1) The head pastor and his wife are here in Ashland with us for the job in Pennsylvania I have been candidating for. The job is for a small-groups pastor position. Keep praying that God's will would be done.
2) Tonight is the final night for my elective at the church, "The Women of Genesis". The series has gone very well (even though it has been 99% women that come every week). Tonight we finish with the lives of Rachel and Leah.
3) This week at church is Vacation Bible School. This Sunday I will be doing a Gospel show for Children's Church (called "Power Kids"). They are promoting the show through Bible school in hopes that kids will come this Sunday morning to church that don't usually come...which means they will be bringing their parents as well. Great outreach opportunity!
4) We have a brother-in-law (on Jen's side) that had his mother go through brain surgery recently to remove a tumor. It ended up being more extensive surgery than they originally planned, so there have been some set-backs...but as of the last update she was starting to do well again. But please pray for this family. Her name is Nancy.
5) This week we kick off a dream of mine from the church...the idea of matching newly married (less than 10 years) couples with more seasoned couples in the church (25+ years of marriage). I created an entire curriculum for the mentor couples to go through (more of a guide) with their groups and hopefully this will build and strengthen the marriages in our church. The first groups that are starting involve 11 couples.
