So for this week we will have the Meet-Eat-Greet time on Wednesday night instead of Tuesday night and there will be no Thinking Like a Christian meeting this week. Greg and Ruth are heading to Virginia on Friday and we would sure appreciate your prayers for us while we go. This coming Sunday the 13th we will have Dennis Aleson preaching for us. Please plan on coming and hearing him speak this Sunday. Greg will be back for the 20th

Dennis Aleson....retired Air Force chaplain, serving from 1977 through 2003 including both the USAF Academy and Peterson AFB here in the Springs.....named the 1996 USAF Outstanding Chaplain of the Year......retired United Methodist clergy member of Dakotas Conference of the United Methodist Church but resident of Colorado Springs......married to wife Carol since 1971....two adult offspring, both married......two grandchildren in Orlando, FL with #3 due early in 2016......two grand-dogs.....a Songspinner for over 10 years, sharing music adventures with Pastor Greg and Nancy
====================
Dennis will be at church at about 9:15 Sunday to share some of his experiences at the 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist truck bombing in the Sunday School hour. His message in the service will be based on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, entitled "Journey to 'Vegas' and Back"

Pastor Greg A. Chandler
A local church that is Baptist in doctrine and unaffiliated with any national denomination. We have been worshiping the Lord since our forming in 1988. Some of our members have fellowshiped in this and a previous church for over 50 years. We are families who have come together to try to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We support 3 missionaries and try to help as many as we can while pursuing our prime directive as a church to teach the gospel and train followers of Christ. We welcome the utilization of the best translations of the Bible (we are not KJV-only) by each individual believer since each believer has the right to choose for himself in the freedom with which Christ has given.

Greg's Little Sayings

Church is on Sunday morning because of Saturday night
I'm doing the work of 3 men - Larry, Moe and Curly!
Most church folks don't mind having the wool pulled over their eyes, but they do mind getting fleeced! Courtesy Dennis Craig
This faith ministry is going down the tubes if you don't give!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Prophet's Meeting is cancelled tonight (Huh?)
If you let the dogs out, don't complain about the barking!
I saw a bumper sticker, “Nature is my church.” I guess he can’t get along with other folks
Those that blame God for suffering acknowledge there is a power greater than themselves; at least they're not atheists
On church arguments - it's always about control
Church is no more than a handrail on a set of stairs! Courtesy Johnie Jackson
We're not the worst church you'll ever attend!
Ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya!
When in doubt, sing!
If you’re feeling down and faithless, wait three days, you’ll feel better; in the meantime, clean something, at least you’ll be doing something good
It’s not just what you believe that matters; it’s how you hold what you believe
Humility: if you have to advertise it, you ain’t got it
When you’ve done all you can, have faith; oh, no, has it come to that?
