wow...amazing week!

we have had a very busy week. lots of planning for Gods kingdom! we just met with some of our childrens ministry team this morning and got some great ideas. lots of good stuff to build teams, promote ministry, and most of all impact some young children for Jesus! We also met about an upcoming event we are going to do for some very special children in Clay county. we will be hosting the first annual Celebrate Kids Day which will be a great kids event where we will be raising the awareness of the Foster care system here in Clay county! we are very excited to do this. this is going to be a great opportunity to make an impact in these childrens lives and the community around them. The bible in James chapter 1:26-27 states If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless. 27Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. it is imperative that we reach out to the downtrodden. we can no longer be satisfied trying to just get a name out, or try to reach people that can benefit the church through service or money, but that we turn our attention toward the ones no one else will. the forgotten in our foster care systems. the poor. the widows. the homeless. and the list goes on. so i hope as this event and many more to come happens, I pray that you too will answer the call to see lives changed not by a name of a church or a clever marketing scheme, but a genuine love for the gospel to be taken to the ones Jesus intended to reach in his ministry. Jesus said I come to seek the lost and heal the lame. he also sent Johns disciple back to him stating the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. So lets reach those the world forgets about and impact their lives for eternity! If you would like more info on how to get involved please email toddndee@celebration.org Thanks and God bless!
