Bro. Jack Nabors

What a great blessing it was to sit under the teaching of Bro. Jack Nabors. When the decision was made to have him step in for our Pastor while he was on vacation I knew this would be a great day. He has a heart full of compassion but the fire is still burning intently for the lost. As the morning message progressed he became more directed at Heaven and how we need to view ourselves and our friends.

Then in the evening service he spoke to "home folk" about not giving up but stay the course and get to work. This topic is one that most ignore but the timing was truly God. Since Sunday I have heard from a number of people that Bro. Jack was speaking straight to them. In fact I even talked to someone that heard something so totally different than what I heard that I can only respond with "That's God saying what He wants to individual people". Bro. Jack reminded us that God has His own accounting system and He keeps books His way.

I am so glad God is in control of things. They get too complicated and busy for me. Thank you Bro. Jack for teaching us what God has already told you.

Mission Weekend

This past Sunday we experienced missions in action. Bro. Arnie from Towanda challenged us and encouraged us at the same time. He shared what God has shown him for Towanda and is allowing us to partner with him in the great things God has in store for that community. Harvest House ahs a bright future but our question is simple. Does God want us to partner and be involved personally with Harvest House in these days.

Aspen Park I encourage you to lift up this question to our Heavenly Father and wait upon His answer. Have a great week and I will see you at His house this Sunday.

16 Years

Yesterday we celebrated our Pastor and his wife being at Aspen park for 16 years. What a blessing. Over and over we hear about churches firing, pushing out or just not liking their Pastor and we have been so blessed by a Godly man for 16 years. Great job Aspen Park for staying focused on God's task and not just what we like.

But where do we go from here? What are we going to do for the next 16 years? Under God's leadership through Bro. David the future is bright. God continues to grow us numerically, spiritually and together as a family. Don't ever take that for granted. Cherish your Christian family and pray for them daily.

Have a great week and know that God has great plans but there's one question. Are you going to be a part of those plans?

Great Events

After a tremendous See You at the Pole concert it is time to look ahead. This past week Gabriel Peter and his band presented a great concert that rocked the roof literally. The youth and adults that attended thouroughly enjoyed it and we look forward to the next time we bring Gabriel in.

As we look ahead here are the highlights.

Oct. 8 - Recognition of 16 years of faithful leadership by our Pastor. Join us in the 10:30 am service as we recognize Bro. David and Billie and share with them how much we love them.

Oct. 15 - We are bringing in Bro. Arnie and Peggy Johnson from Towanda Pa. to get to know us and share what God is doing in Towanda and the surrounding area. He will be sharing God's Word and Ministry to us in both the 10:30 am service and the 6:00 pm service.

Oct. 29 - 5th Sunday - You know what that means "POTLUCK TIME". Bring that food (especially the chocolate pies) and let's join together for a family potluck meal.

Lots happening - don't miss out!
