Pastors Pen 3-21-10

Wow, Thank You to everyone who helped with the Vietnam Veterans Run Sunday evening and Monday morning, we had a great turn out and served about 100 bikers. If you missed it you missed out on a blessing. We had adults and youth working to feed and bless the riders, and as always they could not say thank you enough and neither can I. One of the riders, Myron Peterson, the president of the Chapter 404 of the Vietnam Veterans of America in Borger wrote us a note. He said, “Thank you all for your unselfish service. I’ve been enjoying your hospitality here in Childress since 2005. May God bless you all richly. Thanks Again, Myron.” He is just one of many who told us thank you. And I want to add my thank you to theirs, Thank You everyone for the way you step up, Morris and Carolyn, the food was great as usual, Ladies the pancakes were awesome and the fact that you were here at 5:30 am and cooking by 6:00 am made it work. Thank you to everyone who moved chairs one way or the other, set tables up or put them up, cooked food or served food, vacuumed the floor or picked something up off of it, greeted a biker, shook a hand or hugged a neck, without you Carey Baptist Church could not and would not show the love of Christ the way we do, you will never know what this means to me as your pastor. You make my heart swell up and my eyes fill with tears, you truly are the best. I love you and God loves you even more.
On a different note; Have you checked out the new web-site for the church? Its www.carey1stbaptist.com and it looks great, there is a page for all kinds of things, like Kidzone, reFuge, staff, photos, our ministries, the church calendar and for prayer. This is the page that I want to talk to you about. On the prayer page you can request prayer for someone; you just add in the info and send. It lets me know when a new name is added, when you write in the comments section, let me know if you want this name added to our church prayer bulletin or the web-site prayer page. Also I need to get anyone’s e-mail address or phone number who wants to get an update on these prayer requests. With this it will send you an e-mail or a text on you phone. So if you want to be added, please let me know.
