DS Tom on Tuesday - Thoughts, Talk and Take Action DS with DS (District Stuff)November 28, 2017THOUGHTS: Thanksgiving was spent with our family Jeff, Becky, Michael, Emily, Jan, Leah, Lucy and brother-in-law Randy Doe who came from Kansas. Our family tradition is to have Thanksgiving at the Hart house. Randy joined us this year after moving to Kansas 9 years ago. We loved our time together to play games, watch movies, eat plenty, watch the annual Hart Christmas parade (11 minutes long) and remove the leaves from the yard.I had breakfast Friday with two retired troopers in which we were able to talk about spiritual things.Sunday we worshipped with our family at Hart Wesleyan Church with Pastor Bob and Suzie Gray. We always love going to Hart because it is the place of our first pastorate and so many memories were made and are being made. Pastor Bob preached on “Living Clean in a Dirty World” from the teaching series of a few years ago. He gave a great message about not being trapped by substance abuse and how God calls us to live a life of freedom from addictions. We returned back to the office on Monday to follow up on phone calls, emails and prepare for the upcoming Great Lakes Regional Wesleyan Church information/discussion meetings.Naomi Henderson, Pastor Rob Henderson’s wife, from First Wesleyan Muskegon was admitted to Grand Rapids Spectrum on Sunday night and had a procedure today (Tuesday) on her heart. She has a small vessel disease that causes discomfort.Pastor Orson Deemer of Lake Ann Woodside continues to have his heart condition monitored and will need some additional procedures in the next few months.TALK:Church Multiplication - “PRAY - HOWARD CITY” as we seek direction in this new church planting ministry. Pray for a church planter for this ministry. Pastor Dave Hansen and Lakeview Community Church are leading the way for this church plant.Pastors Scott & Rebecca Touzel have resigned ministry at Remus Trinity and have accepted a ministry position in North Carolina.Please remember to pray for Muskegon Community, Remus Trinity and West Golden as they are in need of pastoral leadership.Funeral for our dear friend Dr. Stan Toler will be on December 8.TAKE ACTION: Calendar events:December REGIONAL WESLEYAN CHURCH INFORMATION MEETINGS: (Zoom capability for most meetings , Zoom information below)Great Lakes Region Wesleyan Church information/discussion is for all church leadership – laity and pastors.
