Servant Evangelism Project


Hey Calvary! Obviously you made it to my blog.

Here's what I'm looking for from you. Spend a few minutes thinking about how Saturday went for you and your family. Talk to them about what they think. Then write a few sentences here about what the experience was like. Here's a few ideas to get you started, but you certainly don't need to just answer these.

- What were your thoughts going into the project? Scared, excited, resistant, nonchalant?

- As you were passing out the batteries, did you find yourself engaging with people, or standing 'on the sidelines'?

- As you got part way through your batteries, did you feel more or less fear? Did you feel yourself getting more excited about the project? Why?

- What were some of the responses of the people you 'showed God's love to in a practical way'?

- How do you feel now that the project is over? Would you do it again?

- Do you have any creative ideas for doing Servant Evangelism projects on your own?

Feel free to post any of your thoughts. If you have any problems drop me an email at cartersfour@impulse.net.

And thanks for being part of showing God's love in a practical way to over 300 Lompoc families!

The Pursuit Has Begun!


So the new series-- The Pursuit-- began last Tuesday night.

Remember the dates:
--October 21st for High School, that's when the game portion of The Pursuit begins. Between now and then you need to bring $5 to LIFE to sign up. You'll get your name and your gun October 21st.
-- October 25th will be for JH only. Laser tag at the church. Sign-ups will happen the 2 weeks before and the cost will be $1 (to cover batteries).

The other thing I'm looking for in this space is to hear your stories about being pursued by God. Talk about a time when you definitely knew God was after you. Or what about a time when you were after God? What things do you do to pursue God? Ever caught him? What was that like?
