Lads to Leaders Convention has Arrived - April 14-16 - We're ready too!

Hello and welcome.  It is such a privilege to be able to meet together with family and friends on the Lord’s Day and at other times for worship, study, and sweet fellowship.  Life is often filled with busy-ness and it is very easy to take for granted the rich blessings we enjoy, our freedom, our health, our family and friends; just everything that is good and rich in life.  God provides His very best.  Let us thank Him daily for His grace.

This weekend (April 14-16) several from our youth group along with their coaches and leaders will be participating in the Lads to Leaders Convention at the Louisville Marriott Downtown, 280 West Jefferson Street.  Our team is made up of eight of our very best Watterson Trail champions:  Jackson Frederick, Victoria Kalahan, Maddie Lindsey, Geramiah Mitchell, Alex Ritter, Trevor Ritter, Amber Tennill, and Ema Widner.  May God bless our team with strength, clarity, and courage as they represent Christ and His church at Watterson Trail at this year’s convention!  Come and see.  By the way, L2L Conventions are being held in cities across the nation.  Thousands of children and teens with their parents, coaches, and sponsors will gather together and focus on this year’s theme found in the book of Ruth chapter 3 verse 5 where Ruth tells her mother in law, Naomi:  “And she said to her, ‘All that you say to me I will do.”  Cindi and I will be with our group in Louisville, Kentucky only 15 miles from our home.  We are blessed.

We will be having a very special “send-off” ice cream supper for our L2L (Lads to Leaders) team immediately following our devotional period this Wednesday evening, April 12th.  Plan on coming out for Bible Class at 7:00, a short devotional period at 7:45, then ice cream to follow.  Mmmm!

Coming in June:  Wouldn’t be great to have every member of the church of Christ at Watterson Trail present for one Sunday in the year?  Well, mark your calendar.  Make plans to be present.  Invite and remind every member of the church of Christ at Watterson Trail.  We’re having a 100% Membership Day on Sunday, June 4th.  We’re planning this very special Sunday to celebrate how very blessed we are to have such a loving and caring family of Christian brothers and sisters.  Our goal is to have all 149 members present for worship and fellowship on this very special day. We’ll need every member to commit to this day and also to call, write, and remind others to do the same.  Wouldn’t this be simply “family-tastic!”  Let’s do it!
