Only God

Wow,

Only God, that's all I can say, Only God. This past weekend was amazing.
It is a joyful privilege to see God at work in our midst. The Point was packed for our evening worship service. And it was so cool that after we talked about "Give us this day our daily bread," that we were able to place some of God's abundant blessings into the hands and stomachs of some of our neighbors. Thanks to all who helped in so many ways to make The Point a safe and welcoming place to so many. Btw, don't forget to count your shirts!

How is your walk with God going? I want you to know you have a loving Savior who cherishes you and wants to spend quality time with you. And I want you to know that when we dive into his Word he meets, encourages and transforms us. I read 1 Peter this morning (yep, the whole book - only five short chapters) and there is just so much good stuff for our lives. For example it speaks of our inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. That is quite the concept for those of us who live in a disposable society. It speaks of our value as it reminds us of our purchase price - "the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. And that God's word, the absolute truth, stands forever. And that is just in chapter 1. I encourage you to make 1 Peter your devotion time with God this week. Read it. Reread it. Pray through it. And why not commit a verse or two to memory as well. The word of God is living and active so why not go on an adventure with Him!

Jesus Cares was very cool on Monday evening. Abby and Jeff were able to make some really cool connections not only with the residents but also with the workers as well. Soon we will be holding a training session to equip those interested in being involved in this ministry. So keep your eyes and ears open for that.

Postcards were sent out to all the freshmen that we have names of. I can't wait till they get to campus and see Jesus here!

Mark you calendars for the Welcome and Welcome Back picnic. The date is Sunday September 13 at noon at Lake Park.

Most if not all of the footage for the DVD was completed this past weekend. Now comes the editing. We need your prayers for that because we have close to five hours of footage that we need to edit down to about 5 minutes. Yikes.

Kale Donovan made it home on Sunday!! What a blessing! God we pray that you would continue to do the marvelous and the miraculous in his life and in the life's of his family.

One final thing: Did you hear?! The Special Announcement. For the second year in a row, The Point of Grace was awarded the Best of Milwaukee Places of Worship! Only God! Only God!

Have a great week with Jesus. I look forward to seeing you this week as we get involved with Mission Impossible!
