Clarence in October

Howdy, Folks,

It’s that time again when your friendly church mouse sounds off about all that’s been goin’ on for the past month.

First off the ladies had a great retreat in Arkansas. Peggy Sue went, and she said it was great. A big “well done” for Heidi and Heather. Thanks, girls, for your effort.

Then we had a good Back-to-Church Sunday. We had about 260 and a lot of visitors. You folks really did your job of invitin’.

We started servin’ pizza on Wednesday night to help all those mothers who work so maybe they won’t have to rush supper to get to Church. This Church mouse thinks this is great because I love to eat, plus I love pizza. And we have more people comin’ to our Wednesday service.

God is really blessin’ our Church family. That’s mainly because we are doin’ His work and workin’ as a family of God. One thing I would like to speak about, if you would permit me, is what Truman preached about Sunday, about how so many Christians don’t come to church on a regular basis. Folks, if we love the Lord, and I’m sure we do, we need to show Him our love by bein’ there Sunday mornin’ and Wednesday, if possible. When we are in need, we call on the Lord and expect Him to take care of our needs but don’t want to do anything for Him. The biggest part of bein’ a Christian is discipline, and also when people see you goin’ to Church, that’s part of our witness. So, folks, as you show your love for Christ, please let’s make a “commitment to be in Church every Sunday”.

Well, Peggy Sue just said that’s enough. She said I’m not a preacher just a little ol’ church mouse!

So until next time, remember all those who are sick and need our prayers. Also pray for Truman, Justin, Jacob, Linda and Bob Heath. Also don’t forget to thank Bob Heath for his commitment to God and all he has done for Villa Heights.

Remember, Peggy Sue loves you, and so do I

Blessin’s,

Clarence
