Catching Up...

It has been awhile since I've last written anything. God's been awesome in His dealings with me and with my family. Cathy enjoyed a great time away to relax, rest and recourse. The Lord is opening great opportunities for our church at Anderson. I'm praying for wisdom in dealing with the ministries we're already doing, and for those opportunities He seems to be leading us toward in the near future. I'm asking my family and friends to keep my in their prayers; that God will make known clearly His will and direction and supply the wisdom in the coming weeks and months. Our youth ministries this fall have started out with a bang. If the initial attendance and enthusiasm is any indication, we're going to have a banner year! Our AWANA workers and B3 leaders are doing a great job. The teen group and workers are especially an exciting group to watch and our youth leaders are doing a great job thus far with them. Adam and Rebecca Johnson, our new music leader is doing a great job as well, and has a good number of dedicated people who are involved with the choir. I believe that God will greatly use this couple in our church. They've been a great asset and fit for LBC. I am also excited with our new men's ministry called "One on One." It is a time to build fellowship and accountability with those men of the church who choose to meet with me one on one. As you can see, there is a lot going on and it keeps me busy. But what a privilege it is to be in ministry working for the Lord and His glory. I'm thankful and humbled at the honor I've been given to serve as Pastor of one of His churches.
