Back on Track

Two weeks and a hurricane later, I'm writing again. Hurricane Ike destroyed, damaged and disrupted many. Last Sunday in worship, with no electrical power we gathered and worshipped God for seeing us through it, caring for us and just being God through it all.
It was Sunday, September 21st when we jumped back in to our study of Mark. We explored chapter 5.
This week I will blog highlights and study for chapter 6 and then on Sunday morning, Sunday night and Monday night September 28-29th we welcome Dr. Derrick Noble to be our Revival Preacher as he carries us into Mark 9-11. Derrick is founding pastor of Impact UMC in Pt Arthur which is set to launch in early 2009. Before moving to Pt Arthur, he served the Abundant Life UMC in Lufkin, where that church experienced dramatic growth in worship and in the making of new disciples of Jesus. If you are a Woodville UMC member and participated in the home small group study on the 5 Practices of Fruitful Congregations book, Derrick and Abundant Life Church were featured in the DVD section on Passionate Worship. Derrick is a gifted preacher, teacher and overall spiritual guide. I'm looking forward personally to hearing him preach and coming to know Jesus in a deeper way through Revival 2008.
