Momica is still on maternity leave. Kevin should be there, although I haven't heard from him since he left church Saturday night for an 8:30PM to 4:30 ride-along-with-a-Peoria-cop shift. Assuming he survived I think he'll be back. Hoping Em will be there and assuming Pam will. Tim will be off to Australia/New Zealand for the next couple of weeks for work. Did any of you realize Tim is a nuclear engineer? Or is it nucular? Zach Van B has fallen off the planet, last I heard WI. Timberly, gone till January. We will survive.
We enter lesson #3 in the Experiencing God series. Our series long memory verse is Matthew 22:37 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind." Our story is Samuel & Eli, 1 Samuel 3, God calls out to Samuel. The bottom line for the lesson: God communicates to us so I can listen and talk to Him. The memory verse for just Saturday is Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to me and I will answer you." Pray for these kids and for God's help as you read the passage and prepare to lead them.

I was distracted from my duties as a team leader Saturday (specifically my duty of remembering to bring my camera and take great shots of the leaders). However, I snapped this pic Sunday morning when I went to a little gathering for worship and testimonies and teaching with this man Rev. Ben Tumuheirwe. What an encouraging couple of hours. That smile is a permanent fixture on his face, and it's sincere. He runs this place in Uganda. I really admire this guy and I was witness to an actual miracle involving him over the weekend. Has to do with a guy from Canton, IL and a Soy Bean Cow. You can google that, but you won't find it. I think I will explain the miracle in a separate post some day, and fill you in on the soy bean cow at the same time. Hope the suspense isn't too much for any of you.
