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.
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.
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!!!!!
In the aftermath of VBS 2009 I realize how profound this truth is in life…everything comes back to Jesus. I have also realized that this is one boomerang Satan wants to stop from getting back to us.
This truth is paramount to our culture…it is truth that Kids, youth and adults alike all need to here and learn.
VBS reminded me once again why Jesus said to bring the little children to Him, that it is better to place a milestone about your neck and jump into the sea than to make one of these little one stumble and why it is so important to come to Jesus with child like faith. VBS reminds me of what is really important for all generations.
I am more convinced than ever that VBS done with excellence can reach all age groups. It is all about living out child-like faith that Christ asks of us. This is something that kids understand and do naturally and it is something that youth and adults need to reconnect with so that is resonates in our hearts. Jesus is asking us to have child-like faith as we remember that in life “IT ALL COMES BACK TO JESUS.”
It is the morning of VBS 2009…we have prayed and workhard for this day to come. Now the journey across the great outback begins as we learn of the Great Barrier Reef, Syndney, Ayers Rock and much more!!! We will learn that it all comes back to Jesus in life…our eternal salvation and our very existence are dependent upon Him and Him alone…to Him be all Glory and Praise!
It is an exciting year. In 2007 we were ranked in the top 100 VBS in the nation…still something that blows my mind. Our 2008 VBS was even bigger…we had over 200 kids and over 350 for family night. Now it is 2009…I don’t know what will happen…I would love to see more kids saved at this years VBS than ever before. As of this morning we have 111 kids preregistered online (more than ever before) and we have 31 volunteers pre-registered. Thanks to all who pre-registered…you have a ticket waiting on you at registeration for boomerang express…all aboard.
Special thanks to Mary Regan for spearheading this years adventure and a big thanks to all who have sacrificed time and give a valiant effort to see this years VBS bring glory to God and excitement to all!!!!!
