Here are some going-on’s this weekend- hope you can join us for a few of them:

SATURDAY – Missio Day Kick-Off
The Moore family will begin giving ourselves to a hurting part of Sherwood/NLR this Saturday from 10-12 Noon. It is called Missio Day and will happen the first Saturday of each month. This effort will initially consist of cleaning up around Lake Cherrywood Park and getting to know the folks in the a…rea. As we invite theme into our beloved community to share in our work and meals, we trust that God will provide many opportunities to live out the way of Jesus and the good news of the kingdom of God. If you can make it, we’d love to know you’re coming. Just email me at mentalscs@sbcglobal.net or call 517-2024. Shalom, Jeff Moore

Give: The Bed Project would like to invite the body of R Street to participate with us as we share Christ’s love this season to Rachel and her three boys. Tonight we will deliver a couple of sleeper sofas that someone has generously donated. We’ve previously helped her with some donated kitchenware that we’d collected. Rachel and her boys have very little. She is working nights to support her family.

We thought it would be great to get the boys some clothes and some inexpensive gifts (a basketball, a board game, some books). We’d also like to provide some groceries for a Christmas meal for Rachel and her boys. We’d like to invite those willing to participate with us in spreading a little joy to this sweet family. We have but just a little over two weeks… time is of the essence.

Dasmine (11yrs) – size 14 pants, 16 shirt

Kyrone (9yrs) – size 10-12 pants, 12-14 shirt

Treshawn (8yrs) – size 10 pants, 11-12 shirt

For those wanting to participate with us, please email Becky (bklloyd@swbell.net) to let her know what items you’ll be getting so we don’t all get the same thing. Please bring your wrapped & labeled items to church on Sunday, Dec 20th. At that time, we’ll schedule a delivery to Rachel’s family for the 23rd or 24th.

So happy to share His love with others with you this season,

TBP

This Sunday you will have the opportunity to join in one of these meals and to get to know some of your R Street family members better.

Prayer Request

vineyardlr — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:51:30 +0000

Dear friends,

Linda Kimball informed me yesterday that she has been diagnosed with uterine cancer. Please join me in praying for her healing and recovery. She will go see an oncologist who specializes in uterine cancer this coming Tuesday, August 25th (the day before her birthday). Linda and Kirk are two of the most generous-hearted servants I know; obviously we want to stand beside them and serve them any way we can during this difficult season they are entering into. This Sunday at the end of the service, we will anoint them with oil and pray for healing. Please come with a heart willing to believe in a God who works miracles.

Sincerely,

Greg

WRITING WORKSHOP THIS SATURDAY

Join us this Saturday from 10 AM till 2 PM as Greg will be facilitating a writing workshop for R Street. We have been focusing on Redemption this month, and we would like to hear/ read your story. This is the first time Greg has combined what he does as a writing teacher/ consultant with church life, and he is very excited about it. Mark, Jerusalem, and Greg have talked about ways to respond to all of the writers/ artists/ creative types in our midst, and have many ideas for the future. This is just the first of many opportunities on the horizon.

Please do not be intimidated by the idea of a writing workshop. The purpose of this type of workshop is to make something that might be intimidating very simple and easy. Greg promises to walk you through a process that will be enjoyable and rewarding.

Molly McCaskill has graciously offered her home for our workshop (actually, it’s her parent’s home). Her address is 16 Pointe Clear Drive. Here is a link to a mapquest map.

We’ll have donuts, bagels, and coffe. Hope you can make it!

Sermons Back Online

Wednesday night is once again upon us, and we wanted to remind you of some opportunities going on in our community:

The Sweet Justice series continues this evening at Second Baptist Church downtown (5:45pm). Chris Ellis will be discussing the Millennium Developmen Goals and global poverty issues. The presentation will last about an hour, followed by dessert and advocacy/interaction time.

The Movies in the Park feature tonight is Shrek the Third, so grab a blanket, grab family and friends, grab a snack and head down to the Riverfront! The show starts at sundown (around 8:30pm), but we recommend getting there by 7:30pm to find a spot, find each other, or meet some new people from the community.
