About Sunday

Hello everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed bowhunting in Illinois for the past two weeks. I must have seen 150 deer, but none that I took with my bow. I was looking for a special buck and he never came within range. I had a great time however, and now I am excited to be back in full swing at MVC! Yesterday was an awesome day of worship...

1. At least 5 people made the decision to become Christ followers. That always thrills my soul!!!
2. Isn't it true that many of us live a life where we believe God is to be our servant and make us happy instead of a life where we are to serve and glorify Him?
3. It's amazing how God wants to bless us with treasures, promises, joy, peace, strength, and innumerable blessings, yet instead of pursuing His blessings we pursue the temporary things of this world believing they will make us happy... Go figure...
4. Next week we are going to tackle the lie that says, "It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are sincere." Can't wait for that one...
5. Thanks to all of you for your generous support of Operation Christmas Child. Approximately 20% more boxes were given this year than last year. That's awesome!!!
6. I was overwhelmed by the surprise video and presentation at the end of the service. It's hard to believe that yesterday was my tenth year anniversary as your senior pastor. I am the most blessed. You have all shown me and my family much love and we look forward to what God is going to do in the next ten years.
7. My prayer is that all of you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!!! Spend time with your family and friends. Eat turkey and ham. And watch some football. But don't neglect to give thanks to God for His tremendous blessings!!!! I love you all - Happy Thanksgiving.
8. We spoke of an annual business meeting to be held Dec. 12, 2010. At this meeting, we will be presenting an updated constitution.
