PASTOR’S EMAIL UP DATE
August 9, 2007
Dear Bayviewite(s)
Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Good News - Have you heard the good news? Last Sunday, I read the Letter of Intent that we have received for the entire Next Level construction...Amen, Hallelujah, and Praise the Lord!!!! That means it's a strong possibility that we can start construction before the first of the year. If you haven't heard about our blessing then it must be true that "A lie can go through a congregation ten times before truth can get out of bed." Why is it that good news travels so slowly? Anyway, you know now if you didn't know so help us spread the good new. With your prayers and God's help this Sunday I will finish up the message on Facing Overwhelming Odds from 2 Chronicles 20:1-30. Pay particular attention to verse 26 "And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore, the name of the same place was called, "The Valley of Berachah, unto this day." Let's Assemble to Thank God - As King Jehoshaphat called all Judah together to praise the Lord for their blessing, I'm calling all Bayviewites to be present to worship, praise and thank God this Sunday. I realize our attendance is typically lower on Second Sundays (for which I am praying we will permanently correct). Nevertheless, I'm urging each of us to come to give your personal response to God for His goodness to us. Next Level Pledges - Oh by the way, we need to finish up our pledges for the Next Level Offering that we will receive on September 23 (4th Sunday). The total pledged amount from last Sunday is $237, 572 (but that may not include your pledge). On Sunday, let's demonstrate "The Bayview Product" in genuine worship, grateful worship, gracious worship and generous worship. See you Sunday. Come, let's pack the house and rock the house. Blessings to you... Pastor
