e-news for week of 7/17/11

We just came back from funeral services for Darline Walls – mother of Dan Howell, grandmother to Jessie Spellman (our preschool director) and great grandmother to Jessie’s children: Isaiah, Huston, Lillie, and Avery. Dan is one of our elders here at Forum and his wife Carolyn has served in the administrative office. This is a family who loves and serves the Lord. Dan honored the Lord and his mother singing at the funeral, “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow.” Please extend to this family your love and compassion as they mourn Darline’s passing from this earth. I wish we had thousands of families with the same love of the Lord as that of the Howell/Spellman families. We know with full confidence that she went to be with the Lord.

Our high school students are at a Christ in Youth Conference this week as well. Congratulations to Stefan who was baptized on Wednesday night. We’re praying big prayers for all of our high school students at CIY this week.

This week we start a brand new series called, “Before and After.”

Quick questions:

What were you like before you knew Jesus?
How has your life changed?
Do you know what God says about the power at work in you right now?
Are you striving to become more like Jesus?

Let me encourage you to read all 6 chapters of the book of Ephesians prior to Sunday. Can’t wait to worship with you Sunday. - Scott


PS – Please plan to stay for the shower/going away for Jared and Katrina Wortman on July 31. Should be a great time of fellowship.
