Ambassadors Notes – October 7, 2007 (Updated)

Prayer Items:
  • Bob and Betsy’s granddaughter is doing much better. Thanks to everyone for praying.
  • Ann B. was admitted to MVH but and was expected to be released to a Bethany’s Linden House on Wednesday for therapy. She is still very ill and needs our prayers.
  • Roger B. is having eye problems. Pray for the Lord’s leading on the next actions. He did visit the doctor on Wednesday and has some problems that need correction.
  • Barb asked us to pray for the family of a DCS student who was killed on Friday. This girl was a soccer player on a team that Jessica coaches. Pray for the Winslow family and friends.
  • Pray for Mark P. as he has a meeting this week.
  • Betty did very well during their trip but she will be entering the hospital this Thursday to begin another round of treatments. Pray for her during this time.
  • Ben (Booher’s grandnephew) still needs our prayers. The doctors decided that he had some brain injury because of his illness. This can be cured or greatly improved over time (up to a year). Pray for his healing.
  • Russ went from Cambodia to Vietnam this weekend and arrived safely. Continue to pray for him and the others as they minister over there.

Bible Study:

Our evangelism topic was slightly derailed because of several discussions about empty churches in Europe and other parts of the world. Unfortunately, even though the evangelicals are vacating many churches the Muslims are moving in. Tony suggested that we should read the book “The West’s Last Chance” by Tony Blankley. I checked this online and found it is available for under $10. Several commented that “third world countries” such as African countries and S. Korea, are doing a good job of spreading the gospel outside their borders.

Next week we will continue our discussion with such topics as – Where do we see people coming to “faith” and how? Examples from Acts, Jonah, Abraham, Malachi, Moses, Woman at the well, man born blind and 1 Corinthians 15.

Dates to Remember:

  • November 3 – 8:30AM meet at church to car pool to the Creation Museum near Cincinnati. Cost will be $12.22 for entrance ticket and an additional $3.77 if you want to see the planetarium presentation. I recommend this. We will also have dinner together (optional) on the way home that evening.
  • Before November 18 – Samaritan Purse. We need to decide if we want to do this and when. If we do it, we may want to combine it with a breakfast at the church. We should decide this and start planning next Sunday. Barb will give us more details and also has a DVD.

Birthdays:

  • Meg – Oct. 11
  • Sally – Oct. 12

Visitor:

Mark Pulcifer

Sunday AM Services:

Pastor Kisner continued his new series on E-Verbs. He spoke from Romans 2 on Judgment. If you missed it, you can hear it on the church website. Follow this LINK.

Sunday PM Service:

Dr. Drullinger spoke from Ephesians 3. He also gave a nice presentation of his Mission plans for South Africa. You can hear this by following this LINK.

We also heard an excellent duet by Daniel Erlandson and Lauren Cruz. They are cousins. I always enjoy hearing new talent. You can hear this one at this LINK.

We have included several links this week and will include one more. I know the Events page on our WHBC website has not been updated for at least two years. But, this is now working again. We will try to keep the current month and next month updated on a regular basis. So, this is an excellent place to check if you are planning activities or just want to know when something is planned. Check the church monthly calendar HERE. Our website is intended to be a valuable resource. Take advantage of it.

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!
