Program of Work – 2010

By Ross Hargett

We make "New Year's resolutions" but they usually don't stick well because we don't have enough resolve.  We make our vows in a marriage but in 50% of the marriages they don't stick because someone is lacking in commitment.  We start diets regularly but re-start regularly also because we don't have the as much motivation to continue as we do to just start.  Thankfully we DO have a promise that even when we get off the track as Christians we can get the forgiveness and get back on again (1 John 1:5-7).  What a blessing that is!

As we move forward in this great new year and look forward to the exciting opportunities God has set before us at Killen and beyond we need to resolve and commit and continue even more because it is the Lord's work we are doing, the most important work that exists.  Note some of these highlights below:

Ø     Significant outreach into our community to reach and teach the lost, the unfaithful, and the hurting.

Ø     Increased focus on keeping our new members "plugged in".

Ø     Increased growth of our youth and pre-teenagers with a special spiritual focus on life and fellowship activities.

Ø     Increased fellowship and spiritual activities among our Singles.

Ø     Dedication of specific funds toward our building fund goal to enable us to get started when we reach $500,000.

Ø     Increased involvement by more members in reaching and teaching and ministering to the hurting in the community (and in the church).

Ø     A "Friends Day" dedicated to bringing our friends to hear the message of hope.

Ø     A campaign in Hinton, WV for all ages to get involved in and reach out into that mission area.

And this is just the beginning! So how do we increase our stick-to-it-ness?  Prayer; mutual encouragement; Bible study; awareness of the needs ("What can I do?"); being willing to get out of our comfort zone; being willing to share the message of peace and promise with others who are seeking it;

The elders commend each one for their love, unity, and dedication to the Lord's work and encourage each to continue to strive to attaining the goals God has set before us (Phil 3:12-14).  We love you and appreciate you!
