Special Singles Event... Becky & Roger getting married party!

Hey Singles,

This is Tom Fawbush and Doris White, fellow members of the Evangel Singles Group. We wanted to invite everyone to a special get together for Singles Group in honor of Becky and Roger’s upcoming marriage. This will be special time to celebrate their engagement and wish them well. Becky has been a special blessing to each one of us in the singles group so this will be a wonderful opportunity to thank and bless her and Roger as they prepare their new lives together.

The get together will be at the singles Roger Hoagland’s house on Friday, October 30^th at 8pm. However, before hand Jed Smock will be sharing and ministering for the scheduled home group meeting that evening from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. Jed has been a campus crusade preacher for 30 years. He is well-known nationally and has spoken at Evangel on a number of occasions. Jed was single until he was 40, and can certainly relate to issues of Christian singles. He was also a college professor and is a dynamic speaker. He has a great anointing, so you won’t want to miss him!

Roger Hoagland’s Home

10225 Bardstown Bluff Road

Friday Oct. 30 8pm. (or 6:30pm to see Ed Smock)

Afterwards, there will be chili, snacks, and hot apple cider to enjoy around a bonfire as we wish Becky and Roger best wishes for their future life together.

Some have asked for gift suggestions for Becky and Roger. Gift cards to Target or Walmart, gift certificate to any restaurant, or a Visa gift card. Gifts are not necessary, just your presence. Or a card with heartfelt note will be great!

Devotional : The Dry and Dusty Wilderness....and...Reminder: Jed Smock Friday Oct. 30

Looking forward to joining you all at the source group tomorrow night Thurs. Oc.t 15 at 7:30 in the foyer of Minors Lane campus. Bring your Bible. Here's some highlights for discussion:

The Dry and Dusty Wilderness read pages 33-36 "One in a Million"

Read Ex. 13:17-20 , Ex. 14:1-4, Isa. 55:8, Jer. 10:23, Job 42:5, Psl 145:17

When the Israelites left Egypt, they probably figured it would take about a month to arrive in Canaan (about 150 miles). Instead, they were led by God into a wilderness. How would you have felt if you were in the sandals of a Hebrew? They were in the desert on foot when a more convenient route obviously existed. They camped in Etham to prepare for their journey. The author equates Etham as a place where God gives a vision of what's coming. It’s a place to consider the challenge ahead. Perhaps He is asking you to stay in a rough marriage, to mother difficult children, to accept singleness, to choose full-time ministry, to let go of friendships, to suffer illness for a season, or to navigate a situation we feel we can't survive. It seems that we don't know the details of the life God is choosing for us at this time, but a quick look at the tumbleweed blowing across the landscape could be an indication of a dry place ahead…Are you camped at an "Etham" right now?

God's ways are not our ways. When you look at the Israelites journey, we now understand that travel through the wilderness protected them from military encounters that would have sent them back to Egypt. They witnessed so many miracles of God's provision and protection. Read I Peter 1:6-7 for insight on trials and their purpose in our lives.

Look at Job's story. He was a "blamesless, upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil". The pupose is found in Job 42:5…as Job says "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You." At this point, Job said that his relationship with the Lord went from one based on hearsay to one grounded in experience.

Think of a situation in which you "saw" God because of a wilderness experience. Don't be afraid of God's plan. "The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds." Psl. 145:17

See ya Thursday!
