Have you ever wanted to be the best at something? I see coffee mugs and t-shirts and bumper stickers saying that the person with this product is the best father, friend, cook, etc. and I wonder what the odds are of the actual best whatever it is winding up with that. Probably pretty low. But you can be the best at something. We all can. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13 how to love in the best way. I was going to entitle my message Sunday, “How To Be the Best Lover” but I knew you hoodlums would take it wrong so instead it’s just called, “The Most Excellent Way”. And it tells us how to use our God-given gifts in the best way. It is the best way to live and the best way to die and the best way to be known as individuals and as a church. I hope you’ll join us at Christ Fellowship this Sunday at 10 to learn more.
Afterwards, I think some of us are going to go to Perry’s Diner for lunch and then Sunday night we will not have evening service at our church but go to Morris Memorial Methodist Church for the annual Chico area Ministerial Alliance and worship with several other churches there. There will be a light meal served after the service and they have asked us just to bring a finger-food sandwich tray and a fruit tray. If you can help with that, please let me know ASAP. The service starts at 6 and the address is 304 S. Weatherford St. just off the square and across from Lowes Grocery.
So many of you have asked. I talked to Cody Roberts today and he saw his doctor and things are looking good after his major back surgery. He is still in considerable pain and the doc says he will be for a while but all is going according to plan. Thank you for praying for him and Teresa.
I can’t wait to see you Sunday! I love you all! — Todd
