Welcome back! Three more weeks of CSports Basketball and we’re hoping to finish big! Those of us who made it to the CSports at the Jags night this past Saturday had a blast! Practices start back this evening (sorry Bama fans) and games resume this coming Saturday. Coaches, please see if you can spare an extra hour Saturday to help ref one of the full court games. Let Mrs. Rose know. Thanks!

Please see the attached image. I saw it last week and thought it would applicable to all you are teaching your teams. As you are all displaying with your service through this ministry, our offerings are validated by our efforts and intent. King David said in 2 Samuel 24:24, “I dare not give as an offering that which cost me nothing.” I trust that you will all be blessed as a result of your spirit and efforts in pursuit of life changing influence upon those whom we serve. The Holy Spirit is alive and working through you every time you work with a player, organize an event, assist a parent, or share a devotion. Thank you for all you do!

Please be reminding and encouraging people to be at the CSports Basketball Celebration Sunday, January 20, at 3:00pm. Tell them to arrive early so that they can fill out the response cards and help us make this ministry more effective. Players and coaches are asked (but not required) to wear their basketball jerseys/shirts.

See you on the court!

In His Service,

Steve Ellisor, Recreation Minister
