Big Day Sunday!

This Sunday is going to be a HUGE day here at EFBC, and I am incredibly pumped! Our Harvest of Fun Fall Festival will be after the morning worship service and lunch. We're telling people 12 until 2, but I hope you'll invite people to come to church first, then stay for lunch, and then for the HOF.

Let me first talk about Sunday morning. I hope you'll invite your lost friends this Sunday. The message will be the third in our current series Show Me The Proof. This week's message is entitled Is There Really Life After Death?, and we're going to be talking about the evidence we have for the resurrection.

Many people who don't know Christ may have never taken very seriously the claims the Bible makes concerning the resurrection. This message will powerfully show them that this is something EVERYBODY needs to take seriously, because the Bible says in John 5:28-29: A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out-- those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. (NIV) That tells me that the truth of the resurrection affects every person on the planet, not just the Christian.

Following our morning worship service, we'll be having a lunch with hot dogs and chili. We need folks to please help us out by bringing crackers, chips, corn chips, cornbread, and desserts (and/or anything else that would go well with chili and hot dogs). For those who'll be working the HOF, we'll eat fairly quickly and then get ready to welcome all of our guests.

Let's pray that God will use this event as a powerful ministry outreach for our community! Let's pray that we'll see lives changed as a result of this ministry. And let's pray that God will show up in a HUGE way for everything that we're doing on Sunday!

By the way, we could still use more candy if anyone can bring some by. Donations are greatly appreciated! Let's also not forget that tonight we are feeding the coaches and referees at the Wellborn game. Your help is greatly appreciated!

One more thing before I close this: this past Wednesday night at EFBC we had 62 children (not counting youth and adults), and we fed every one of them! This is a new ministry that our Wednesday night workers have felt led to begin, and all I can say is, "What's God going to do next?" These are exciting times at EFBC! God is working in so many areas that it blows my mind! Thank you all for your faithfulness!

Keep praying! Keep investing and inviting! And keep yourself prepared, because the best is yet to come!
