On the Mark...!

The moments before a race can be the most exciting. When I ran on the track team in high school, I can remember the moments before the race. Everyone lined up on the start line, preparing for the gun. Heart pounding, blood flowing anticipation of what is coming. That is sort of the way our ministry feels right now. We are slowly making the transition into summer and with that comes a lot of activities for the church. Family picnics & BBQs, school holiday, Christmas and church camping trips. I am so excited about the potential that our church has for reaching into the community this summer and can't wait to see what the Lord does through all of the people in our church. We are also beginning "40 Days of Purpose" in the month of November. Thank you to the Community Wesleyan Church in Baldwinsville NY for the materials for this. Remember the Landsdale Community Wesleyan Methodist Church in your prayers as we get ready to "take off" on this summer run. (There is a link to our church web page on the sidebar if you wish to keep up on what is happening)

Last Thursday we loaded the car up with the tent, blankets, cooler and the kids and headed two hours south to check out the caravan park where we are taking our church this year for our summer camp. Not only did we want to check out the park, we wanted to get an idea of what there is to do in the area so that we can plan family activities that we can do together. We had a great time as a pastoral team and are very excited about the camp over New Years long weekend. Dawson and Makayla had an awesome time camping and they definitely enjoy sleeping in a tent more than their father.

Sunday evening, we finished up our "wonders of the world" series. We looked at several different wonders, like... "I wonder... where did we come from, what are we here for, what happens when we die, what is the difference between heaven and hell, does Satan really exist, do angels exist, do miracles happen?" It was a good series and it brought up a lot of questions and sparked some great conversation between me and others, and also between others and themselves. Keep praying for the few that still have unanswered "wonders".

Keep looking here for pictures of all of the church activities coming up. God is preparing for something great, lets keep our hearts and minds open to His plan. Ready, set, GO!
