Recap of 10-26-09

Monday night at Barefoot Church Celebrate Recovery, we had a great lesson on relapse and how to avoid it, using how Jesus faced temptation as an example. John M. did a great job presenting the lesson and thanked us for our prayers for his wife LeAnne who is recovering nicely from her surgery. In case you missed the lesson, you have another chance to hear it again at Beach Church on Friday night. Barry reminded us relapse does not have to be a part of recovery and there are some of us that have not relapsed thanks to the grace of Jesus Christ. Don't forget there is an important Leadership Meeting/Training on Saturday, November 7th at the church office at 9:00 am. If you would like to be involved in leadership in any way, we welcome you to attend and find out more about the opportunities awaiting you.

Recap of 08-31-09

Once again we had another spirit filled night of worship by our recently and appropriately named Celebrate Recovery Band, "The Sacred Blend." They set the tone for a testimony by John M., Barry's Co-Director of Celebrate Recovery at Barefoot Church; that was deeply powerful and full of God's healing touch. If you couldn't make it, it will be well worth your while to check it out here later today or early tomorrow at the latest. You will learn about the countless miracles that happened in John's life as he diligently acted out what James 5:16 directs us to do. "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray one another so you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." He gives example after example of answered prayer and healing. You won't want to miss this one. The last verse I want to give you applies to the testimony you heard and perhaps your own life and is full of hope, "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me, I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day." John 6:39. AMEN and AMEN
