Ambassadors Notes - January 6, 2008

Class Time: Dennis continued our study of Christ and the woman at the well as told in John 4. We discussed several areas of interest including the attitude of the disciples toward the woman, Christ’s statement about “the food that you know nothing about”, and the fields “white for harvest.” The village came to understand because of the woman who told them about Christ (verses 39-42). We had a good number of people in class including several who would normally have other duties in Sunday School. It is always good to have these servants in our ABF from time to time. Our total attendance was 51. We also had good offerings the last couple of weeks. This brings our balance to about $790. We still have one obligation to meet but this is plenty to meet that need. Sunday Morning Service: Mikal Kildal brought the message about the marks of a servant from Genesis 24. He listed the following marks/characteristics: Unselfish Humility Unconditional Commitment Obedient to His Boss Anticipates Prob...

Guess Who # 15

I thought it would be a good idea to get this posted quickly so you would have something to look at as you sit snowed in! Hopefully, this is another false alarm. Oops, maybe this is the wrong one! Can you imagine - parents sitting a small child like this out in the storm! It kind of reminds us of those cold blizzard mornings walking to school, doesn't it? All kidding aside, if you can guess who this young lady is, let us know! Maybe her mommy and daddy are frantically searching the snow drifts for her! Couldn't resist! :)

Christmas Party!

I thought it would be a good idea to add a few more fun photos from our Christmas party last weekend. Lookout Betsy! I think someone is awfully interested in your popcorn. This item seemed to pass hands on a very regular basis. Mark was truly the host with the most! We can see that he certainly is prepared to dress for the occasion! Thank you Mark for arranging for this venue for our party. This photo is living proof that I had the Palm (Bob insisted we call it this) in my possession. Unfortunately, nothing good can be held for long. I think everyone had a great time. Who will get the goose next year?

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...

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...
