Pastor Bill Bales , Charlotte and the Sonshine Family (Port Charlotte) are inviting us for the "special" meeting just for us.

"Charlotte and I would like to invite you to come to our next meeting on November 14th. Our goal is to be good stewards of your time as well as provide you the best setting for fellowship and 'bearing on another's burdens.'

Our services will begin promptly at 11 a.m. with Dale Hardy, pastor of the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Lake Mary. Tim Green will be speaking next and sharing with us how God has transitioned him into a new ministry. We will close with one of our champions of the faith, Rudy Johnson.

Somewhere around 12:30-1:00 p.m. we will be serving a wonderful lunch that our ladies have put together. Charlotte is having a special time for the ladies as well, so please encourage your wives to come. The last thing we will do is have our business meeting, and then you can stay and fellowship as long as you would like to.

I want to thank you ahead of time for coming to Port Charlotte. I know it is an investment of your time and money; therefore, we will do our best to be respectful of your time and the investment you make to come to Sonshine Baptist Church.

Next Meeting: October 10 - Orlando Baptist Church

Dear Pastor,

We are honored to host the Pastor's Fellowship Meeting here at Orlando Baptist Church on October 10, 2011. "Step Out of the Boat" will be the exciting theme for our church going into this Fall season and the New Year. We will be sharing some of the things God is doing here and what we are doing for the days ahead. I am thinking it may encourage or inspire you for your days ahead in your church

ministry.

Here is what our day with you will look like. We want preaching that will encourage us in our calling as ministers, information and material that will help us to be more effective as preachers, a time of great fellowship and a desire to "Step Out of the Boat" in some area of our life and ministry.

Here's how you can help make this happen:
1.Come to the meeting. It will not be the same without you here. Please come and fellowship with us.

2.Bring a pastor who doesn't normally or often come to the meetings. We will make him feel welcomed and enjoy the fellowship with him.
3.Bring your wives and staff. We will have a special time for the wives and a very cool time for the youth pastors.

I am thrilled with the men who will speak to us on our day together.

You will not want to miss hearing these wonderful men of God. It is my prayer we will all leave refreshed, encouraged and ready to go home and lead our people as we "Step out of the Boat" together. Please email me and let me know you are coming.

Volume 7

"I'm a Pastor's Wife"

That little group of words has got to be at the top of my list - "words I thought I'd never say"! It humbles me to my core. Living life under this new name is teaching me lessons I wasn't expecting and I am so grateful for it. Just a few of the things God is teaching....

I can still be me!
Being real makes all the difference in the world.
It's not all about me!
Giving council keeps me on my knees.
Encouraging others to go deeper with God makes me take inventory in my life.
I am not perfect...

God doesn't expect me to be!
A smile and a hug go a long way.
Respect for my husband has grown immensely.
Praying for him is more important with each passing day.

Leading by word is easy...
Leading by action takes effort.
God is using my past to minister to others and it's beautiful.
I don't have to have all the answers, sometime I just need to stop and listen.

I pray that my heart would stay close to the Lord, that my humility would remain in tact, and that I would be sensitive to the moving of the Spirit with willing hands to serve when prompted. It is beautiful that God has brought us here and I desire to draw even nearer to Him through this new journey.
Lord, this is Your work and all that is accomplished here is to Your glory alone. I am humbled that you use me. Thank you for walking with me. I pray that my eyes would remain fixed on You, that I would not grow cold to the people around me, and that I would be found faithful to Your calling. It is only through Your strength any of that is possible. I love you!
~ ~by Tina Ebert~ ~

I Tmothy 1:12, "And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled me for that he counted me faithful putting me into the ministry."

You Know You're A Pastor's Wife If.......
.....you are rarely referred to by your given name.
.....you wish you had a dime for every time someone claims your hasband said something he never said.
.....you have shaken more hands than a politian.
.....you have sincerely prayed for someone's pet.
.....you are expected to play the piano and sing - your spiritual gifts!!
.....you are expected to know the name, address, phone number and birth date of every member.
.....your new outfit is the talk of the week.
.....people come to you to offer "constructive criticism" of the pastor.
.....people look at you when the pastor starts a story about the family.
.....you can't slip into church late and go unnoticed.
.....you have to taste every casserole at the pitch-in dinner.
.....you are consistently the last one out of the building.
.....people think your husband only works 3 hours a week.
.....you worry because it's 10 pm and your husband is not back from the deacon's meeting.

Volume 6

The Lord giveth and ......thieves take away. Can we still say BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD? Dan woke up a few Saturdays ago to find his car gone - - taken right out of our driveway during the night. If you've ever had anything stolen - a purse, wallet, or even your car - you know the feeling of being violated, the anxious feeling and fear of what could happen next. It makes us angry, makes us look over our shoulders and leads us to take more precautions, (I bought a Club for my car!). But we also realize that God has blessed us with all we have and it belongs to Him, not us. I am thankful they only took the car and did not come into our home and harm my family. I am thankful they took the car with no one in it, instead of a carjacking when I had the grandchildren with me. Yes, it has been an inconvenience and yes, Dan and Jonathan lost their golf clubs, bowling balls and shoes and tennis rackets, but we can still say Blessed be the name of the Lord for his protection and provision.
Still Praising,
Pam

Matthew 6:25 & 33 "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on...Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Meet Beverly Hunter....

I was privileged to be born into a godly pastor's home in northern Michigan. At age 5, I prayed to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. At age 12, I made assurance of my salvation. I had the honor to be in a Christian school from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The summer of my junior year of high school I prayed and asked the Lord to send me "the man" I was to eventually marry. God says in His Word, "ask and ye shall receive..." The Lord did just that! Thomas Hunter came to my school that year. We began dating October of 1990 and 5 years later we were married. God called us to Ft. Lauderdale to work with the youth for 11 years. God blessed us with four beautiful children: Madysen (13), Kasie (11), Tommy (9) and Ally (5). Now God has entrusted us with Plantation Baptist Church where we have served for 6 years. We truly love and praise Him for His bountiful blessings. In Proverbs 3:5-6 it says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all they ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct they paths."

Our meeting will be August 8 in Plantation. Plan to come with your husband and see the great work God is doing. Enjoy some fellowship with other Pastor's wives.

WORDS OF WISDOM

*Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble. It is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

*Why is a car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small? Because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on.

*When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities; when God doesn't solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities.

*A blind person asked St. Anthony, "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!"

*Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!"

*Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace.
