Important: Updated Plans for the Weekend
Hey Everyone!
Slight change of plans for the weekend...we will NOT be eating dinner at the Faulkner's on Saturday Night 5/16/2009. We decided that this weekend was full enough with the Quarterly Singles' Fellowship following the 11am service on Sunday and College kickoff party on Sunday Night, 5/17/2009 at 6:30 pm. Email me at living2serve@gmail.com for directions or if you have any questions.
Again, dinner at the Faulkner's has been postponed. The Quarterly Singles Fellowship will be Sunday 5/17 after the 11am service at the FLC as planned. The Welcome Back College Students Cookout will be Sunday Night 5/17 at my house around 6:30p.
See you then!!!

Falling Behind......again
Has it really been since February since I posted to this site?!? What happened to March? Does anyone else feel like the last few months have absolutely flown by? I mean, seriously.....Easter is this weekend!!!!
I must say, however, that these last few months have not been without their share of fun and excitement, though. God continues to bless our small gathering, now averaging 10-15 regularly in attendance. I know that to those of you looking in from the outside, 15 doesn't seem like much to sneeze at, but when you consider that when I first was approached about young adult ministry, the class I took over had 1-2 people coming maybe every other week. From there, over 3 years ago, to now having 6-8 on a low day is really something to give glory to God for.
This ministry has also been a stretching time for me as a Christian and as a leader. For the first time in a very long time, I find myself wrapped up in a ministry that fuels my soul and propels me onward into the future with open-eyed optimism at what God has in store for me and the men and women of the young adult ministry. I am constantly faced with the reality that I cannot manage this completely on my own and so looking for opportunities to connect members of the class with roles that compliment their giftedness has been both exciting and challenging (mostly because I have a difficult time handing over responsibility to others....it's a weird personal thing that I struggle with and have for quite awhile).
I wonder if instead of the obligatory weekly posting of outlines, this blog may be more useful as a tool to share my heart for ministry with the readers. Initially, my goal for this site was to provide a place to host outlines, notes, etc. for people who had to miss a lesson but wanted to stay caught up. Since then, it's really lost its focus and I'm really finding myself, even more as I type this, wondering if perhaps the purpose of this blog needs to be re-evaluated. I do think that it's helpful, but perhaps a document repository would be too weak.
Hmmm......that's something to think about. Guess I'd better let that marinade in my brain for awhile. For anyone who is actually reading this blog regularly, please accept my apologies for getting behind. Thanks for continuing to stay connected.
Until next time,
Johnny

Holy Wormhole, Batman!!! What happened to the last month?
Wow!!! I can't believe it's been a month since my last post!!! My apologies to any of you who are regulars to the blog.
The last month has been a crazy one to say the least. We premiered our study on Creation vs. Evolution, but decided to go a different route and so last week we began our study of the book of John.
We are steadily trekking through Numbers on Sunday Morning and just finished up studying Balak's request to Balaam and how God allowed Balaam's donkey to talk to him.
Outlines are now on the right side of the screen so that you can find them easily.
Sorry that this is short, but hey, at least it's something, right?
