TOMORROW NIGHT! From 5 to 7 we are teaming up with the Jonesboro, police department, other churches, and some businesses to throw a community block party/trunk or treat right outside of our church! We’d love for you to dress up and come help!

Then afterwords stay and hang out in our college building for a game night!
I already have lots of chips and a lovely variety of dips to munch on as we play.

See you tomorrow!

Hey, tomorrow night, we are opening up the college building for you to come hang out, study, or whatever. We will also be serving pancakes for those of you who, like to eat that sort of thing. (You know, humans and such.)
We are starting at a regular time, 7:30 PM.
Hope to see you all there!

So instead of a “Sunday lunch” this month we are going to do a “Sunday Crawfish Boil” THIS coming Sunday, the 16th at 5pm behind the college building.
please let us know by texting Ric or posting in the GroupMe if you are planning on coming. We just need to know how much crawfish to get.
Hope to see you all there!

Jesus is the Creator of the universe. He is our Savior. Movies have been made about Him. Books have been written about Him. Buildings have been built in His honor all over the world. He is the Author of the best-selling book in the history of the world. He is, without a doubt, the most famous person the world has ever known. He owns the planet. He made the planet. The winds and the waves obey Him. He tells the oceans where to stop, lightning where to strike, and the sun how brightly to burn. He never sleeps, or even gets tired. He can walk on water and float on air. He has more money than Elon Musk, and gave Einstein the ability to read, write, and add. He not only knows how many stars are in the sky, He also put them there. Blind men can see Him, deaf men can hear Him, and mute men can speak with Him. He is immune to disease and can heal them with a thought. He is all-knowing, ever-present, all-powerful, and is never wrong about anything. Kings bow to Him and demons tremble and run away at the mention of His Name. He has no equal and there is nothing that He needs. He knows you better than your parents and loves you more than they are capable of loving anything.

THIS is Who said “Follow Me.”

And we can speak with Him daily.

This week is on prayer. And it’s not as quiet and boring as people make it out to be.

If we want God to move in us the way we see happening elsewhere right now, speaking with Him is a great place to start.

Hope to see you all tomorrow. 7:30pm.

*We will also be doing other churches/students/campus ministries to pray Thursday morning at 7am in from of the A-State student union for the National Collegiate Day of Prayer.

*And don’t forget about Abide Weekend this weekend!

THIS SUNDAY EVENING we are watching the last football game of the season (sigh). So come and join us at the White House. The game starts at 5:30 PM so it might be smart to get there around 5 PM. (You can come early if you want - we’ll put you to work.)
if you don’t like football, just come, hang out, play some games, and watch the commercials.
Just make sure you have time to fill out an entry sheet for the prize. We will be giving away at the end of the night. (They have to be turned in before the coin toss.)
Bring your favorite snack if you’d like (you don’t have to - we’ll have food).
See you then!
