I recently read this quote from Henri Nouwen: “For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.” Tuesday, as I was eating lunch, I watched the pastor and some congregants of a Spanish speaking church in the Houston area rescuing people by boat. The English translation for the name of their church is “Power and Healing.” These Spanish/broken English speaking people made the power and healing of God very evident as they exposed themselves to many hazards to rescue folks who looked and sounded a lot like you and I. John
Sunday’s Message Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Message: “Rocks, Paper, Scissors” Tough as nails.” “Hard as a rock.” Those are metaphors for strength and sturdiness. God hardly ever seems to agree. Administrative Board meeting right after worship this Sunday to deal with charge conference materials.

Donna Morrison was happy the whole family was able to attend the baptism of their grandson last weekend.

Tonya Cross was happy that Sunday School for the children will resume at 9:30 next week. There will also be children’s church and nursery.
Thursday evening had a nice crowd for the nurse’s graduation ceremonies. Pastor John added that there are people out there who don’t know the Good News of Jesus Christ. Don Howland wanted to clarify it is our job to spread the word but not up to us to change someone.
The Circle of Grace meeting will be Tuesday evening this week at the church. Joe Blair announced that his grandson will be getting married next weekend. Marilyn Dague’s mother is 92 and her niece turned 16.

Tonya Cross has a knee replacement scheduled for September 5 and will be taking a while to recover. The church office will be closed and there will be no bulletin until she returns.

the people affected by the flooding. Sylvia’s brother is having surgery this week. Remember Joe Blair’s daughter in law. Judy Schlocchi just passed away, remember her family.

Michelle Lucarelli – HOC Guest Speaker
On Sunday September 17 Michelle Lucarelli,
will be our guest speaker. She will talk about the
new youth center the HOC is building.
The HOC announced in June the plans to
construct a youth center adjacent to our current
facility. Since the announcement, several people
have asked questions about the project.
Why are you building a center?
Do we need this? The needs of our community
and the growing ministry was explored and, it
was determined that the ministry the center
would provide working with children and youth
justified the expansion. .
What is in the center?
The youth center is 8,500 square feet and will
include, on the main floor a 1/2 court gym and a
gathering area. On the floor above the gathering
area will be an additional meeting area allowing
us to have more than one event at a time. The
gym floor will allow us to do a wide range of
activities that will include basketball, volleyball,
dance, drama and exercise/yoga programs.
Please visit our webpage at
www.houseofthecarpenter.com and click on the
youth center, the drawings are available there.
What is the cost?
The actual cost of the facility is $1,525,000. The
entire project which includes the cost of property
acquisition, demolition of property, architectural
and engineering fees, geotechnical costs,
surveys, permits and equipment to help support
the new ministry will make the project
$1,995,000. While a project of this size may
seem overwhelming, the HOC already has on
hand or committed nearly $1,100,000. The HOC
has begun raising money locally. You can
donate to the center by mailing contributions or
directly through the webpage.
When will this be built?
The Board of Directors for the HOC is a very
responsible leadership team. The goal is to
begin construction early in 2018 but this will only
begin if more than $1.5 million is committed. The
HOC does not intend to carry a mortgage for this
property. The HOC will be posting information to
keep everyone updated on the progress of the
center. Follow us on our webpage or on
Facebook. Rev. Mike Linger
