Good day @ The Ridge today as we continued our series “Love Handles: getting a GRIP on God’s design for marriage.” Today Jerry talked about Intentional Intimacy and how we have to have intentionality in our marriage if we want our relationship to grow in intimacy. He did a great job.
The band rocked face as usual. Kerry led and Michelle and Kendall did some great acapella harmony on “Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus”. Jason, Danny and Richard did fantastic as always. Kendall closed the set with an amazing rendition of “Oh How He Loves Us”. Wow!
Attendance was strong and up in the worship gatherings, but we were down a bit in the kids areas. Go figure that one.
Announced The Gift offering will be taken up on December 13th. All the details will be available next Sunday. The Staff & Stewardship Team are prayerfully putting together the details. I am excited about what God is going to do as we give our best gift to Jesus this Christmas.
Our Operations team did a fantastic job today. Set up went really smooth. Love these folks and their heart for ministry. Amazing effort each week. If you want to be a part of a great team that makes a difference each and every week, then Operations Team may be just for you! The tech team pulled off two great worship gatherings despite a ton of technical problems today. Great job guys…no one could even tell!
We wrap up this series next Sunday with “Protecting Your Valuables.” Remember if you miss any part of a series, you can download the podcast from our website. You can also subscribe to the podcast on i-tunes. For either of these go HERE.
We have some great community ministry opportunities coming up for Thanksgiving and Christmas as we are going to be helping our partner ministry Warehouse Of Hope with collection of canned goods. On November 20th we need folks to help pick up canned goods from 18 different schools in the area that have been collected all month. Then on December 5th we have a special community outreach opportunity to collect food items at Kroger on Ridge Road for WOH. We’ll also be giving away hot chocolate and have some jumpies for the kids. More details on how you, your family or your small group can be involved in this will be coming next week.
I’m able to type with two hands this evening, although not very fast. The broken arm is slowly getting more mobility. Still can’t move it much and still can’t lift anything with it. Thanks for the prayers.
Supervised the kids cleaning out the garage this afternoon. We have a family movie night tonight. After pizza we’re watching “Up” together. Thankful for the $1 movie box at Wal-Mart!
