Norm’s Notes August 22, 2013

Pastor Norm

Things I Like   
I like new attenders. God brings about 150 new attenders to FMC each year. There are about the same number relocating away from the area each year too. Thus the church needs 150 new people just to remain the same in attendance.

I like new small groups. 21 new people will meet at my house Sunday night to prayerfully create three new small groups. They are “test driving” a small group.

I like partnering with missionaries who make disciples – like Don Riley in Liberia. Don and team need ten new motor bikes, and the gasoline to run them, to keep their ministry going. Read Don’s letter here. I like praying for ten people to each buy a motor bike and then for 400 people to give $25 each to fill the bikes with 5 gallons of gasoline. I like watching God work in these challenges. We will receive a special offering September 1 but you may give any time.

I like Pastor Joel’s preaching and I know you do too. I like sitting in the seat with my wife in the worship service.

I like new spiritual life. I will baptize 6 people in Lake James around noon on Sunday. It is a family and friends baptism. This will be fun.

I like the people I work with.

I like it when people follow God into ministry. We have families seeking God’s leading.

I like the 8:00 small church I have been attending the last three Sunday mornings. Very good teaching and fellowship. What small church do you attend?

I like the new sermon series “The Story” starting October 6. It is the story of what God has been doing on earth between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21.

I like it when people follow God and step into ministry. There are many opportunities for ministry at the church. See Jessica’s video.

I really like FMC big time. Tell others what you like about the church as you invite them to come with you.
