To Parents of M Weekenders,

Hopefully this is not new news but M Weekend is right around the corner…this weekend, April 24-26. The format and schedule for this weekend will be a little bit different and as always we want to make sure you’re involved. On Friday night, we’ll be starting of the weekend at my house (2229 Wildwood Rd. right across from The Roanoke Valley Church) with a cookout and we want you to come and stay for this time. If you are coming all I need you to do is call me (521-6728) or e mail me (brett@wsbaptist.org) and let me know how many you will be bringing including your Middle School student. Please do this by Thursday April 23rd so we can prepare accordingly.

This year our theme is “The Heart” and we will be teaching on and discussing our hearts, learning what the Bible has to say about them, and how our hearts are to function in God’s government. One of the reasons for this is that I fear that our hearts go unguarded as they pass under the radar of our watchfulness. In Proverbs we’re told to keep our heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life and I’m not so sure we understand what exactly we’re to keep, so we’ll talk about that. Another reason is the worldly way of thinking about our hearts that is propagated at every turn in phrases like, “Follow your heart” etc. The world pulls on our heart strings and then encourages us to follow something that is deceitfully wicked according to God. The results are monstrous when this ensues. A third reason, for this theme is that central to our understanding of salvation is the heart and the miraculous work of the Spirit of God replacing our heart of stone with a heart of flesh. So those are some of the things we’ll be looking at.

Brett
