[Faith-talk] Praise Report

[Christopher Gilland]

Alicia, my churches web site is:

http://www.charlottefbc.org

I am not the greatest at web browsing.  I'm ok, but I'm not the greatest 
which is kind a surprising since I am in general, an incredibly advanced 
computer user.  Anyway, if you all could maybe help me look on the site and 
see if it shows anything, I'd really appreciate it.


Also, I deffinently will call.  I know that this Thursday, my uncle Daryle 
is going to be hosting a table at a banquet that they are having.  We are 
going to have a member of the Carolina Panthers who will be speking.  It's 
basicly part of the men's ministry.  Then on Sunday, after the service, 
they're having a picnic at the church that I am gonna do my best to attend. 
I am a professional musician as far as hobbies, and also have worked in the 
children's ministry some in the past both with kids and with youth as well, 
so either of those two things I have going for me.  Anyway, we'll just have 
to play it by ear.

I know that since I've been baptised, I am now a whole new person.  All I 
want is to serve the Lord, through leadership, testamony, and ministry. 
This is why I am so eagar to get more involved with the church, and too, I 
feel now that I am a full blown member, it's even that much more important 
to reach out.


Chris.


Matthew 5:13-16:

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste, how shall 
its saltiness be restored? ... You are the light of the world. A city set on
a hill cannot be hid... Let your light so shine before men, that they may 
see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
