Both evangelists of the church in Chillicothe spent the last week in West Virginia near the New River Gorge Bridge in a cabin with 30 other Christians and their children. We have been encouraged and strengthened spiritually and we are ready to get back to work in Chillicothe. From Bible studies, the Nintendo Wii, hiking and rafting (and you know we played some disc golf for sure), we had an excellent week.
Check out this picture:
Little Sarah celebrated her 3rd birthday and was given a crown to wear for the day. We called a few families from the local church and came together at Burger King to make her feel like a queen. Sarah is the youngest daughter to Matthew Minney who was recently baptized into Christ. We continue to rejoice with Matt as he was also born anew a short time ago.
The kids jumped around and climbed in the play area while the adults enjoyed conversing with one another. We sang “Happy Birthday” with my mandolin (I am learning how to play) and shared cake and ice cream. It was an enjoyable occasion and we are glad to have this new family with us as a part of the local church.
Don’t forget to check out Matthew Minney’s article on “What God Has Done”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH
HAPPY NEW BIRTH DAY TO MATTHEW
God bless,

So what does our church logo stand for anyways? Many people have speculated as to what our logo symbolizes. We have heard everything from two men going up for a jump ball in a basketball game to a couple of volleyball players preparing for a spike at the net. Perhaps you see two people giving a high five or two people stretching before a workout. Nevertheless, I would like to take a moment to share with you what our logo means to me as one of the evangelists of this local church.
Our logo was selected carefully and we wanted it to be a symbol that would be recognized by others as being connected with the local congregation. When I first saw the logo, I noticed the cross. Personally, if it is not about the Lord, then why use it. Secondly, I noted that there were people working together, who although different (cultural, ethnical, social etc.), were showing to others the message of the cross of Christ. By reaching upward, they show their reliance upon and need for the Lord and His daily guidance and strength. But by reaching outward, they share the love of Jesus with everyone that they come in contact with. We attached the short motto, “Serving Jesus By Sharing Jesus” with this logo because we believe that this is what our existence is all about. On the website we classify ourselves as, “a congregation of Christians that serve the Lord by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.” We are the church (a congregation of Christian) that assemble in Chillicothe, Ohio. You may see other ways of viewing this logo, but I hope this helps you to see who we are and what we are all about in the church in Chillicothe.
Just for fun, can you think of anything creative that this logo could stand for?
Leave us a few comments…
God bless you
