Family of God,
I just wanted to remind everyone that God is at work all around us. The question is are we in tune with God. Yesterday, Brother Rick and myself had lunch at Panera’s. We talked about spiritual matters for over an hour. A lady at a table near us listened to our conversations. At the end see came up to me and asked for prayer and to say she was encouraged by our faith. Below is her email to me. Please join me in praying for Cathy’s prayer request. I consider this a divine appointment…I want to encourage you to look for these oppotrunities. If you let your light shine before men (She heard our words, saw are actions, witnessed our prayers, and as a result it created a God opportunity.) Never forget to let your light shine and be prepared and on the lookout for divine opportunities.
Our God is an Awesome God,
PC

Subject: Meeting at Panera – Niece & Husband’s adoption
Pastor McCombs,
I’m sorry about the way I reactacted today when I tried to speak with you about my niece, Lisa, and her husband, Mark, adoption of their son from from Ethopia. I just wanted to ask you to include them in you’re prayers. This whole process has been a long, difficult, joyful, prayerful journey.
Thank you for any prayers you and anyone else can offer them. God works in mysterious ways and prayer is always helpful. I have included a website detailing their journey.
Again, thank you for your prayers.
Cathy

Are you ready for some football!!!! Check out this wacky card to get you pumped up. I put this together to encourage and motivate the guys from Kent State who go to church with us.

Family of God,
I just wanted to let each of you know that Matt Fontenot has removed his name as our potential Collegiate Missionary and Associate Pastor. He has decided that God is leading him to international missions. Obviously we are disappointed, but also excited about finding the right man of God. The search team will press on and we wish the Fontenot family the best.

Family of God,
I enjoyed reTHINKING church with you on Sunday. It was only the beginning, but I hope we all opened our hearts to God to reTHINK Church so that we make sure we are doing church God’s way. The sad truth is many people leave church never to return. This is not necessarily our fault. However, we must make sure we do everything we can within reason to create a church that honors God and removes obstacles that may cause people to leave or not stay.
Please note that I am not saying comprise the truth…we never compromise the message of God’s ways, teachings or Gospel. But we can compromise on methodology.
I do believe the Broadman is a unique body of Christ. I believe we have established a church that honors God by connecting with God, creating community, and proclaiming God’s truth.
In the end may God honor our attempts to reconnect with people who have left church. We had a good showing. Whether they come back to stay or not at least we tried and for those we invited who did not come, we may have to move on, but in our hearts may we always be mindful and ready to reach out.
Blessings to all of you,
PC
Wayne and Melia we love you. You have blessed all of us here at Broadman. You are already missed.
I hope this card from the McCombsbunch will bring joy to your heart…from myself, Shawnetta, Samuel, Macy Joy and Savannah…enjoy the memories…you were a big part of our lives…we wish God’s blessings and best for you always!!!!!
