We just bought two new cabinets for our workroom in the offices. The good news is we don’t have to put our supplies on the floor anymore. The bad news is that the furniture is from IKEA, which means it’s in boxes and needs to be assembled. I will do what I always do with IKEA, try to put it together on my own and then, after a time of frustration, find the instructions. It’s always easier when we bring out the instructions. But unlike IKEA, life doesn’t always come with instructions.

In our series on Nehemiah, we’ve been talking about being people who follow our dreams of becoming difference makers. This week, we’ll see how Nehemiah gives us some bread crumbs to follow for success–instructions on how to be a great leader and people who get things done. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we continue to discover more truths from Nehemiah.

A great part of the series is what is happening on Tuesday nights. Community Nights have been a great success and a ton of fun. So many of you have jumped in to experience community. Let’s keep it going and finish strong in our last two weeks together. If you haven’t jumped in, it is never too late. And of course, I know this isn’t your motivation, but the taco truck will be back. Additionally the Dodger game will be on prior to our meeting, if they are still alive.

Now as much as I love Community Nights, I love the Harvest Carnival even more. Don’t forget, in two weeks (Oct 30), Sunday Together will be happening followed by Harvest Carnival. It will be a great time for all with a petting zoo, games for kids, fun food, and of course, our 3rd Annual Chili Cook-off! It will be a great day, so plan on being there and invite some friends. (FYI, the festival is immediately after our 10a service on Oct 30.) 


As always, it is great doing ministry and life together.

Blessings,
Jeff
