missions week

This is an exciting time of the year here at 1AGBN. Next Sunday is the start of missions week. We Will have missionaries with us all week and we are expecting to see records set in the area of faith promises.
Missions can change the life of a church and each of us as well. Some of my most memorable services have been mission services. We have activities planned for every age group in the church. Our Friday evening mission banquet will include classrooms decorated to reflect mission fields and our elementary kids will fly to South Africa. The kids will enjoy an in-flight meal and a movie. When they arrive in South Africa they meet with missionaries, Jeff and Abby Hunt (our daughter and son-in-law )for a kid's mission service. Please pry that we have a great week and that each of us will experience a move of God in our Lives.
Rachel (our youngest daughter who lives in Chicago)ran in the Chicago Marathon last weekend for World Vision. She did better than she had hoped and finished strong. I think her season is over having done several triathlons and a few other running races.
We are well, and blessed beyond measure!!! Pray for us, Larry.

THANKS

Penny and I have been overwhelmed with all of the emails and calls. Thanks for the support.
Please pray for our Special Touch Fall Retreat. The retreat is for people with mental disabilities who are high functioning. This is our fifth fall retreat. It's a fun weekend that includes four services, two worship bands, and lots of fun for all of us. Please pray for a safe and fruitful retreat, thanks, Larry.
