As you read this, I am currently in Dallas, Texas waiting to board a flight back to the great, white north! I was given the privilege to attend and participate in my best friend’s wedding this weekend. It was truly a wonderful experience and comforting to know that God has plans for Greg and his wife. I hope one day you will receive the blessing of hearing this wonderful man of God speak in our congregation!
Today is a very special day for the Watertown Church of Christ and I am saddened that I am unable to attend. We have two wonderful speakers and a wonderful teacher leading the congregation in my absence. This morning, brother Christ Burkhart will be teaching Mark chapter 12 in our adult Bible class. This truly is a wonderful chapter of the Gospel According to Mark and will prove to have real application and insight for our walk with Christ in today’s culture. Sunday morning, Paul Slayko will be bringing our message concerning a very important part of Mark 9 and I know you will enjoy what he has diligently prepared. I have seen bits and pieces of this lesson and you are truly in for a treat. Last, but not by any means least, Joe LaClair will be bringing our Sunday evening sermon. I know we are always excited to hear Joe share God’s word with us and I look forward to this opportunity for you to be enriched by Joe’s study.
As you know, there are a few of us going to Honduras. What a wonderful proclamation for the Watertown Church of Christ to be sending some of its own to do the work of our Lord and Savior. If you would like to support those going to Honduras financially, see me (Josh) and I can give you more information next week. I know what a blessing this small, yet effective, group will be to the Hondurans. I have spoken with Wilmer (the Honduran director) and he is already planning for us and very excited about this trip! Please be thinking about how you can get involved and support our missionaries this summer! Also, remember to be encouraging those of us who are going and continually praying for us!
