Rick Johnson called the Museum and talked to the director and he gave him a direct telephone number to Julie who takes care of the tours. H left her a message to call him back and reserve our group to have Andy (Will Rogers Interpreter) greet us.
Rick will compose a flyer for this event within one week from today.

These events are designed to serve a two-fold purpose. 

• First, they supply much needed social interaction which is vital to our spiritual well-being. 
• Secondly, they serve as an outreach effort to reach the lost of our community. The success of these presentations and outings are enhanced by the number who attend.  Many are taking advantage of this outreach efforts. I want to encourage each of you think of someone you can invite and bring them along. Who knows, maybe their precious soul will be saved because of your sacrificial efforts.

Building Community!

It has been said, “Insomuch as anyone pushes you nearer to God, they are your truest friend.” Relationship building is vital part of the SAM’s ministry. Understanding one another leads to a stronger bond with each other and with God. All of this “pushing & building up” one another is done through brotherly love. Here a a few avenues:

• Journeys - last weekend over 50 Christians from here went to Branson, MO.  We grew closer to God and one another. Traveling together, sharing stories, and growing in appreciation for other Christians are important to caring for each other. Sacrificing for a group makes the relationship healthier. We enjoyed a great time of worship. Guests around our group joined in singing. Thanks to all those who made this event successful.
• The next excursion will be to the Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore, OK November 1. It is always a time for growing closer. Building community as we discover the way God is working in the lives of others. The scriptures tell us to “Talk about God’s word when you go along the road and times of rest.”

Please join us in other fellowship activities, classes, and the sharing of our lives.
