THIS PREACHERS
NOT PREACHING TODAY
by Pastor Richard Todd
for the week beginning 5/20/12
I’m out of town today but it is business as usual. The message for May 20 and 27 will be preached by Pastor Larry Williams. Larry has been with us here at Community for about six years and will take over the pastoral duties for the New Troy Grace Brethren Church family as their Senior Pastor on June 24 (New Troy is in Michigan, not Greece). Larry will be speaking to you from a very special passage in the book of Acts.
We celebrated another FIRST on May 13th with our first Mother’s Day here at 8109. A special tribute by Larry Williams to his mom plus special flowers to all the moms present made it a special day. My message was from 2 Timothy 1 and Acts 16 on the mom that discipled a spiritual giant: EUNICE, the mother of Timothy.

Patty Morris is coming home in a few days and is planning on stopping by right here with us next Sunday, May 27. She will be speaking at 9:30AM to a group of you in the Fellowship Hall then again in the morning service and plans to go to lunch that day. Stay tuned for details.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
I LOVE MY MOM CAUSE SHE COOKS FISH
Our kids in PromiseLand prepared special Mother’s Day cards and cookies for their moms on Sunday morning, May 13th. This was the message inside one of the cards that I was shown by one of our young men. [this couldn’t have been one of my sons....ask Claudia why].
God’s best to you,
Pastor Richard
