Please consider joining us at our prayer meeting at 6:30 am tomorrow morning. It has been a blessing to gather and fellowship and pray with church family members about this specific need.
As we mentioned last week, men we would still like to consider received a packet of information and were asked to complete a questionnaire and return it to us. We have received one of those completed questionnaires back. We have also heard from some of the other men that they had received the packet and were reviewing the materials.
In addition, this last week brought more candidates for the committee to consider. The pulpit committee will review their information at our next meeting.
I continue to be grateful for the men the Lord has allowed to come into our path in this search. The potential candidates and other men we have sought counsel from have been agreat blessing. Because of their name being considered, I have searched for sermons by these men on their church websites. I have gained additional blessing as I have had the privilege to hear them bring messages from God's word. This week was a particularly difficult week as I was struggling with some health issues and other stressful circumstances. A message by one of the men we had contacted was a great help in readjusting my thinking and forcing me to evaluate things more appropriately using God's word. Thank you Calvary Bible Church family for this opportunity to serve and gain personal blessings in this work.
We all know that the web has a lot of danger and a lot of things that are a waste of time. At the same time, the internet is a great medium for accessing sermons by gifted, godly men serving in churches all over the country.
Your brother,
