We just wrapped up our monthly staff meeting and I am overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude for the privilege to serve on a team that is so earnestly seeking direction from God. Daniel Godfree (our Executive Pastor) challenged us to begin praying for humble and submissive spirits as we (as a church) pursue God and His plans rather than our own. He reminded us that His plans are always immeasurably more than we can ask. . .or than we can even imagine.

We'd like to ask you to also pray for us. Pray that we will be open to whatever God calls us to and that, as a staff, we will truly live lives worthy of that calling. I think I can confidently speak on behalf of the entire staff when I say Thank You for the chance to serve God here. It is so exciting and humbling to see Him at work daily. . .and to anticipate what He will do in the days to come.

(By the way, the photos are also from this morning. Before staff meeting, Darlene & Buddy Lail cooked a delicious breakfast for the entire staff. The food was amazing and it was just a great time to sit and laugh together. The Lail's even made a special breakfast just for Keith, as you can see below.)
