The Way of the Cross
How to become a Christian
Admit that you are a sinner
“For All have sinned and come short of the glory of God”
Romans 3:23
Believe that Jesus died for your sins
“For if you confess with your mouth jesus is lord and believe
in your heart that god raised him from the dead you shall be saved”
Romans 10:9
Commit your life to him
“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put
aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross and follow me.”
Matthew 16:24
Invite Christ into your life and heart today
“For the wages of sin is death but the gift
of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ”
Romans 6:23

Daily Report
-
Day 1
The team began work and faced the rain most of the day. Regardless of the conditions, the team pressed forward by completing the build of a 20X25 deck and raising walls on the main project.
Check back for more updates as they become available.
Day 2
The team continues to battle the heat and Keith may be suffering from a mild form of heat exhaustion (keeps talking about the Gators). God continues to provide and the team continues to persevere. Living with your eyes on the cross and your mind in the word and your heart with God will translate the truth of Jesus Christ. Through example bear witness to Jesus and through example you witness God's awesome power to the lost.
Psalms 96-3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
The mission continues and the God's work is being done. See the pictures of Day 2.
Day 3
Report from Keith Shannon:
"Well we had to split up to try and do a couple other jobs. The group with the mask on went and gutted a Church that had water damage. Tomorrow they are going back and do some painting and some more clean-up. The rest are going back to the house to try and put some floor beams up on top of the first floor so he can start with the trusses. The home owners name is Pete. He is very thankful and we have had a large mission field. He has asked if we come back next year to let him know, he would like to take off work and help someone in need as well. He wants to take a picture of the group and blow it up and put it in the house to be a reminder of what people he didn't even know came and did for him and his family. We will be working with heavy beams tomorrow and on top of the first floor, keep us in your prayers."
Paul in Romans 1:11-12
11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
We all as Christians are given gifts but we all are called to give the gift of the truth about or Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Paul is speaking of not only giving the gift but also receiving the gift and the mutual joy that goes along with the Holy Spirit and encouragement through fellowship in faith.
We will continue to pray for this work and this ravaged area but we will also continue to pray for this effort in that it may facilitate the evangelism of the Gospel truth of Jesus Christ. Our prayers are with you. God bless.

Hostess Committee
September 2010
The 2009-2010 church year will come to a close and our new year will begin on September 1, 2010. I would be neglectful if I did not give thanks to the members of the Hostess Committee for allowing me to act as their Chairperson. When I agreed to attempt filling this position, Carolyn Cheshire told me that if I would take the job she would “help me in any way”. After this year, I can tell you that if Carolyn tells you she will do something, you can “take it to the bank”. I never did figure out if she was actually ON the committee, but she was right there through every event and activity. Now, that is service and love. Speaking of service and love, your new Hostess Committee looks much like last years, with the addition of Ramona Rabon. Alice McKenney, present Co-Chairperson, Pat Revel, Lorraine Parker and Michelle Poston will be returning this year along with alternates, Vi Payton and Ann Windham. Paulette, thanks for all those trips you took to Sam’s for us this year. Again, many thanks for the help, encouragement and support this year. Seek out a member of your Hostess Committee and just say “thanks” for a job well done. They will appreciate it. Homecoming will be coming up in October. Please keep Kristin and that committee in your thoughts and prayers. If you are asked to help, do it. It will truly be a blessing.
