Church Growth

Our body is growing fast.. just three weeks ago, there were only 23 people in the church picture. This week, there were 25. By my calculations, we should have 433 people in the picture next July.

Michael, Joe Joe and Sawyer came the farthest.

Evangelism Training

If you missed the chance to connect with Abigail for the evangelism training this past weekend, you really missed a key piece of the puzzle that will be needed for the evangelism emphasis in April. There is time to catch up, but you must work harder to get there now.

Here is some web homework that you can do to help you catch up:

• Connect: Pictures to connect with people
• Questions?: Find answers to some of life's most puzzling spiritual questions
• Growth: Help new believers grow in their faith
• Truth: Help all believers with a Christian Worldview and apologetics

Abigail will be wetting our appetite for connecting with people a bit tomorrow during the service as well.

DON'T MISS IT!

Men's Retreat 2008

There were many aspects of this retreat that any given man or boy would enjoy. In contrast to last year, there were no injuries that I know of. Not that Travis and Jacob didn't try to injure someoone with axes and fire and accelerants and boats and sticks and hooks. Adam provoked one adult to place Adam in a scenario with lots of potential energy if friction failed, but it didn't.

Passing the torch was discussed, acknowledged, recognized and encouraged.

Gary Wilson taught us that we, by ourselves, are too smart and that sharing the gospel was simple and merely and act of obedience in unfailing love. Tatesbrook is blessed with smart people.

And of course, what retreat would be complete without an ultimate frisbee game and a 40 yard dash. Letting go of a torch can be hard.

Dare2Share "Survive"

Robin Potter has been working on a plan to take a sizable group of 14-18 year olds to Columbus on the weekend of Feb 1-3. Please pray that these teens will be eternally changed.

Last year, there were a few kids that accepted Christ as their savior at this conference.
