It's hot.
[gw] Everyone came into work today wearing shorts, cause it was so hot. Gotta love Austin and being casual every where you go. But I've been telling everyone this. Pray for the day of our wedding. June 10th, 2006. So everytime you think it's hot outside, say a quick prayer. Maybe we'll even get a cold front come through. :) Too bad, it's too hot to ride a bike. I was considering riding my bike to work now that gas prices are so high. Then I heard yesterday, that there was a fatal bike accident (hit and run.)
So how was everyone's Easter? Mine was great. We first had a BBQ for our lounge leaders. I love BBQs. Does anyone have pics from that? Yvonne and I actually help serve communion at Liquid. It was a great moment for me, a snapshot of us serving the church together in the future.
So part of us preparing for marriage, I wanted us to come up with a theme passage and a mission statement. Here you go, what are your thoughts?
Mission Statement
Through our service, we will show that we love Him. Through our actions, we will show that He loves others. Through our love for each other, we will show how God loves his church. It is our prayer that God will use us in this world to bring people closer to Him for His glory.
Theme Verse | 1 Peter 4:8-11Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen

i'm glad you guys are thinking early about a mission & theme verse. i really like your theme verse - post it on your walls and say them often!
i have one question: explain what 'through our actions, we will show that He loves others' means? what's the difference btw service and actions here? just wondering.
service is specifically, service with the church. Is it confusing? Should we rewrite?
nah. it's already on the invitation anyway, isn't it? :) it's all good. you guys did a suberb job, btw. i love the bios - yvonne, the marshmallow arms and the middle school pictures are AWESOME.
