The Gospel in gifs
Sunday I remarked that I, Josh Carney, would "be sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ using only gifs." This was a statement made in jest, offering subtle commentary on the large volume of user requests on Facebook this week that asked for digital friends to respond to said user using gifs exclusively. It has come to my attention that some of you took me literally and were consequently disappointed that the sermon did not include gifs. So here is my attempt to share the gospel using gifs as a consolation prize.
Meet Our Newest Finance Team Member
At our recent leadership team meeting, JD Newman was selected to serve on our finance team. Here's a bit about JD.
1. what do you do in waco:
I came to Waco to go to Truett Seminary and graduated in 2016. I now work for Baylor as Residence Hall Director in Martin Hall with 250 freshman guys.
2. book/chapter/verse of the bible that has impacted you:
I think 1 Corinthians has had the biggest impact on me. Paul gives us some real gems in this letter; the church as the body of Christ, holding in tension your freedom as a believer and the task of not being stumbling block for others, the Love chapter, and what the heck glossolalia means. It’s a good one.
3. fave restaurant in Waco:
Stone Hearth and Alpha Omega are the two I keep going back to recently
4. tv show and/or movie you love:
TV Show – I got on Game of Thrones after season 5, but have been hooked since.
Movie – Interstellar – I love Sci Fi and I love anything from Christopher Nolan. Best of both worlds.
5. something we might not know about you:
I love going to estate sales. What happens to all of your stuff when you die and your kids don’t want it? You can hire an estate sale company to come in and sell everything and people like me buy it. Win/win
I’ve even started a shop on Etsy where I repurpose old trophies I buy at estate sales and customize them.
McLennan County Orphan Care #3
We will be hosting our third and final orphan care dinner Wednesday October 15. This time we will be visiting with the folks from CASA about what it means to fight for foster care children in a way other than opening up your home. CASA is something anyone can do including a college student. So please come, eat some dinner and fellowship. Our potluck dinner will start at 6 and discussion at 6:30. Childcare will be provided.
