Joplin Relief Efforts

Draining.  Emotionally.  Physically.  Psychologically.

As I think about what I, Micky Painter, Joe Strong, Kevin Carder, and Ashley Napier experienced today I am in awe of our God, thankful for our government, and humbled by the gratefulness of the people without homes today that we served.

We also assisted a tornado damaged church, Faith Assembly of God, which was hosting a Convoy of Hope outreach.

I know . . . I broke every rule of photo taking . . . “include the people serving” . . . my bad.

Charles and Fredia are standing where there garage used to be.  We tore it down and cleared their driveway, with help, so their van could be removed and used!

Explaining Financing–M&M Style

Tyler Kelly, our staff pastor, is a fine financial mind in his own right, but he willingly let me play the straight man as we explained our financing and status of our Building Tomorrow Together Capital Giving Campaign to our congregation . . . M&M style.

Eiffel Tower Makes Appearance At Church!

About a year ago my wife started brainstorming about a theme idea for a banquet.  French theme.  Paris in the springtime.

Well, she pulled it off, in spades!

 

 

Now, anyone want to buy an Eiffel Tower?  Cheap!

Baking During The Sermon–Really?

This morning, Mother’s Day 2011, I actually baked cookies during my morning preaching time. 

Seriously.

Took some work, and I had to learn how to make cookies, but the message, “The Recipe of Your Life,: and the cookies, turned out well.
