A successful House 2 Home service day in Carbon Canyon

I wanted to personally thank Larry, Hildy and Eric for giving time to help a family of CCV with getting their house transformed into a home.  We showed up at the project with about 10 other volunteers from CCV at 9am on Saturday morning and got working right away.  While Larry and Hildy helped prep and paint the living room  Eric was in the master bedroom helping to figure out the structural issue behind a sagging floor.  I was getting one of the bedrooms ready for laying down laminate wood flooring.  After the painting was done Larry and Hildy moved right into the bathroom to start laying the new floor being put in there.  Larry and Hildy had to leave mid afternoon so Eric jumped right in to finish up the bathroom floor which came out really nice.  Eric showed much patience in working in a small space with no room for error since he had a limited amount of material to finish up the floor.  I do have to say I was quite impressed with how perfect that bathroom floor came out .  Good job, Eric, Larry and Hildy.  When Eric and myself left the project at 4:30 after a long day of hard work by all CCV volunteers we finished up flooring in two bedrooms, one bathroom and all of the texturing and painting of the living room/kitchen and got the master bedroom ready for the new sub floor. 

CCV House 2 Home ministry surprised the family with bunk beds for each of the bedrooms so the kids could sleep on real beds again instead of sleeping bags on the floor.  House 2 Home is a great ministry at CCV that is really doing the Lords work on providing much needed help to the community around our church.   Great job CCV and Maranatha Life Group.

Breakfast, old friends, new friends and our coming year.

Good food, good friends and a great start to an exciting new year for the Maranatha Life Group. We really got in a good meeting about what we are going to be studying this new year in our life group. To recap what we all talked about on September 11, we are going to start our year next week back in room 117 at Life Bible College at 10:00 AM. We will start the morning off with donuts brought by the Dan and Karen. Then we are going to discuss the Study in Isiah that Robert will be starting in about 7 weeks or so. We will then go into a time of prayer lifting up each others needs before the Lord. We know as a group of believers that communing with God through prayer is a very important part of our walk. I will be posting the weeks prayers here online every week so everyone can participate daily in the needs of each other with prayer. We know that God does listen to our payers and have ample proof of that fact just with the prayers we have seen answered in this group over the years.

The first series we will studying this year is the Doubt series that will be preached each week by Pastor Jeff. We will follow up the Sunday after each message is given with our own in depth look at what Gods wants us to gleam from this message. I know we have all had some doubt or know someone that have expressed doubt in this walk we call Christianity; well this message and life group study is for you because Pastor Jeff and then John and Larry are going to tackle these issues that cause us or our family and friends doubt. This doubt can keep us or them away from the true walk in life as Christ followers. Don't miss Pastor Jeff's message these 6 weeks and our own in depth study because this could be a life changer.

I also wanted to welcome our new friends Larry and Bonnie Marsh to our group and hope you all will make them fell welcome.

Our group will meet for the first time September 11 for breakfast

Hi everyone, I know I have slacked off on this web blog for the last year or so but I am back and excited about growing our group bigger and closer. We have many things planned for the new year but you have to come to breakfast to help us plan activities and what service project we are going to do as a group. Keep the morning of September 11, 2011 open so you can plan on joining us. Once I find out where and when I will post the information on this blog and also an email will go out. I look forward to seeing everyone again.
