Well we are back from Falls Creek and just finished rehearsing for 4th of July services. It is only right for satan to be mad and cause confusion in God's house. After all, we are doing what God wants so he will try to derail us.
To the Youth - I am so proud of last week and the great time we had worshipping, studying and just being in God's presence together. You are by far the best youth around and it reminds me why Steve and Terri love working with you. Keep up the good work and this year will be better than the last.
To the Music Ministry - You never cease to amaze me how you are there when I need you and hopefully I am there for you when needed. Tonight I was attacked in ways I couldn't explain and probably won't ever be able to explain but I know you are there for me. Denise and I love you guys and we will persevere one way or another. Remember this, what God has joined together let no man put asunder. I know He was talking about marriage but I also feel that is appropriate for us. God put us together and I refuse to let man tear it apart. I will stand as firm with you during these times as you have with me.
To Bro. David - There is only one thing I can say - You are the best!!! That includes Spirit-led, God-ordained, and my personal friend. Preach it the way it is and God will reward in ways sometimes we can see but also in ways we may not see. Remember what Jana said about your last sermon - WOW!
I love you all and look forward to Sunday,
Tom

We're All Back
What a great day in the house of the Lord today! With the majority of us back from trips it was great to be at full strength. And then to walk into a standing room only worship center in the middle of summer was an additional great surprise. As we went through the service I also realized we had many that were in vacation and to see SRO I wondered where would we put everyone in the fall. But I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
At the time of writing this it is 9:15 PM on Sunday June 20th and I am going to bed soon because a few of us are leaving at 4:00 am to go to Falls Creek. We will have the greatest year ever at Falls Creek not because of the numbers but because of the great sponsors and youth. When you here from me again I will be sharing with you the great things God showed us throughout the week. Check back on Saturday evening the 26th of June for a preview of what will be shared on Sunday.
As the summer progresses enjoy the vacations when you can get them but don't forget the business of the church goes on whether you are there or not. So that's right keep tithing and cover your teaching positions.
Have a great week and I will talk to you next weekend.

Another Year Is Over
As I sit and think back on this year's VBS a few things hit me. How is it that Aspen Park is so blessed to have the committed workers we have for VBS? Did we do all we could to plant seeds of faith and water them as the week developed? These questions and others ring through my ears as I think about the week.
I would like to thank a few people in particular for a job well done.
To Tami Dobbs - Thank you for your leadership and example of servant heart as you truly gave your all for the kids.
To Renee McCormick - Thank you for literally all you did. From teaching to shifting classes to help stall when class schedules were off. You were truly what I call velcro. Strong but flexible.
To All the Directors for persevering under changes and large classes you were great.
And a special thank you to Tina Brodie in how she guided the K - class. One 5 year old told his mother that this was the best time he has ever had and he was upset that it was over. Tina you are the best. Keep up the good work for our Lord.
Thank you Aspen Park on behalf of myself and BRo. David for your hard work and sacrifice as we attempt to raise this generation in the nurturing of the Word. May God richly bless all we do.
