Thank you to all of you who showed up last night (regulars and guests). What you witnessed and participated in was Nazareth Baptist Church being the body of Christ. You (and almost the entire church) stepped up and sacrificially served another member - now that's what I'm talking about.
People were using their spiritual gifts. Young and old alike were working together to minister a fellow church member in need. It was fantastic. I almost teared up at a couple points - and that's not counting me being in that small, tight attic with rat droppings all around me. I almost cried then too, but I was truly touched by the servant spirit I saw in a lot of you. It spoke to me to see teenagers and elderly work together hand in hand, sometimes taking a moment in between carrying furniture out to give each other a hug. Man, that's Jesus up and down.
Keep that up. God is going to use you to turn Blacksburg and beyond around for His glory. I can't wait to see it!

NGU football game - Sept. 13
Next Thursday (Sept. 13 for those who didn't understand what "next Thursday" meant Sunday), Pam will be taking whoever would like to go up to North Greenville for the football game and Chasen concert. You MUST tell me if you are going by Sunday so I can buy the tickets. You also need to bring $10 to pay for food.
We will be leaving right after school on Thursday and will not be getting back home until around midnight, so let your parents know it will be late. It should be a fun time before the game. The parking yard (not lot, it's all grass) will be crazy with the band, tailgating, football, and a big church party bus with video games. The game should be exciting (Go Crusaders!) and will be televised across the Upstate of SC. The craziest and most fun thing might be the van ride home. (Here's hoping for someone to catch a cramp and yell for mustard - inside joke.)
If you want more information about what is going on that night you can go to CrusaderTailgate.com. If you want more info on Chasen, you can look at their MySpace page.

Extreme Interpretive Movement
This is one of the clearest, most profound illustrations of Jesus' love, grace and forgiveness I have ever seen. It makes me thankful for what He has done in my life.
