The Joy of serving

I will never forget the day that Jeff Roman came over to our home after church to mow my lawn so I could spend time with the family before going out of town on a business trip.
During Sunday School that morning I mentioned the crazy schedule that I had and the limited time available to spend with the kids.

During lunch the doorbell rang and it was Jeff. He said he was here to mow. No way I said, I don't need you to mow for me! Jeff replied, I am here to serve. The Lord prompted me to come over and bless you, so here I am. I sat at the table with tears in my eyes that someone would come and serve me like that.

That was about eight years ago this month. Jeff said it was his joy to serve. That comment has stuck with me ever since that day. Lord, give me the "joy" to serve others. Whether it is mowing, taking someone to the Dr. office or perhaps just being available to listen to someone in need.

Do you have the joy to serve? Ask God today to put in your heart the desire to serve others. I have and let me tell you that there is real "joy" in serving!

May the Lord bless you today as you serve others.

Sunday morning Pastor Barry made an announcement that we need "All Hands on Deck"!
Well, we had "All Hands on Deck" with over 35 volunteers participating in supporting the Haney family, extended family and the community. And for that...

I want to say a “big" thank you for blessing the Haney family and the community that visited Tiffany Fellowship during the visitation and the funeral this week. The compliments continue to come in from the Funeral Directors to the School District, from family to friends and from people in our own congregation.

In Christ,


Pastor John

Celebrating Life

In times of real hurt and loss it is sometimes hard to feel the love of God. We are so overwhelmed with grief and sorrow we tend to look inward not upward. This past week Cameron Haney went home to be with the Lord. Cameron made a huge impact in students and adults lives far beyond what any of us knew. The stories of how Cameron shared Christ with others, was a friend to those that needed a friend seemed to never end this week. At the hospital, during the Odessa graduation and even those that stopped by the house to share the memories of what a great guy we all know as Cameron continue to live on. Remember when the going gets tough, the tough fall on their knees and look to God for strength and comfort. Call on God today.... He is waiting!


So here are some reflections...

When someone asks what's it like to hang out with you, how will you be described?

What will people say about you when you are no longer here?

Do you know where your eternity will be spent?


I know that God in His sovereign will wants each of us to know Him personally and to spend eternity with Him... Are you ready?
