Celebration Midweek - August 27

"Complacency is the deadly foe of spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ in his people." 

AW Tozer wrote this in 1948 in his book "The Pursuit of God" and it still rings true today. Thirsting for God precedes growing in your relationship with him. I encourage you to seek him with focused pursuit, with serious intent, that you will starve without him!

1. Annual Carnival, Saturday, September 27, 1:00 PM - This is one of our best outreach events. Sign up for dates to pass out flyers, donate candy, and work at one of the stations.

2. Iron Man Men's Group - Starts up this fall on Tuesday, September 9 at 7:00 PM. Men, this is your group!

3. Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser - Save Saturday, October 4 for this event and invite a few friends too!

4. Mudders Needed! - If you can help mud drywall at the Community enCompass home rehab at 1264 Fifth St, please contact Kimi at 231-288-9403.

5. Prayers - Please add these to your prayer list:
- Jim Ring's dad fell and broke his hip. He also has gall stones.
- Thanks for great summer memories and great growing opportunities too!
- For our country including its leaders.
- Darla Baird's mom, Lillian Johnson, who had surgery on Tuesday to have cancer removed from her face (eye/nose area).
- Thanks for Matt's pastor friend Mark Niewsma who is recovering from open heart surgery in July.
- For Christians around the world that are suffering and being persecuted.
- Thanks for the blessings that God has showered on us!
- Pray for the Celebration family and friends.
- Mike Cerminaro's Aunt Pat had surgery to determine whether her cancer has returned.
- Lisa & Darrold Pellogrom, friends of the Baird's. Darrold recently found out he has an issue with a valve in his heart that will most likely require open heart surgery.
- Pam Williamson's neighbor Sandi is home and doing well after open heart surgery.
- August 31 is Hannah DeJonge's birthday. This is Rob's daughter.
- Pray that we might be able to leave give ourselves grace. It is tough for some to let the past stay in the past and move on in life with Jesus.
