This Wednesday night (1/14) we are going to start a new step of growth that will last for the next 7 weeks. One of the following is a class we are going to be teaching.
1. Making Paper Mache Ants.
This class will teach you about the God given role of ants and how to make a life size replica of this majestic creature.
2. Periodic Table Songs.
There are sixteen different tunes that we are going to learn to sing through the periodic table. We will learn the songs in 4 different languages: English, Swahili, Canadian, and German.
3. Life's Most Embarrassing Moment.
All class members will publically share their most embarrassing moment publically. We will then vote on the Most Embarrassing of them all. The winner gets a trophy and the joy of everyone else not making eye contact with them for at least a year.
4. MFMC
Who should we be? This class will lay a great foundation of a relationship with our church. We'll cover where we came from, what we believe, and where we are going.
Note: #4 is the only one we will be really doing.
Disclaimer: We have never, and will never offer classes 1 through 3.
Call: If you would like to learn more about this church, be reminded about what we are about, learn about the journey we are on, meet people who you haven't met, or build a relationship within the body. We'd love to have you join us.
Thought: For me 2009 is to include at least a couple adjustments in my ministry. One of those adjustments is to purposefully invest in spiritual growth. I would hope that we've been doing that, but I need to be deliberate about it. Other than a sermon on Sunday and class on Wednesday – how can I foster an atmosphere of growth steps with God? We're working on putting growth tools in people's hands and giving more opportunity for taking faith steps.
The "E" world is going to be a place of growth for us. Watch for new avenues of kingdom advancement through technology. For too long we have demanded growth through our tools and traditions, we will be looking at the possibility of using new avenues of growth.
The process is going to be clear. Where are you in your spiritual journey? By the end of the first quarter of the year I trust that a clear process will grow from our ministry that will help people not only identify honestly where they are, but call them to grow beyond that.
May 2009 Find You Closer to Christ,
Pastor Dave

I'm grateful for tools and accountability for specific spiritual growth for 2009. And the E tools will be great for ME, since I'm in Florida for approximately the next 7 weeks. Boy do I miss seeing everyone face-to-face, and Praise God I can be connected through E tools.
Press on Pastor Brother Dave!
By the way ~ I was looking forward to the learning how to make the "magestic" spiritual life-size ant! Bummer! I could really see the spiritual application there.
