Announcing the Nelons in Concert at High Peak Baptist Church on March 18 at 7 pm.. The concert is free but a love offering will be taken up that night.
Just a quick note to all of our members. We are starting off our special study called For Parents Only (see the web site) this week. The purpose of this study is to help the parents of our church understand their kids and become better parents in accordance with Ephesians 6:4. I hope all of our parents will come and be at this study on Wednesday Nights in January and February. The book that this is based on is one of the most important books I’ve read as a parent. That is not hyperbole. I really mean that. It has helped me greatly and I wanted to share it with you. We will get an overview of the study this week and give out the book and the study guide.
We start at 6:30 this week. The reason is that we know many families have a hard time getting home in time to eat and then get to church. So at 6:30 we will have a meal. This won’t be a big church potluck. This week we are have soup and sandwiches. So come get a healthy, hot supper and learn how to relate to your kids.
The youth are also taking part in a similar study. The guys are studying For Guys Only which will help them better understand themselves, their parents, and girls. The girls are study For Girls Only which will do the same for them – help them understand themselves, their parents and guys.
We will also have regular Children In Action and a nursery.
If you have friends with kids, let them know about this great study!!
Last night at High Peak Church we hosted what I believe will be the final Candidates forum in a closely watched race for the Burke County School Board. We advertised that all eight candidates would be attending. Unfortunately, Tracy Norman was unable to attend due to injuries from a car accident on Saturday. She did contact us before the forum but, unfortunately, we were so busy setting up that we answer the telephone. My apologies to Ms. Norman for not getting that word out last night. Our prayers go out to her for a speedy recovery.
The other seven candidates answered a series of questions from our church, members of the public, and me. I think all of the candidates presented themselves well. My wife and I agreed that all of them seemed to be decent, honest people who care a lot about the schools in Burke County. While we may have our preferences, I do not think, after last night, that we have anything to worry about going forward.
The Morganton News Herald was on hand to cover the event. You can read about it this morning in the paper or online. We also streamed it live over this site. We hoped to record it so people could see it after the fact. Unfortunately, that was not possible.
A big thanks go to the News Herald for helping us get the word out, to the 7 candidates who were able to attend, the people of Burke County who were there or watched live on the Internet, and mostly to the members of High Peak Baptist Church. Especially I want to thank the tech crew and our people who were on hand to keep people safe and informed about things like restrooms, etc. I am blessed to serve the greatest people who like to do great things for a Greater God!
Already, people are talking about “next time.” I don’t know if that will happen, but we will see.
