A Word from
Pastor Jason
From the Pastor,
As I am hunkered down in a bunker
working on a sermon for the next Sunday’s message, I have the
privilege of being in a library by a window looking out at a
fountain spraying water on a beautiful day. God is so good to
us;even when we are faithless, He is faithful! Summer time is here
and each time these seasons change I am reminded that God is still
in charge and on His throne.
So far we have had a great month of May. We celebrated Mother’s Day
on May 9th with a time of baby dedication. The Lord blessed with the
dedication of ten babies. Thanks to the parents of all of those
children, and pray for them to remember this commitment that was
made to their children and to Almighty God. We also recognized all
of our mothers and celebrated what all mothers mean to us at SHBC.
On May 23rd, our GA’s had a time of recognition during the evening
service. Thanks to Kim Lovejoy and all the ladies that help out in
the area of Girls in Action. Thanks for putting your time and effort
into missions with our young ladies. God is rewarding and will
reward you gals in the future for all of your hard work and effort
for missions.
This Sunday, May 30th we are having what we have titled “Family Day”
during our morning service. After Sunday School, we are having all
families ( kids 3 year old and up) sit together for time of worship
and then after the morning service we will be having a lunch at the
fellowship hall. This is going to be a great time of fellowship for
our families. If you are by yourself then join a family for this day
of worship. Also, during the evening service we will be blessed by
our children’s choir as they perform their musical “Back at the
Creekbank.” Brother Jere has done a wonderful job getting these
children ready for this event. Let them know how much you appreciate
them by being here for this event and support them.
With the Summer months comes our time of Vacation Bible School here
at SHBC. This year’s theme is going to be awesome—Saddle Ridge. This
is going to be a cowboy theme, and I am looking forward to seeing
what all the teachers and helpers do for this week of VBS. Please be
in prayer for our new VBS director Kristy Lowe as she prepares for
this important week in our children’s lives. VBS will be the week of
June 6th-June 10th during the evening time. We will also be having a
Carnival and Parade on June 5th for our kickoff for VBS and also any
proceeds go towards our Kids Camp in August. Looking forward to an
exciting time in the life of our children department at SHBC.
On June 20th, we will be celebrating Father’s Day and also having a
men’s breakfast at 8AM in our fellowship hall. We are looking
forward to a great time of meeting with our men and also hear a
challenge to live as men and fathers.
Have you noticed that our resource center is back up and going? If
you have not then please stop by and check it out. Our youth are
taking this as a mission trip fund raiser as they “man” the center
each week. Check it out—it has some great books and other resources
for you or a friend.
Our library is starting to get folks in to check out books and even
videos that we have available. Thanks to Barbara Harris who has been
working hard to get this going and it is a blessing for our people.
Check out the library at SHBC in room #142 on the first floor.
Our live services are getting more and more people involved from
outside the church on Sunday mornings and evenings. The current
series that we are in seems to be getting people’s attention on the
basic idea of Walking the Talk. The Book of James has been and
continues to be a challenge as we study week in and week out. Please
spread the word about this ministry tool and opportunity. The whole
idea is to minister to those who are serving their communities in
the area of fire, police, and medical. Of course for those who are
out sick or are unable to be at the services for some reason, this
is a great tool as well. It is truly a blessing to hear of people
that tune in and are blessed and challenged in their Christian
lives. Send them to www.sharonheights.org for more information on
this tool.
We have also finished up our 13th semester of faith evangelism. The
Lord continues to bless this effort each week as we go out and share
Christ and minister to others in the name of Jesus. We will be
having our faith celebration on Sunday night June 27th at 6PM. This
will be when you have an opportunity to sign up for the 14th
semester which begins on August 19th. Hope you will pray about being
a part of this life-changing process.
I need to quit writing, but please pray about our nominating process
as we are working on classes and leaders for the 2010-2011 year, and
also please pray for our planning team and also about our old
building selling in the future. We have plans but we want God to be
the Master Planner!
Serving Regardless,
Pastor Jason
