2009 Vision: Serving the community through the arts and acts of kindness
Our focus group will be meeting this Wednesday night! We'll be dreaming about how we can make this vision a reality through God's power. Please let us know if you have any creative ideas. You can contact Louis Rose, David Mitchell, Jason & Suzanne Chambliss, Elisa Morrison, Janice Howard, Beth Schoenbachler, Karen Hinman, Jake Moyes or Steve Mohler with any ideas.
Praise Team Practice: Avion Training
During the next 4 praise team practices, Guy Hall and the media team will be training the instrumentalists on our Avion monitor system. There are some more interesting tricks that they would like to share with you. While they are working with the band, I'll be working with the vocal team on blend and worship leading. This should take about 15 minutes of the practice, but we'll still only practice from 6:00-8:00 P.M.
New Office
Yes! The dream has come true! I now have an office with windows. :) I can look out right now while I'm typing this and see the pond, the sky, and the glorious sunshine. Come by the FCCN campus sometime this week and I'll show it to you. I wake up every morning and say, "Praise the Lord! Not only did He give me a relationship with His son Jesus, but he lets me see the sun 40 hours a week." :)
Value of the Month: Relational Evangelism
Since my current glasses are over three years old, I took an eye exam last Friday. I had a great time talking with the eye doctor, and we really connected. He mentioned that he lived in Newburgh, and he asked me a few questions about FCCN. It wasn't till the the end of the exam when I thought, "wake up dummy! This guy might be interested in a relationship with Jesus!" Then I finally got the nerve to invite him to FCCN. He was genuinely interested, but he might not have been if I had not spent some time getting to know him! I'm praying that I see him here at FCCN in the next few weeks.
Remember, like we learned last week, the best way to win someone to Christ is to be their friend first. Build the relationship, let them know that you care about them. Then they will start to ask questions about your life, and it's your chance to tell them what Jesus has done for you. Then invite them to a worship service here or some Christian event. It begins with the personal relationship.
God bless you all,
Phill

glad to hear you now have windows. I haven't had any in my office for the last 2 years. It sure makes for some surprises when you go to leave and realize its been raining all day :)
