I hope that this post finds all of you doing well. Unfortunately, as I write this I am getting sicker. It is the same symptoms that Gary Arner had earlier in the week. I am afraid that I have caught this from him, and I do not want to pass it around any further. So, I will not be at church tonight. 
 
We will be having Elevate as planned. Richard and Jamie Lowe and Abe Bodkins will be there and will lead as usual. Tonight’s teaching will be a DVD teaching from Erwin McMannus from the Willow Creek Leadership Summit entitled, The Barbarian Way, which is all about living a life that is completely committed to following Jesus. It is all about having a close relationship with Jesus and being able to hear his voice in our life and being radically obedient to what he leads us to do. 
 
We were supposed to have our monthly Student Ministry Committee meeting tonight after Elevate. All parents are invited to attend these meetings. However, because I am sick and won’t be there, we will not have the meeting. We will move it to this coming Sunday night at 5pm in the 1PSM Room.
 
Even though we are not having a meeting tonight I would like to let you know about a couple of things we were going to address.
 
First, Our Confirmation Class that is scheduled to begin in April. I have heard from several parents that Monday nights are a bad night to hold these classes. So, I was going to suggest that those classes be moved to Sunday evenings. Please think that over and we will make a final decision on Sunday.
 
Second, I am hoping to add an activity night on Sunday evenings. These would consist of fun activities with a light devotion. I was hoping to start this Sunday night with a movie night in the 1PSM Room. 
 
So, after our meeting at 6pm we will have our movie night. Bring your kids with you, bring some snacks to share and we will have a great time.
 
In addition to this we will also look at all of the ministry stuff through the summer.
 
Thanks for your understanding and for your prayers for me to get better quickly.
