Prayer Notes- week of May 4th

Hi, Family,

This past Sunday, we began our series of Messages in May, based on the upcoming "Narnia" movie, "Prince Caspian". We began the series with the message, Part 1-"A Journey Back to Faith" (message attached- also, you can hear the podcast at our website- www.thewellchristianministry.com, and click on the Sermon Notes and Video Clips button). This is a great Outreach Series- one you may want to invite your friends to. The theme of the series is about rekindling faith that has become more of a distant memory than a present reality (a pertinent topic on our "Post-Christian- Post-modern" culture!). It will go along with the release of the movie, "Prince Caspian" which will be released in mid-May. The topics of the remainder of messages will be:
May 11th- Believe and See (How the Lord opens spiritual eyes as well as physical eyes)
May 18th- Things Are Not What They Seem (about spiritual warfare)
May 25th- Staying the Course (how we can stay on the right path)

Our next All Church "Connection Event" will be a "Sunday afternoon out at the movies" to watch Narnia- Prince Caspian on Sunday, May 18th, right after the Sunday Morning worship service. We will get Pizza at Mama Mia's Pizza across from the entrance to Clearview Cinemas at Headquarter Plaza on Speedwell Ave. Then, we will watch the early afternoon showing of the movie. We are purchasing discount tickets, for the price of $8.00. Come and join us, and bring someone who is searching, or who just wants to watch a great movie with friends!

A "Praise" item- we continued the process of evaluating where we are and where we are going at our recent Connection Night this past Sunday evening. We received some good input from some of you (if you were unable to make it, and you would like to give some feedback about our church, please send your comments back to me on this e-mail). Then, on Sunday evening, June 1st, we will have our next Coffee Fellowship, where we will pray about it and capsulate it in the form of a plan for our church for 2008-2009. Again, we need your input at this juncture.

Also, another "Praise" item- the women of both "The Well" and "Igliesia Alianza" had a great time at the Women's Tea this past Saturday. The women shared in a "Getting to Know You" game, and then Sue shared a message entitled, "Refreshed by Hope"- how the Lord uses our brokenness and hurt to rebuild us and remake us in a way that helps other people in their struggles- "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." (2 Cor. 1:3-4). Thank the Lord for this great fellowship event, and pray about the next one!

Pray also for our "MYFAITH" classes for May 11th & 18th (NO CLASS ON THE 25TH- MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND). We will be at the home of Arturo Garcia (from Iglesia Alianza)- 163 Sussex St., Dover, NJ- (Directions from Morristown- take Rt. 46 West into Dover. Go to light before Methodist Church (on the right)- "North Sussex Street", turn right, about 4 blocks, house on left, on corner of N. Sussex & Goodale St., across from Locust Hill Cemetery.
