sfbc family,
I am really looking forward to Sunday. I love to see our church family gather together to worship, grow, and serve. This Sunday, Bob and Bonnie Parker will be a big part of our worship services.
Bob and Bonnie have played such a huge part in me, I have been "wrecked" by their commitment to Jesus, their love for missions and Africa. Needless to say their impact on our church has been significant. I feel like they are more than a visiting missionary, I think of them as part of our church family. God called us to partner (see Philippians 1) with them and we have never looked back. We have been able to build churches, a pastors home, share the gospel with unreached people, teach children, support the daily work and the list keep growing. One major thing that will happen on Sunday is we will be sharing with Bob that we will be providing a water tower for Gallenshau. AWANA kids and others have raised the funds to provide the tower. Clean water is a must and a tower, is basically a tank that collects rain water runoff from the tin roof of the church. This tower will provide clean drinking water during the dry season. During both my trips to the area, we have been asked to provide water and pray for water. Last time, we prayed on Sunday and it rained on Monday. . . God is good . . . . had to stop for just a second . . . anyway, be sure to be at church on Sunday, they will be part of both services 8:30am and 11am.
Sunday night at 6pm, Sandy Cruse will be sharing about Springhaven Domestic Violence Program in Etown. I had a small part last year in a balloon ceremony and heard a woman share her story. There is much need for ministry in this area. You will hear not only what they do but how you can help. This is part of their Mother's Day awareness emphasis. I promise God will touch your heart listening to the story of Sringhaven.
Next Sunday is Senior Sunday at South Fork. We will recognize the Senior Graduates during the 11am worship service. It is always a great time as we feature our students who are about to start a new chapter in life. We also will receive the special MFUGE offering next Sunday. There will be an offering envelope in your bulletin. This offering has always been an important opportunity to give for our student mission trip this summer. Let me make a suggestion, for years our church family has given card to graduates, many that include cash during the evening reception. But now we have large graduating classes, people just can't do that for everyone. So, give one special gift to the MFUGE offering and write in your card for the graduates, I am proud of your commitment to Christ and I gave a gift in your honor to MFUGE. You will bless many this way. Of course, you can still do both.
Saturday at 3pm is the wedding of Emily Riggs and Corey Skaggs, you are invited.
Don't forget memorial day care package items are due on Sunday, May 30th.
See you this weekend,
Bro Norm
PS - Congratulations to Caleb and Leeann Ragland on the birth of a baby boy last night, Charlie Caleb Ragland, 8lbs. 6oz, 22 inches long!
