Sunday review

Sunday was awesome at Foothills Community Church. We continued our Family Wipeout series. I spoke on the art of communication. No doubt communication is the key to healthy relationships.

The 4 main components of communication are:

1) What I hear (being a good listener is the most important part of communication)

2) What I say (choose words that encourage, bless and edify)

3) How I say it (be extra careful with the non-verbal communication such as body language, facial expressions and tone)

4) When I say it (timing is everything)

If we can master these 4 things we will enhance every relationship we have.

Other thoughts:

* The music was excellent. It was cool having David Odom and Adam Courtney tag-teaming leading worship!

* Stephanie did an amazing job leading us during her song!

* Shane Smith's team does a great job with all of the technical aspects of our services

* Foothills has the most incredible volunteers!

* We have had almost 100 people give their lives to Jesus in the last 9 weeks!

* This Sunday I will be tackling a very difficult topic. How To Avoid An Affair. I can't tell you how many marriages I know that have been destroyed by infidelity.

* We had around 40 people show up for our Project Reach family day last saturday, serving at the food pantry! Wow!

* We have a team of 14 people heading to Harlan County Ky. this weekend to serve on a Project Reach regional mission trip!


Some dates to remember:

* Thursday October 27th at 6:30pm. We will be celebrating the Lord's Supper at our Seneca campus.

* Sunday November 6th from 12:30pm until 2:30pm we will be having our next Get In the Game Class. Lunch and childcare will be provided.

* Thursday November 10th at 6:30pm. Our annual Dream Team Celebration. This is our annual celebration honoring every person that has served at Foothills during the last 12 months. Our staff gets to serve the volunteers as a way of saying "thank you". This is a blast. I believe that we will be having karaoke again this year! Desserts will be served and childcare will be provided.
