Prayer Request for Robert Layne

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Please pray for my friends in NC who are in the Emmaus community there. Their 15 year old son has been missing since last night. The police dog traced his scent to the on ramp on the interstate. They are distraught and we all are so concerned. His name is Robert Layne.

Thank you so much.

Prayer Request for Kathy Stinson

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I just completed Walk #7; what a blessing. However my Prayer Request is for my wife Kathy (Stinson). She is scheduled to go on the walk this coming Thursday and has decided not to attend. She has been struggling with this decision for several days.

Some of you may have felt the same way as I did before I went, “apprehensive”. Kathy’s feelings are a little stronger than that.

I love her with all my heart and have encouraged her to reconsider. She has assured me that she has been doing so for the past several days but that she simply does not want to go. I will respect her decision not to attend. I am disappointed but will respect her decision. Obviously this is not the right time for her.

Not surprising that after my walk, I am simply disappointed; not angry. I want to demonstrate the Love of Christ to her that she may not have expected. I STILL LOVE HER.

Peace,
Gordy Stinson

Send-off Song

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Some of you may not be very familiar with the song we do to send the Pilgrims off.  We sing this as the Pilgrims leave the sanctuary and board the buses.  Words are:

Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us

That we may be called the children of God
That we may be called the children of God

 See you Thursday!!
