Love From Your Pastor

Hi Friends,

This might be a shorter email than usual (I’m a little behind for some reason!).  We read again a lot of great stuff in our Daily Bible Reading.  But I was especially touched by Joshua 24:15, as I am every time I read through Joshua.  We all have a decision to make, and I hope our answer will be, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!”
Men’s Breakfast – Saturday (tomorrow) at 7:00am!  Mike Riffle from Colombia Grace Foundation will be here to share with us.  And of course there will be lots of great food.  Please come join us men!
Revelation 15:1-8 will be our text for Sunday.  Please read and pray over that before Sunday.  What is the “Song of Moses”?  What is the “Song of the Lamb”?  Mike and Stacey Riffle from Colombia Grace will also be sharing during the worship service and the adult Sunday School.
July 26 – Everyone is invited to stay for a simple lunch and a time of information, discussion, and Q & A regarding the addition of an Associate Pastor.  There is more info in this week’s bulletin about this.
Thank you for continued prayers for Alan Blake and Bruce Landon.  Alan was transfered today to a rehab facility at or near the University of Oregon!  He’s working hard and making great progress.  Let’s keep praying for a complete recovery and for God’s glory.  Bruce is recovering from heart bypass surgery, and is expected to be able to come home Saturday or Sunday.  Thanks for praying!
Thank you to everyone for supporting my adventure coaching the junior high Central Linn baseball team.  The journey came to an end today with our second loss at the State Tournament.  But it was a great season with a lot for the kids to celebrate, including a 16-0 regular season and winning the Valley League Championship tournament!  Also it was a great opportunity for impacting kids and building relationships with families.  Pray for fruit from any seeds planted!
See you this weekend!
Love From Your Pastor,
Michael
