“As sure as God puts His children in the furnace he will be in the furnace with them”

- Charles H. Spurgeon

CORRECTION: Leadership training is April 26th

My apologies! Our last post said that our next training would be the 19th. This is NOT correct! Our next training is April 26th at 5:30pm. See you there, and sorry about the confusion! Click here for the corrected post.

Feel free to come to church on the 19th, though, since there will be a baptism services, and those are wonderful!

Teaching Notes for 4/15/09

Hey Guys,

Here are the teaching notes for 4/15/09.

I hope you are having a great week! Remember this:

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because he loves us.”

- C.S. Lewis

Leadership training, 4/26 (date corrected)

Hi all! Just wanted to remind you that even though we typically have leadership training on the second Sunday of the month, that's Easter Sunday in April, so our next training is April 26th instead. This is our last official training of the year, and we have a comprehensive feedback form for the year that we'll need each of you to fill out at that training. This is crucial, because we'll use this data to guide our planning for next year! (For example, we've already had some feedback that it would be nice to combine the Bible readings along with Student Ministries events on one calendar so students can have one place to look for both daily passages and important dates, and we're working on that for next year. What else would you love to see change - or continue - as we look toward the 2009-10 Refinery year?)

If you know that you have to miss this training, contact me (Shannon) or Mike ASAP with the reason for your absence so we can make sure we get your feedback before the training.

Hey Guys,

This is no April fools joke. I got the dates mixed-up and did not send these out because I thought this was a Refuge week. Please excuse my mistake and thank-you for your patience.

Here are the teaching notes for 4/1/09.

I hope you are having a great week! Remember this:

"The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines."
