Hurricane or Opportunity?

As of 9:40 tonight, there is still a chance that a Category 1 (or bigger) hurricane could pass through Corpus in the next 36 hours.
Panic or Possibilities
?

"Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown! He replied, "Your of little faith, why are you so afraid?" The he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm." (Matt 8:23-26)

Storms are perfect opportunities for Jesus to show His peace. I don't see our potential storm as a crisis, but as a circumstance where we can show people the love and peace of Jesus. Where we can be used to help others and who knows, maybe even point them to the Peace Maker. Another opportunity to be on mission for the Kingdom!

And in the vein of help, would you be willing to help some of our singles/widows/or military wives over the next couple of days (boarding up or whatever is necessary for them to get prepared)?
If you would please call Tim Klaus (549-4813) or Jessica Gregory (774-2199).

And if you need ANY help please your Group Leader, the Church office (993-4463) or one of the above #'s.
