After church every Sunday we go over to the home of one the members of our small group and eat.  Yesterday we went over to the Lusk home and ate like kings.  I always eat too much when we go over to their house.  I love the fact that we eat together as a group and that we eat in someone’s house versus going to eat at a restaurant.  I got to thinking about this last year.  We wonder why some people don’t go to  church on Sunday, but we expect them to be ready to seat me for lunch.  Would more people be going to church if we simply at at home on Sunday.  I know that we have had several students in our ministry drop out because they start working and can’t get off on Sunday.  What are your thoughts on this? 

     I have been working this last week for a blog on the 2008 Couples Conference that will be hosted by satellite at Arrow Heights Baptist Church on April 26th, 2008.  Check it out at http://www.arrowheights.org/Couples/.  I want to invite you to bring your small group, Sunday school class, and invite the couples at your church.  I can not wait to hear what Erwin and Kim McManus have to say.  I hope you will be able to join us and look forward to seeing you there and hearing from you.

My friend Jennifer Johnson has written a book called Royal by Blood.  Randall House has published the book and is featuring it on their web site.  Click over there and check it out.  While your online go to Jennifer’s blog and leave her some comments about the book.  If you are looking for a study for teen and young adult girls I recommend that you check this out.  It is great stuff.
