Saturday night update

Hi everyone,

Well, we were unable to hold services last Saturday night due to the snow from the first blizzard of the season!  Tonight we had a good service...even though Bob and Joe tried to imitate the Jonas Brothers when we had some technical difficulties!  Next Saturday night we will be sharing in a Lord's Supper service for the very first time as a church.  We are all looking forward to this special time.  I have taken the Lord's Supper many, many times....I still remember the first time when I was seven.  This will be the first time for this church family, though.  What a privilege to be a part!

Still no word on the booth for the Black Hills Stock Show.  We may not find out until mid-December.  We are already starting to plan as if we have it!

Pray for new works to start in Spearfish.  Pray that we can find the planter pastor that God is preparing to come assist in that new work.  Spearfish is a town of close to 10,000 with no SBC church at all.  A good size university is there as well.  

Justin, Jennifer, and Josiah Dancer will be moving up to Rapid City during the first few days of January to start their ministry at Hills of Grace.  They have already found a great house to rent.  Pray for safety as they travel and for the transition they will have to this new ministry.  Pray also that Justin will be able to find a job that will help to provide for their needs.

On a personal note, pray for our vehicle situation.  The van we use to pull the Hills of Grace trailer is on the blink...has about 270,000 miles!  Pray for wisdom and finances for us in how to handle this situation.

Also, just found out that Fireproof has surpassed 6200 in attendance in Rapid City!

Thanks again for all of your prayers and support!

Until next time,

John
