My Heroes

Well, this is it. Our brand new, never before, first time ever Contemporary service begins this Sunday at 8:30am. We are so excited. We took a group of 23 out last Saturday who helped us pass out 3500 of our 10,000 postcards. Did I mention most of these precious people were seniors? What an encouragement they have been. I am so thankful for each of them!

We had a precious mom and her daughter visit our core team breakfast for the very first time a couple of weeks ago, and they came to help us pass out postcards too! What a day it was.

Then there's Elena. She is legally blind, yet still passed out postcards on her block. WOW! What a fantastic woman of God she is!

Today, my own wonderful Gary passed out over 2300 postcards all by himself. What a wonderful man God blessed me with 25 years ago!

Not only were these postcards hand delivered, but each one of them was prayed over that the people receiving them would be open to the Gospel.

Luke 24:1-6, "1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee."

HE IS RISEN INDEED!
