I posted on the wrong page…

It was kinda funny…I thought I was posting in the right spot but instead I posted in the “About ” section….anyways.

I wanted to give ya’ll an update of how things have been going at Bethel. We just kicked off our Hand in Hand Sponsorship Program. It is designed to get our older member active in the life of our children and youth. We have sponsorship packets, similar to Compassion and World Vision Packets, that our members can take home. We ask that they commit to one year of sending monthly cards, praying for their child and a few other things. Please pray that this sparks something at Bethel. I do have one other prayer request. March 21st – I am taking a group down to Kiln, MS. We are struggling with keeping kids and adults motivated to go. I have had people bow out left and right (offering nothing but excuses) Now some students feel that because adults haven’t shown much or any interest at all……why should they. Please pray that God would move certain adult in our congregation to realize the importance of this trip and get the excited to be a part.

Hey everyone, it was good to see many of you today in Sterling.  It’s neat to see a group of people excited about helping the kingdom more than just their own church.  I think we are taking on a big challenge but really those are the only challenges worth doing (how’s that for a motivational line;)  Please feel free to see what kind of stuff we can do with this site and we can also post what info we find before our next meeting so we can kind of get a jump start.  Also feel free to link funny videos I’m always up for a laugh.

I don’t really have much to say but I just wanted to be a blogger today.

Hello Illinois!
