Ambassadors ABF Notes for the Week of December 2nd

I’ve changed the format a bit and will include the prayer items and other personal information only in the email. If you are not on our email list and would like to be included, please contact me. This new format will avoid repeating the information in both the email and this Blog and also provide a little better privacy here.

As always, we had a great time fellowshipping and in God’s word this Sunday.



John’s Israel Report

John Entner reported briefly on their trip during the Thanksgiving period to Israel. It sounds like the trip of a lifetime. I will go someday but not sure if it will be before the “New Jerusalem”. I’m anxious to see a slide show of this trip. What do the rest of you think of this idea? Here are a couple of photos to whet your appetite.



ABF Bible Study

Dennis continued our study, under short time constraints. This week we discussed John chapter 4 and the “Woman at the Well”. Dennis mentioned that she was skeptical about what Jesus said but wanted to hear more. He made an interesting comparison of this event and the way many “Seeker Churches” work today. Interest is generated but the deal is not closed. Fortunately, in this Woman’s case, Jesus helped her to see that she had a problem and a need. See John 4:16.

Dates to Remember

  • Dec. 4 – Ladies Cozy Tea at the Darkow’s with speaker Wendy Kisner
  • Dec. 8 – Ambassadors Christmas Party at the Deer Run Community Center at 6PM
  • Dec. 11 – YAH program and luncheon. This is a good opportunity to minister to others.
  • Dec. 15 – Medicare Q&A Session with Dave Darkow 9 to 11 AM in Co-Laborers room. Sign up for this in the office or foyer next week.
  • Dec. 15 and 16th – Christmas Cantata (no ABF on Sunday)
  • Dec. 19 – All Church Caroling – this would be a great way for our class to serve together
  • Dec. 23 – Gifts for Christ unified service (no ABF)

Guess Who

The last Guess Who was John Burkard.

I don’t have any more photos to post. If you have a fun photo that we could use to stump our group, please give it to me. I can scan a photo and return it to you.


Miami Valley Women’s Center Christmas Project

We purchased gifts for a mom and three kids and delivered those to the Women’s Center. I will post their response on our bulletin board when I receive it.


Sunday AM Service

This Sunday the “God’s Kids Choir” gave a mini concert. These kids are kindergarten age and gave an excellent presentation.

Pastor Kisner continued his series on the E-Verbs. This week he again continued the section of Romans on Redemption and discussed Victory. See Romans 5:12-21

You can hear the entire message HERE.

Sunday PM Service

The kids from First through Sixth grades presented a musical called “Angel Alert” – the night that heaven came down. This was another very well done presentation. I think we have some great talent for our adult choir some day.

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!
