Thursday’s Thoughts from Will 11.11.2021

Great rehearsals last night. As I said last night, I feel like we’re finally ready to present “Come to the Mountain” Sunday. I can’t wait to finally hear it all together. Just in case you haven’t listened to it, here’s a recording (they tag “Total Praise” at the end…we will not).

DEVOTION BOOKS COMING IN MID-DECEMBER
I mentioned last week that everyone actively participating in our music ministry will receive a FREE copy of a devotional book that I am included in around mid-December. I’ve purchased several extra copies if you wish to buy some for Christmas gifts. The book retail costs $22, but I can get them at the author’s rate of $10 a copy. If you wish to reserve some copies for yourself, please e-mail Jana at music@icbcga.org. I need a final count by November 14th, so don’t delay.

We’ve got a fairly busy schedule in the next month so please be sure and catch all the dates here. I’m excited about all the possibilities of ministry in the coming weeks. Please join me in prayer for these opportunities to share the gospel.
