This past Sunday evening was the night for the Discovering Olive dinner. Over 120 new members and prospects along with 20+ table hosts met in the ROC. We had a great meal. After that, I led the group through an information notebook prepared for new members. Several folks joined Olive as new members and others gathered valuable information about our church. We concluded with a fun and informative Q&A session. I am always amazed at the new people the Lord brings to Olive. He loves His church and provides for it in every way.

I also wanted to put a need before you. It is our joy to provide a residence for missionaries on furlough. These families serve on foreign mission fields. When they come home for a few months of R and R, we have a nice place for them to stay. It is our Howard L. Beard Missionary House. We have also provided a vehicle for each missionary family to use while they are staying with us. At this time, the car we have is OLD. It is time for an update. If you have a GOOD low-mileage vehicle you could donate, now is the time to let me know. This car will be set aside for use by our missionary houseguests. On the other hand, maybe you would like to purchase one. We can make that happen as well. Pray with me for the Lord to provide. Last Sunday I preached from Genesis 22 where we saw how God provided a sacrifice in place of Abraham’s son, Isaac. Abraham named the place, “the Lord provides.” Truly, He is forever faithful!
