ is portrayed in the Passover Meal is Sunday at 6pm at Faith. I'd love to see 30+ of you come out for that. I think it will enhance your communion experience in the future.
