How Cool!!!!

Hey Everyone, (menu at bottom of post)

How cool! We were all there on Sunday (27 of us !), minus Cole & Taylor. We missed you Cole & Taylor!

Gary, thanks for sharing about your trip to Africa. We will all be praying for you and how we should support you and your family. Matt, thanks for sharing what is happening in Awana. It is awesome how our church is learning how to better reach out to the neighborhood kids. Michelle, thanks for telling us about being a big sister at the girl's treatment center. We will be praying for you and your group from CU, that you can have a very real impact on the girls that you are mentoring. Lindsey, we will be praying for you as you learn to balance your college work with other aspects of life. We will pray that the Lord will show you how He might want you to be involved in the lives of children, in order to impact the world for Him. Shannon, thanks for sharing about the community dinners and encouraging each of us to pray about how we might become involved.

Something to think about... It doesn't take formal involvement in a ministry to impact the people around you for Christ. Sometimes God calls us in to a specific area of ministry so that He can reach a certain people group through us. However, sometimes He calls us to NOT be involved in an organized ministry, because He has given us a calling to minister to those we come into contact with on a daily basis. I would encourage each of us to pray and ask the Lord to help us to know for certain where He is blessing our involvement in the lives of others.

Now onto our menu..........

How about tacos???

We, the Pollocks, will have hard and soft taco shells, drinks, and shredded cheese.

Can some folks bring the following? (Keep in mind we may have about 30 people if we invite an extra guest or two to lunch.) (p.s. the purpose of this is not to make our group larger, but to make sure that if we have a visitor to church or someone in need of a meal, that they are made to feel welcomed and cared for at EBC...)

*3 or 4 people to bring 3 or 4 pounds each of seasoned ground beef or chicken strips
*seasoned refried beans
*shredded lettuce
*chopped onions
*diced tomatoes
*sour cream
*taco sauce
*guacamole
*salsa
*2 bags of tortilla chips
*paper plates
*plastic forks
*paper napkins
*plastic cups
*anything else???

I hope you all are having a great week! It is my weekend to work, so I probably won't see you Sunday, but I will be praying for our group while I'm working!

In Christ,
Missi Pollock
