Children’s Ministry shares the Love of Christ on Valentines The Children’s Ministry of COTR created about 80 handmade Valentines cards recently. Our Children’s Directors, Charlene Owens and Angela Becker, then delivered those cards to My Sisters House, the Basset Center, and the pediatric floor of Nash General to be given to other children…. Those who received them were thrilled to know that others were thinking of them on this day… thanks for sharing the love of Christ!

Going after God’s Best… is worth having your toes stepped on!
This past Sunday, I began a new series about going after God’s best…. I warned early on that I might step on some toes in this one in an effort to make us reflective on wether or not we are living in God’s Best. Many confirmed after service that they had experienced significant toe pain during the morning worship! They also said that it did help motivate them to be open to changes during this series… Lets don’t sell God short, let’s go forward into His perfect will in all things this year. Second UNFILTERED Saturday Night Preview Service is coming on March 1st   We will have our next Preview service for our Saturday Night Worship Venue one week from this coming Saturday…. This Corporate Worship Venue has fellowship/coffee at 7:00pm followed by Worship and Teaching…. It is an alternative to Sunday mornings where the atmosphere is a little more casual and interactive… CHECK IT OUT! 

A Night at the Museum: Targeting people with the Easter Message  Can you believe that Easter is less than 5 weeks away! It is VERY early this year on March 23rd…. we will celebrate by turning our campus into a museum on  Friday- Sunday nights and having Easter Worship on resurrection Sunday at 8:00am and 10:20am…. Many have signed up to help, we will be contacting you in very near future, but start spreading the word RIGHT NOW! We hope to have promotional materials to you this Sunday. Pastor Richard

Do you have Your Armor on?
What an awesome word we heard from Donna Gallion on Sunday about the Armor of God!  As Donna went through each part of our Spiritual Armor, we were all reminded of how it is important it is to “put on” ALL our Spiritual Armor everyday. Please review your notes and live out this teaching.

Men’s Encounter- February 22nd   thru 24th
Calling all MEN! We need more men for our men’s Encounter… Guys, this is your opportunity to receive a spiritual tune-up, rebuild, or breakthrough, whatever you need… It is affordable (scholarships available)….. Don’t let the devil rob you from this time.

A Night at the Museum is Coming
Many signed up Sunday to help with this Easter outreach…. More details are coming.  You can sign up in the lobby this Sunday if you were not here last week.

Stay committed to the positive changes that you started going after for your life this year… Now is the time where our emotions wear off and it becomes a character and commitment issue to finish the things we set out to start or change in 2008… As the Holy Spirit said Sunday… ‘YOU CAN’T STOP!”  Stay the course and finish what you started for God with his help.Pastor Richard
