Next meeting at first Assembly

Sons of Thunder, we are now just two weeks away from our next meeting. We will be meeting at First Assembly of God in Searcy. It is located just behind Wendy's on Benton St. What a great privilege it is to be back with these guys and worship our Lord with them. The menu has not been set but you know it will be great if you remember what it was the last time we were there. We are being hosted by our fellow brothers in Christ from the Nazarene churches in addition to the men from First Assembly. So start talking it up in church, and this time try to invite a friend who has not come. Remember we do not have any kind of agenda. Our whole purpose is to once a month bring guys together for fellowship and worship with other men who love Jesus. We hope you had a blessed Christmas and wish you a happy and safe New Year. If you plan to come try to let us know so we can get a count for the meal. May God bless you and yours.

Sons of Thunder this Christmas

Next meeting at First Methodist

Sons of Thunder, we are now less than a week away from our next meeting. We will be meeting at First United Methodist Church Searcy December 13 starting at 6:00 p.m. in Yancey Hall. We are having Hickory Smoke Beef Brisket with all the good stuff that goes with that. A very special evening is planned we will go into the Sanctuary for worship and prayer. Our focus for the evening is fitting for the season which is Hope. Dennis Rine will talk about the tragic death of his daughter and the hope that the death of our Savior Jesus Christ on the cross has provided for us. This is one SOT that you don't want to miss.

Parking we know will be at a premium so we have talk with First Security Bank which is directly across the street from the church. We can use their parking lot. Also there is parking in the city parking lot across from our youth building and behind the youth building. We will have guys in the parking lots to aid in parking. First Baptist men are providing golf carts for transporting guys to and from those lots. What a great spirit of unity in Christ there is in SOT.

Remember, we are helping Jacobs Place Family Homeless Shelter with cleaning supplies, soap, paper towels, tolet paper, all the type of stuff that is needed in our homes is also needed for this very worthy ministry. If you would like to donate money just put your check or cash in the container in the food line. Everything over the cost of the meal will go to Jacobs Place. All the money made from the sale of SOT t-shirt will also be given to Jacobs Place.

If you are planning to come spread the word. Make an announcement in your church if you can. Bring a friend, son, father, grandfather, cousin. Let us know. May God bless you and yours.
