lifeGroup this Sunday!

Can not believe it is already May! lifeGroup meets this Sunday at Khayla and Adams home right after church! (Note new time!) They live out by the fairgrounds, so give them a call if you need directions.  They will be BBQing hamburgers and will also provide the cheese and buns, so all the other extra's are up to us people! Newt and I will bring plates, cups, silverware, drinks and condiments and a special birthday cake for an un-named old man who has a birthday on Sunday!

Please pray for Newt this week; he had to go to Olympia early this morning cause his dad is in the hospital. He has heart problems and they drained alot of fluid off his lungs. Most important, pray for his salvation and that his heart will be softened to hear and receive God's love and Newt will get an opportunity to talk to him.

Easter is Coming!

Our small group was joined by Jasper's even smaller group and it added up to a good time! Food, discussion of Pastor's message, and prayer time followed.

Pray that God continues to work through Pastor's message on Sunday for those that heard it.
Pray for healing for all the hurting people.
Pray for Easter! The message, the music and all the people that will fill the Liberty.
Praise God that Johna was able to get to her mom as she asked; and pray that her time with her mom is filled with love and comfort.
Pray for the lady Lynette is ministering to; that God would continue to break down strongholds of the enemy and He would give Lynette wisdom.
Pray for a house in Astoria for Kim and Nate.
Pray for James and Janae to get the house they are looking at!
Pray for those touched by cancer; Akiko Miller and Roxy Nelson and others.

Be sure to check out Pastor's and the other group blogs; they have prayers listed too!

No Foolin...

Can't believe that this Sunday is lifeGroup meeting! Seems like we just finished our pie at the Logger from last month! :)

So, Sunday afternoon, Langston home, 4:00. Let's keep it simple and bring whatever finger food is easy for you. We will have plates, cups, silverware, and pop and smoked salmon.

If anyone else would like to host next month, we can talk about that!

Will talk about Pastor's message this Sunday: I will be especially excited to hear about it as I have to work.

Prayer requests:
This Sundays message is about suicide. PLEASE pray for Pastor and the message and that God would bring those hurting people that need to hear this to our church. Pray for open hearts and ears for the message for all those there.

Lynette asks for prayer for a woman that God has placed in her life with a story similar to hers. She is gonna be meeting with her; lets lift both Lynette and this woman to God, asking for wisdom, healing, and a strong bond to form between them. Lynette is gonna let us know when they are meeting so we can pray hedges of protection around them!

Can't wait to see you all Sunday!

Quick Update

Soooooooooooooo..... coffee on Sunday will be Cassie and Lynette! Thanks ladies!

And... the answer to the question of the day.... Easter service at the Liberty starts at 10:30, same as a regular Sunday service. This will be easy to remember.

March lifeGroup

This week is our service week: Thursday coffee, Rick and Johna; Sunday: Lynette has volunteered to help, I will need to get someone from another group to work with her. Also, if the coffee servers can do so, it is OK to re-open after services to encourage fellowship; clean-up would be done then. This is optional, so if you can't hang around, that is OK.

Prayer requests:
Pray for Easter service
Pray for the lost
Pray for all those needing to forgive others or themselves
Pray for Pastor
Pray for church finances
Pray for the worship team and music
Pray for unspoken requests
Pray for the coast guard family whose card we signed

Please remember how powerful our prayers are! Don't ever underestimate their power in spiritual warfare!

Next meeting: April 1 (no foolin!) at the Langston home again. Time and menu to follow.

lifeGroup on Sunday!

First of all, so we don't forget, Thursday night is set aside to paint the children's ministry area! Bring your rollers and strong arms and get ready for a fun night. Also, ladies, if you are gonna be there, could you please bring some treats for the painters? Suggestions of anything chocolate were made last Sunday..... :) Newt is on call this whole week, so we won't be there that night.

Sunday is our meeting day! We will meet at our house again, at Big Creek Fish Hatchery; Newt gets off work at 4:30, so plan to come any time around 4-4:30. We figured potluck would be the easiest since we're getting a later start than normal (and he won't have time to fire up the BBQ!)
Just respond to this blog on what you can bring and if you can come. We will provide plates, cups, silverware, and crock pot meatballs.

We have lots to talk about on Sunday, but one thing we will mention now, is that the nursery is no longer the responsibility of the lifeGroups. Suzy will be taking that over again, so she is in charge of finding workers.

See you Sunday ( or Wednesday, for you Knappa people!)

Serving on Date Night

Please read and respond to this with a servants heart.... Our lifeGroup DID agree to host the Date Night Challenge and hosting means that we WILL provide and cover the child care, up to and including 5th grade. This means nursery 0-4, and probably two groups for the older kids; so we obviously need all of us (that have had background checks done) to serve. On a positive note, the program will be burned to DVD and will be shown at another time for those of us covering child care. So, we need everyone to respond to this blog or phone Newt and Carol ASAP and tell us where you can serve; we need the men to serve as ushers and greeters. Carol will be in the nursery and Newt will be greeting/usher. Thanks guys.
