Common Ground Coffee House #104

Great news about Brent and hello to all in the Coffee House. I'll have my nice hot cuppa, but I tried an eggnog latte are Starbucks this week that I'd like to find here.

Its been a WHILE, but praise the Lord it is because our ministry is starting to grow here and i just don't have the time I used to. It is a cool, wet, windy day today, and we are going to take our Kids Klub to the nursing home to sing a little later so I have a few minutes.

I mentioned this on the thread about Maddie's birth, but want to say again thanks for being here in the slow, dark days of the ministry here. Some of you remember my posts when we had no one coming to church and you were so good during those days to pray for and encourage us.

You can find some ministry pics and videos of the work by CLICKING HERE .

Good to see you all again!

 

Good Morning Everybody,


Sue: Fancy names for food mean nothing. That's why truck stops, and mom 'n pop restaurants are the most popular restaurants[I've eaten in both, thank you very much].


But, since you insisted...Today's breakfast is Scrumptious Soul-Satisfying Spread Singularily Supplied, Starring Sue. :applause: :love2:


Last night's Fellowship Dinner went well. From the comments I heard I guess they discontinued these meals almost 6 years ago. We'll have to wait and see how well received last night's was. I guess the big problem years ago was lack of attendance, and difficulty getting food supplied. Hard to have dinners if nobody wants to help cook, and help out at the dinner.


I looked in at the Coffeehouse last night, and the Chocolate was all gone, and I didn't find anybody passed out (resting?) on the floor. I think I can identify everybody that indulged by their fingerprints. Their Chocolate fingerprints that is.

Roger: Those photos are great. Who is the handsome guy on the far left in the newspaper photo? The crop doesn't grow until all the hard work is done. You've done it well too my brother.


Have to get my chores done. For some reason they don't do themselves. I Wonder why?

 

Ann, it is refreshing to read about you and your husband's burden for the "boys in the band". May the Lord give you the right words, and His power, to provide grace where it is needed at this time. God bless.

Hello everyone. We are enjoying a mild spell here in Ontario. We have still had our share of rain, however, and that is leaving the turf somewhat soggy. We need a deep freeze before the snow comes.

I wrote a rare item on our Fellowship Baptist forum. Now, no one hardly ever posts there. I received two separate emails from my item. One from Saskatchewan. Turns out this oldtimer knew the same people I knew back then, and we had a jolly good discussion of memories. The second chap lives just 50 miles from me and I knew both his father and father-in-law, who were both Fellowship Baptist pastors. Amazing how God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.

Cheers,

Jim

PS. Both these memories go back to the fifties and early sixties.

 

Thanks very much. Just back from the nursing home, but on the way out to do some "pastoral work" (trying to see if I can get a church members computer back online ).

You might pray for our first ever Carol Service this Sunday evening. A lot of folks have been invited.

 

Roger, I enjoyed the pics and the video. May God continue to bless you in your ministry there!

Rob, those chocolate fingerprints are mine! Everything was delicious!

 

Hi all:Been busy collecting food for the Damascus Help pantry for the poor. We got 3 big boxes and 3 shopping bags full. Plus we got 2 large boxes full of toys. Will have Teen Challenge pick it up tommorrow. Hopefully in a.m. If not will give them a call for reminder. I have airport runs to do and will not be around. So all news I have.

 

A great ministry. God Bless you. :flower:

 

Good morning, everyone!

Rob, thanks for breakfast. I know why people like your cooking--it's delicious!

I came here looking for coffee. Starbucks recalled my coffee pot, and I had to ship it back to them. All the way via UPS to Denver, and now I have to wait for a voucher to get a new one. I'm OK because I can drink tea, but Hubby is not happy. :laugh: He had to drive thru this morning and get coffee.

The wedding is only 16 days away! My son and future DIL are coming today--big office shower for them tomorrow. So I'm off to clean the house.

 

I remember my last ride, Ann. It was just a few years ago, and in winter, but the snow had all gone. I went down the back fields to do a little jumping. Well, I went over the gate ok, but the horse landed on a patch of ice. She slid forward on all four and I slid off the back on you know where. The doctor decided I shouldn't ride anymore. I might do an injury at my age. So, I rode the horse down to a neighbors and gave her to him.

Good to hear that you are ok after your spill.

Cheers,

Jim

 

They closed an elementary school just outside the city because of a lower GI bug that swept through the school. Kids are staying home while they disinfect the place.

This morning the building management where I work (36 floor building) put out breakfast in the lobby for all who work in the building. Lots of flavored cream cheeses for bagels. And donuts and danish and pound cake. Long line! But the cream cheese was worth it!

Glad to see Friday here - it's been a long week at work, and too short a week at home.

 

Good morning!

Debby, the Walker Co., GA school system closed yesterday due to flu and strep. They say the flu is hitting early this year.

Sue, I hope you get some rest and don't get sick. My youngest has something--probably the flu--so we're going to the doctor today. He has a 103.2 fever. If it's not the flu, we will probably come home from the doctor's office with it. It would be just our luck to all have the flu at the wedding. :tonofbricks:

I'm off to do some last minute stocking stuffers.

Have a good day and stay well.
