This week we've added a link to the message Dennis did for the Cedarville Chapel last Thursday. It is about "The Ethics of Homosexuality".

We will add some material from his discussion Sunday morning later this week.

Remember, you are welcome to leave comments on the Blog.

This Sunday we had 52 in class. We had two visitors; Georgene and Hilma. Be sure to welcome them when you see them again. We still have some of our group away but some will be returning within the next week or two.

PRAYER ITEMS

  • Don R's mother died last night. She is with our Lord but pray for the family.
  • Lynn P updated us that the small child (niece of friend) is improving and should develop normally. Praise the Lord for answered prayer!
  • We also received a message from the Nims that their grandson, Shaun, is improving and does not need immediate surgery. Pray for continued improvements and that the necessary surgery will go well.
  • Paul B asked for prayer concerning a family forgiveness issue. Also, his daughter will be moving back home.
  • Dan, the Cedarville student who had the spinal injury during the Mexico MIS trip, is paralyzed. His spinal injury has been labeled as “complete” meaning it will take a miracle for his total recovery. Our course, our great physician is capable of "completely healing" Dan. He does desire to complete his education. You can also follow his progress at his Blog.
  • Jane L’s father, Colin H, may be moved from Miami Valley Hospital to a nursing home for rehab. Pray for his health and for his wife, Mercedes, also.
  • Jerry reported some improvement in the spasms in his back.
  • Nancy continues to improve after her knee replacement. She was in class with us on Sunday.
  • Larry Smith wanted to join knee replacement clan and had surgery this past Thursday. He has been up and has begun therapy. He is probably home by now. He plans to be here for our missions conference (and class dinner).
  • Cedarville University is anticipating a protest group of homosexuals on campus this April 19th. Pray for a peaceful time and also for the spiritual conviction and salvation of these marchers.
  • Continue to pray for our missionaries and service men and women in the Middle East.


CLASS NOTES

Dennis discussed the “Body of Jesus” as discussed by Paul in I Cor. 15:35-49. The people asked “how are the dead raised; and with what kind of body?

Next Sunday we will have the choir Cantata during both services and there will be no ABFs or evening service. Use this as an opportunity to invite family and friends.

The week after “Resurrection Sunday” Dennis will be joined by Dave Denlinger for a discussion on Heaven. This should be another interesting topic.

The two Sunday services blended perfectly with our Ambassadors ABF discussion. Dr. Drullinger continued his three sermon series on “I walked today where Jesus walked!” Pastor Rich McGhee and his daughter, Hannah, did a dramatization and sermon on “He touched me!” If you missed any of these you can still hear them at the WHBC website.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

We had a sign-up sheet to prepare Boxed Lunches for the mission conference. There will be a series of “Power Lunches” and our responsibility is for the 25th. Karen or Barb will be contacting those of you who volunteered. We actually had an over-abundance of volunteers.

Remember our dinner date with missionaries (and Ambassador Class members) Larry and Bev Smith on April 28. The Darkows have offered their home for this event. We will also include the rest of the mission work team for dinner since our class members were a significant part of the team. We had food a sign-up sheet and will send it around again before the 28th. Don’t forget what you signed up for. We will have a map to the Darkows home next time we meet.

Ambassadors Notes for the week of Dec. 9

Image
This past weekend was a great one. We all had a good time of fun and fellowship together Saturday evening as we gathered for our annual Christmas celebration. The food was way to plentiful and good! I know I am not the only one to over-eat! I think it was John who is the new owner of the golden goose! But this wasn’t the only weird gift to be won. Ask Rosalinda about her jeans! These photos were provided by Bob Lawson. Thank you Bob! Can you believe, I didn’t even bring a camera? Many thanks to Mark Averitt also; for arranging for the Community Center for our use. It was perfect for our needs. Sunday was also another good time together as a class. John and Sandy gave us a “ Long and Short of it ” showing of their trip to Israel. I thought their presentation was fascinating and well worthwhile. I will never forget Sandy’s description of the Hasidic men leaving the Wailing Wall and immediately taking out their cell phones. I don’t mean this was wrong in any way but it seemed to be a real...

Ambassadors ABF Notes for May 20th

Image
Naiya Symone Simpson This Sunday was a little different for us; two weeks in a row, now. Dennis is still under the weather with a chest cold or something giving him pain. Please pray for him. Last Sunday we were fortunate to have Larry Smith give us an update taking most of our class time. This week, we spent the majority of the time doing prayer requests and praying. I think these times are especially good and they are pleasing to our Lord. I know I personally get more out of a prayer time like this. Anyway, instead of our normal dog on pony show with myself, John, and Roger Brandt plus Dennis before you, everyone was stuck with the dog, ME! Visitor We had a long distance visitor with us this Sunday. His name is Charles. He is an ESOL Student of Barb Sullivan’s and comes all the way from North Central China. Be sure to greet him, next time. Smith Fund Report We collected funds to help the Smiths and their transition back to the US soil from their mission work in Nicaragua during the ...

Ambassadors Class Game Night (05/09/2008)

Image
Friday evening, May 9th, we had a game night in the church for our class. We all played table games and ate snack foods. I would have liked to see more in attendance but I know that this Mother’s day weekend may have posed problems for some. As you can see from the photos below, we played a variety of games. Good times for fellowship and discussion. But, someone must be the expert to explain the rules. Hmmm, looks like our lawyer is examining the evidence! Watch out! This one will hurt! Hey! Are you watching my moves?! Linda it going to make a move! The Thinker!
