Ambassadors Notes for the week of Dec. 9

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 contrast.

After our class we had a great morning celebration time. Pastor Kisner preached on Romans 6:23. Hopefully, everyone can quote this verse by memory. I believe this is one of the first verses I had ever memorized as a child. Sarah Britton also provided an excellent flute solo accompanied by her dad on the piano who also did the arrangement. You can hear the morning sermon and this music at the WHBC Website HERE.

Sunday evening we had communion and also honored several of our staff members for their service to our church. Each of these had major milestones in their service. Linda Thomas (Ambassador Class Member) is retiring and was also honored for many years of service. Dr. David Drullinger was honored for his 15 years of service. He is also leaving next year as he begins his missionary service in South Africa. Charlie Pagnard was also honored for his 15 years of service. Sherm Bowser was honored for his 10 years of service. He is also retiring effective this month. We are truly blessed to have such servants.


Dates to Remember:

  • Dec. 11 – YAH program and luncheon
  • Dec. 15 – Medicare Q&A Session with Dave Darkow 9 to 11 AM in Co-Laborers room
  • 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)
  • Dec. 30 – Our next and last class meeting time of this year

Ambassadors ABF Notes for May 20th

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)

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!
