From docamadeus at gmail.com Sat Sep 4 10:15:16 2010 From: docamadeus at gmail.com (Adam Myers) Date: Sat Sep 4 10:15:24 2010 Subject: [US10:25] Weekly Ministry Update Message-ID: Hey US! A delayed update coming from sunny (and fortunately out of the path of the hurricane) South Carolina. I definitely have learned a lot about God bringing you through things this weekend. Having come down to help with a family matter for my sister, I have now been to the hospital twice in 24 hours for kidney stones, and finally feeling better. A few insights I gained from this: God definitely is a great healer (and he's gifted a lot of individuals in the ER), God can use anything to His purposes (my family is really rallying together), and... knowing that the pain I faced was nothing compared to the pain of Christ on the cross, I am humbled even more to know that Jesus endured that pain to save us. What an amazing God. And now... lots of content ahead, so here it goes. EVENTS Picnic at Prophetstown - Saturday, September 11th Man 2 Man featuring Rob Eyman as the speaker.
