Weekend Reflections:
CORE was great. Six churches partnered together to serve our communities. We had more than 70 people participate Saturday and Sunday in several work projects. Probably 500 total were involved in the work projects.
Leanne just moved to Mattoon two weeks ago. We washed and detailed her car Saturday. I hope she finds First Assembly or The Crossover as a place to call her church home.
Zach is in and out of Mattoon. I pray he finds a church community to be a part of as he moves in and out of different communities.
The little guy with a flat bike tire. I pray he remembers that Christians helped him out.May he have a positive perception of Christians as he goes through life.
THIS WEEK
I have a big freelance writing assignment due July 2. ...and I'm not done yet.

the church has left the building
Today and Sunday we are joining with six churches to serve our community.
CORE: Community OutReach Extravaganza
More than 400 people from six churches are working in food centers, mowing yards, washing cars, building houses, painting, handing out water, helping pack school supplies....and much more.
Sunday: NO CHURCH in the morning because we are serving out in the community.
Sunday evening at 5 p.m. the six churches are gathering together for a celebration service at Charleston High School.
Happy to be serving our community!

a WORD picture
This handy dandy text/design program (http://wordle.net) allows you to cut and paste a bunch of text from something, then it grabs the most used words and creates a "word cloud" out of the text.
From First Assembly's Family Room vision paper
From the Book of John, Chapter 3
Create your own. It takes just a minute to do.
Leave a link to it in my comments section so we can all take a look.
