The Shack

What are you doing right now? GET UP, drive to Mt. Bethel bookstore, Borders or Sweet Spirit and get a copy of THE SHACK. You will not be sorry!
In this story you will come face to face with heartache, reeling anger and pain and how one father, Mack, embraces a myriad of questions loss causes us all to face. The transforming power of this book should not be missed.
My hope is that the author, William P. Young, will sweep you along in his fictitious story and absolutely cause you to call out for the presence of GOD as He did for me.

DNOW: Respond
March 5th, 2008 by

What is going on when in less than 3 hours 3,290 PB&J sandwiches are made for the hungry and homeless of Atlanta; 500 Easter Eggs are filled for St Philip UMC to host a community Egg Hunt; one playground and fence are cleared so St Philip can have fields to use for recreation as a community outreach ministry; 500 salvation bracelets are created; over 41 blankets are made to give to poverty stricken children in Ecuador and over 250 letters are written to soldiers who are currently serving our country overseas?
DNOW ’08 that’s what!! DNOW was a weekend to RESPOND!!!!!!
We were given a chance to RESPOND to the love of Jesus through our worship experience lead by Kristian Stanfill and challenged by messages delivered by Travis Crim. We unpacked our theme scripture, Matthew 25:40. Our awareness about the needs of others was raised by information we listened to concerning Camp HOPE, 7 bridges ministry of Atlanta, DRY Tears in Africa, Any Soldier Ministry and the Mt. Bethel Student Ministries “325 Day Challenge.” We all had the opportunity to learn about the needs of others and were able to RESPOND with the love of Christ.
Seventy one college leaders, from 18 different universities, dedicated themselves to guide students through the weekend. Sixty four Mt. Bethel members opened their homes and hosted family groups and provided meals and transportation. A team of volunteers assisted in preparing and executing the Disciple Now go smoothly that included praying, pitching in with necessary office tasks, organizing materials, transporting, shopping, supervising mission projects, donating snacks, and helping transform the CAC – All this and then joining the 800-person packed DNOW celebration service on Sunday morning!
God blew us all away with HIS undeniable presence all weekend long. We thank God for everyone who was a part of the glorious weekend. The only way we want to RESPOND is by giving Him all the glory.
Here is more good news, our opportunity to RESPOND to the love of Christ continues. Disciple NOW was just the beginning. Every Sunday students study God’s word at 9:30 a.m., and on Sunday evenings we host day/one for students 6th through 12th grade. Please join us and RESPOND to the longing in your heart that only a relationship with Christ can fill.
