The Mayor

I met with our Mayor on Friday to find out what we as a church can do to help out Meridian. The Mayor's office has already started a huge campaign for the "faith based community" to partner with them to make a positive difference in our area, but they're having a hard time getting churches involved. The mayor was very appreciative (and slightly surprised) that we contacted them instead of the other way around. I think in the future it will be very very easy to do things with and for the city.
We had Bible study number 5 last night and our biggest attendance yet, 19.  I'm always hoping for more, but the graph is moving in the right direction. We finished up our study on the sermon on the mount.  I challenged us to pray for something big that only God can do. I'm excited to hear about what he does.

Enjoy reading about what God is doing through you and your ministry team in Meridian!
Meeting with the mayor? What a wonderful and mind-numbing move! The mayor had to be dumbfounded! "What are those Christians up to anyway?"
God is doing some interesting things! He always does!
