A Thought on Church Attendance... - Bro. Joey
Tue, 02/21/2012 - 13:58 — Joey PearsonI was recently talking with a teenaged boy who is listed in the roster of my Sunday School class. This young man hadn't been in church in awhile (not just MBC Newburgh, but any church). I had run into him at a publc place and recognized him. We made small talk for a little while before I let him know that I had missed him in Sunday school. He assured me that he read his Bible every day and prayed consistently. I encouraged him, telling him I was proud to hear that. I then brought up the subject of church attendance, and asked him why he hasn't been coming

Tue, 11/22/2011 - 09:13 — Joey PearsonIt's getting close to December! An annual teen activity that we always look forward to is the "Progressive Dinner". For those of you who do not know what a progressive dinner is, we start at one location for a salad, then to another location for an appetizer, then another for the main course, then another for desert (or anything close to that order). So thats one full meal, being provided by 4 different locations, or hosts. This is how we'll do it this year!
