September 2009 eNote

Hello Everyone!

I trust that all is well and that you are prospering in the Lord!

We are gearing up for a busy time of year! We are starting our School of Ministry again and it began yesterday, September 14th! This time, our school is running a little different than in the past. We’re offering two courses that will run for 6 weeks and then following those, two different courses will be offered. We’re also offering the opportunity to take every course or just the ones you would like, by simply joining at the beginning of each 6 week course. The School will run from September through April. Esther and I will teach most of the courses. We are very excited about it! If you can make it, come on and join us!

Our church building project continues to inch forward and we are still working with the architect to get the construction plans done. It is going to be a blessing for us and we are looking forward to how God is going to bring it to pass!

As you’re reading this, Esther and I are headed toward the National Gospel Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky! We will also swing by and see Sarah and Wiley as she’s only a mere 3 hours away from Louisville (very close by grandparent’s standards). Adam and Kelly are doing fine and looking forward to being in their new facility by the first of October! Aaron, Jackie, and the boys are well and they continue to be blessings to us in many areas.

It was fun to have Esther's sisters Genny and Cathy with us for Esther's 50th birthday party! Esther was truly surprised and blessed by everyone who was there! Our church is so wonderful to us and we are so blessed!

We’re celebrating our 15th anniversary as a Church October 4th through 7th! It’s going to be fun to look back at where we have come from, and to look forward to where we’re going! We have many pictures of the past so it’s going to be fun to see how far we have come in life. You may want to be there just to see how you looked 15 years ago!

The best is yet to come!

Pastor Mark and Esther Butler
