There is a group of churches trying to put together a St. Louis World Cup... enlisting soccer teams from as many different countries as possible for a tournament and then sharing the gospel with them. Not a bad idea... actually a very good idea and seems to fit in with the goals of the Samaria Team at PBC. But the timing is bad for me - happening right around the time of VBS. Hoping someone else from PBC will take this on.
Our monthly MOPS Steering Team meeting was... interesting? Surprising? A blindside? There seems to be some discontent from one of the members... but I think it's only one and I didn't really understand everything she was talking about. I'm sure it'll be fine though.
Our 6th week of Upward is finished. Can't believe there are only 2 more Game Days. Seems like only yesterday we were doing Evaluations. Overall it's been a good year - some glitches but hey, we're dealing with people... what can you expect? Really looking forward to our Awards Night on February 28.
Attended Sammy's birthday party on Saturday night. I can't believe he turned 5 on February 17. The last 5 years have flown by. I love being Moppy! He is so much fun to be with... and so smart... and just as sweet as they come. He has a watch now and is happy to tell you what time it is every 30 seconds.
Our neighbor across the street died last week. He was 82 and suffered a heart attack. We try to look after them. Sara and I went by the funeral home to pay our respects. Now we'll do what we can to look after his wife.
Our KidZone Worship leaders are the best! Jennie, Kendra, Kim, Sara, Teresa and I were invited to the home of a couple of our kids. The youngest insisted on having us over for dinner. We were all able to make it on the same night - amazing - and we had a great time! It was very sweet of this young family to entertain us for the evening.
Saddle Ridge Ranch, VBS 2010 is off and running. I met with my directors, Janet & Cheryl, and they are set to start recruiting volunteers. We've made it possible to volunteer online this year. Just go to www.parkwaybaptist.net/children and click on the link. Well, it's not there yet but it will be soon. We've already had several volunteer and that is always an exciting way to start. So saddle up and let's get riding to Saddle Ridge Ranch.
Charlie's sister, Shirley, had a birthday this week. We went to dinner with her and a sister from Atlanta, and a sister & brother-in-law from Brentwood. And as usual there were lots of laughs!
Another big Awana night this week... not sure how many yet but the circle was full of kids... love it, love it!! Looking around the room and seeing all those smiling kids and knowing that they are hiding God's Word in their hearts every week. Gives me goosebumps! One of our high school Sunday School teachers told me recently that some of her girls mentioned knowing a verse because they had learned it in Awana. Our oldest son who is 33 still quotes verses that he learned while in Awana... and now his kids are doing the same. Next week is "Backwards Night"... can't wait to see some of the antics of the clubbers.
Loving the Olympics... GO USA!!! And remember to pray for Jeff Wells, former student minister at PBC, who is there sharing the gospel with everyone he sees - I can guarantee it.
