next meeting

Sons of Thunder, we are a little more than 2 weeks away from our next meeting. We will be meeting at the White County Fairgrounds. The church sponsors are First United Methodist and St. Paul United Methodist. We met and had a planing meeting and we are excited about what His Holy Spirit is going to have for us on August 9th. First starting at 6:00 p.m. we will be having Baby Back Ribs again with all the good stuff that goes with them. Our guys are looking forward to spending the day in fellowship with our brothers from St. Paul smoking 250 racks of ribs. We will be having a combine worship team of guys from both churches. St. Paul has two men with powerful testimonies, Lee Stephenson and Al Fiscus are going to bless us with the story of their walk with the Lord. It looks like it is going to continue to be very hot but for those who don't know we will be eating and worshiping inside under air conditioning. We also are planing a special time of prayer for our students and teachers as they prepare to return to school. Because of what we are having for the meal it is important to let us know if you are coming and how many will be with you. We want to make sure we have enough ribs for everybody. So start talking it up and invite someone who has not yet come. We will be bringing some item for one of the Ministry in the county. I will tell you about that in the next email. May God continue to Bless you and yours.

Another Great night at Downtown CC

Guys, just some thoughts about Tuesday night. Even though we had several churches having VBS and it was 100 degrees outside and the Major League Baseball all star game was going on we still had over 400 Sons of Thunder show up for a awesome evening. The men at Downtown welcomed us again to their wonderful facility with a great meal and love in their heart. We experience another great night of unity in the body of Christ in Searcy. The worship was just great and His spirit was very prevalent. I personally know of two men who turned to the Lord and have opened that door for a relationship with Him. This is what it is all about to let men see and hear other men's stories so they can accept his grace and forgiveness. They find out they are not alone, that we all struggle, but His grace and blood will cover all our sins. Mike, made that point very clear with his testimony, what a wonderful example of a disciple of Christ he is. The fellowship during the meal was very special again. I am so humbled every time I look up and see those long lines of men getting food, knowing that they are really there for the food for their spirit. For those that could not come this past Tuesday, we missed you and love you, and are looking forward to seeing you again at the Fairgrounds on August 9th. Remember Jesus loves you and there is nothing you can do about. God Bless

Up coming SOT at DTCC

Sons of Thunder, you guys don't know how blessed I am to address over 900 men from over 100 different churches as Sons of Thunder. Open your bible and read Mark 3:14-19 and you will see how simple and easy it was for James and John to drop their nets and follow Jesus. James was the first disciple to die for Jesus and John was the last. When we meet on the Second Tuesday of each month and share a meal, fellowship, worship and witness of our love for Jesus, we are following in the footsteps of the first Sons of Thunder James and John. While you got your bibles open go to the sermon on the mount ( Matt 5-7) and take time to read it again as these chapters will be part of the evening program. We also have a very powerful testimony given by a man from Downtown. This is going to be another special night of experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit in our gathering.
Remember we are going to have breakfast for the meal, will start at 6:00 p.m. Downtown Church of Christ is located 900 N. Main St. go to North side and come into the set of double doors. We will have you on the way home by 8:30 I promise. We have a week and half before July 12th so start talking it up and inviting guys who have not came. Fathers bring you sons with you and sons bring your father with you! If you have not let us know via email do so just as soon as you know how many will be coming with you. We love you guys and may God bless you and yours.
