From the Focus on Mission Meeting 08-06-2011

We had an excellent meeting today, and our participants (over 50 in attendance!) generated really great ideas to address the needs in our community and helped shape our focus for the next year.  Nancy Hayes will be giving a summary tomorrow at church (which will also be videotaped and posted to our channel).

Here are some pictures from this morning:

Our groups!

Our lists of ideas.

Newsflash for Christ Alone Church, 07/27/2011

Newsflash for Christ Alone!

Romans 8:28 is true: God works to the good in all things for those who love the Lord.  Rev. Linda has had an interesting week, injuring her knee while moving a table.  She will have arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday to repair torn cartilage.  So Sunday's worship will be much different that we have planned.  She said, "It seems that everyone has just been wonderful at stepping up and offering their help without any reservations. What a blessing to have a congregation that pulls together with such willingness.  This is indeed the body of Christ in action.  On Sunday our B team will be God's A Team. (Remember the enthusiasm of the Packers after the strike and Samkon Gado's first touchdown, kneeling and lifting up the football to God's Glory. He was a Nigerian walk-on who had never owned his own football.)"

Sunday's worship will begin with Julie Herber as pianist. The Call to Worship will be a dramatic portrayal of Exodus 3-4, the call of Moses done by Jim Castle and Nate Kraftcheck.  Jenny Kraftcheck will do the Children's Moment.  Jon Brassfield will preach on Mark 12:29-31 and Matthew 28:19-20.  His sermon title is: "I Meant What I Said 100% ... Non-Participation is Not An Option."  We will bless our Mission team as it heads out to Joplin Missouri. We will be blessed by the leadership of these wonderful people. Keep them all in your prayers.

Keep in mind that next Saturday, August 6 is our Focus on Mission congregational planning and prioritizing event. 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. With focus on listening for God's guidance, a keynote report by Pastor Ted relating to the missional needs of Allouez, Nancy Hayes will lead us into a lively prioritizing and brainstorming session, where we will come out with our congregations top priorities for missional involvement in Allouez. It will be productive, fun, and Spirit-filled. Please make every effort to be there. If you have not been already asked to sit at a specific table, a sign up will be passed around in worship on Sunday.

Summer seems to be whizzing by!  May our glorious God be fully present to you each day.

More food for thought before our Aug. 6 meeting ...

Reminder: Focus on Mission Meeting is August 6

Remember our "Focus on Mission" meeting is August 6 from 8-12 -- based on what we learned during The Great Giveaway on Saturday, there are very real and immediate needs in the neighborhood God has placed us in.  Please pray and attend this meeting!

Dave Ferguson Video for Sunday's Service

This is the video Pastor Ted has asked us to watch:

Are you interested in a daytime Alpha?

Some weeks ago, some individuals proposed that we run a daytime Alpha Class.  It’s possible!  Class sessions are an hour long, and dessert only is served.  Daytime courses are designed for working individuals who can only give a noon hour, retirees who don’t like to be out in the evening, stay-at-home moms who need to be at home with their families in the evening, etc.  If there is a minimum of eight individuals interested in such a class, Pastor Ted will direct it.  Anyone can come, including those who don’t attend our church.  Please express your interest on a sign-up sheet in the Narthex, and indicate the time-of-day and day-of-the-week you would prefer. 

Mother's Day is May 8!

This Sunday is Mother’s Day!  Pastor Ted's sermon is titled “A Lovely, Rich Heritage” and is based on the story of the mother of Samson (Judges 13:1-7).

Thank you for purchasing from the World Vision catalog this Christmas!

Your response to giving gifts of love from the World Vision Catalog this Christmas was wonderful!

Our congregation did give gifts and will change lives. Altogether, adding up the “ornaments” hung on our tree, we gave approximately $3,000 to people and communities in need around the world!

We gave four families mosquito nets, four goats, multiple chickens, ducks and rabbits. Donations of medicines exceeded $550 and for clean water over $600! A child was sponsored for a year, and gifts were made for safety and hope for girls, Bibles, and seeds for families. Soccer balls were given to schools and money to educate a child.

And it’s possible we gave even more! Some may have contributed and not added their gift ornament to our tree in the Narthex.

Thank you all for your participation in sharing the true spirit of Christmas with those in need!

Making New Year's Resolutions?

Happy New Year from Christ Alone Church!


Are you thinking about some resolutions for 2011?  How about ...

• Committing or re-committing to reading your Bible every day?  Being in the Word regularly is critical!  How can I do this, you ask?  Jump in!  One way you can do this is by reading the chapters Pastor Ted assigns each week (which is posted here).  Another way is to use a good study devotional -- a good one to start with is Scripture Union ... quarterly, we offer the guides for sale.  Not sure if you can do a guide yet?  No problem!  You can have each day's devotion emailed to you!
• Coming to Alpha?  Preceded by a wonderful dinner and followed by meaningful interaction, the Alpha videos present the Christian faith in a way that stimulates and engages.  Are you or do you know someone who is struggling?  Do you or do you know someone who has questions about faith?  Are you or do you know someone who has come to a place where they’re hungering for things of the Spirit?  If so, then please come and/or invite them to join you on this course.  Their time will be well spent.  It begins in just two weeks, on Thursday, January 13, at 5:30 p.m., in Fellowship Hall.  If you think you can come, please call Pastor Ted (920-857-3231) so that the right amount of food may be prepared.  If you would like to hear the firsthand reports of our past participants, let us know.  And if you would like to peruse Alpha’s national website, please go to www.Alpha.org.  (Donny’s story is well worth the 2:49!)
• Joining the Adult Bible Study class (held during the Sunday School time, beginning at 8:30 a.m.) or a small group (or both!)?  Our Adult Bible Study has been studying the Book of Acts -- and it's not to late to join!  Our small groups study a variety of topics.  Talk to Pastor Ted or a Session member for more information.
