I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. - Psalm 122:1

We started with a shooting competition

I wasn’t the only one with a camera

I just happened to snap the right photo at the right time to get this cute shot

DANGER!! DANGER!!

Yes, I actually shot a gun! *gasp*. It had been about 7 years since I shot a gun, but I actually tied with Pastor Lovett for 1st place

So we had to have a shoot off, but since I was under pressure this time I didn’t win the shoot off.

Cutest baby at the Reformation Celebration, or in the world for that matter!

There was a “Diet of Worms” for the kids…

The challenge: eat the “dirt” and “worms” without hands.

No hands? no problem!

Mission accomplished

All participants got a “marshallow shooter”

And there was a cookie competition

Pastor Lovett will begin this series by going through the Apostles Creed, line-by-line and considering both the theological and practical implications of this historic creed. The Apostles Creed contains the essentials of the Christian faith and is the oldest existing creed we have (dating back to the 2nd century), and churches of different stripes use it regularly to profess the faith of Christendom.

We will be investigating what different phrases in the creed mean, and will spend some time discussing what is perhaps the Creed’s most controversial line, “He (Christ) descended in to hell.”

This study is open to all and we hope you will join us. We will be meeting at Studio D on the Centerville Square.

Dear Readers,

I want to let you know about a most heinous piece of legislation called “The Freedom of Choice Act” (FOCA).

FOCA has many sponsors in both the senate and the house, notable (and telling) are such sponsors as Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator John Kerry, Senator Joseph Lieberman, President Elect Barack Obama, Representative Rahm Emanuel, and many many more in both the senate and the house.

FOCA would establish abortion as a fundamental right (like the right to free speech) and wipe away every restriction on abortion nationwide. It will eradicate state and federal abortion laws that the majority of Americans support and prevent states from enacting any protective measures in the future.

I encourage you to contact your representative, and your two senators and ask them to oppose this heinous, God despising bill! I believe there are many more people against this than for it, but the problem we face now is the same problem we have faced on many occasions, which is apathy and inaction by Christians. There are many liberal activists for this bill, but many more who should be actively opposed to this bill that need to take a stand! Let your representatives and senators know (liberal or not) that if they vote for this bill that you, their constituents, will not re-elect them! Or if you know they are opposed, thank them, and affirm your support against this bill.

Our voice needs to be heard!

Contacting your representative and senators is very easy, and can be done online. I know they pay attention to these forms of communication because I have received acknowledgement on more than one occasion.

Here is the form for contacting your representative: https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

And here is where you go to contact your senators: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Please also visit http://www.fightfoca.com, to sign their petition and find out more information.

And please pray for our country!

I suppose this is an easy one for me to do since I really hate McDonalds food anyway and already mostly avoided it.

I know we have to pick our battles, but it looks like this boycott is gaining momentum…

I realize that probably every major food chain has some problem or other but maybe this will send a message, and McDonalds is being very open and flaunting this one right in our faces.

I listened to an awesome sermon this morning by Pastor McDonald that I wanted to share with you all:

The Baptized Household

Go and Listen!
