The Snow Dance Part Two

Either I was not paying attention or the weather men got caught totally off guard. There is more snow in our part of Charlotte today than we had two weeks ago. However, I should have known it was going to snow last night. All night Brady was telling us it was going to snow and he was going sledding again......because he had done the Snow Dance. Once again his older brother was telling him he was crazy! I thought he was being silly......he knew he wanted some snow.

The roads from my house to the church were not bad but had more ice than last time. They say it is not suppose to get warmer than 34 today. We will see. As for tonight's Team Kid and Pursuit we are going to cancel all scheduled events and programs for tonight. Please help spread the word ASAP! Also, this info will be on our website Teamchurch.com


This Sunday is our 2nd Service Project on our 10-Year Anniversary Service Tour. We will be stuffing a school bus with school supplies for the kids at Indian Trail Elem School that are in need of supplies so that they can finish the school year out strong! Please bring what you can this Sunday and help us make a huge impact in these kids lives.

Also, be looking for more details on the next 8 projects! This anniversary Service Tour idea is revolutionary and God placed the effort in our hearts last summer.....knowing that 2009 would be a tough year for many of the organizations and schools we are serving. We are getting to be "The Church" as talked about in the New Testament at a time when we each need the other. As I stated on Sunday... cool videos, great music, great teaching, creative kids ministries and gourmet coffee is a wonderful thing. However, in and of themselves, none of these makes a personal difference in the lives of people who are hurting during the week. "Being the Church" is something that happens everyday and not just on Sunday. I am so glad we get to celebrate our 10 years as a church this way in these times. Remember...Real Love is a action not a warm fuzzy feeling....it is what you do. We have always been a church that acts and I "love" that about Team Church.


Here is what Jesus said:

"Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

The King will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

They also will answer, Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?

He will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."

Matthew 25:34-45
