So, I am way late on this but I wanted to share some pictures from our Christmas party! We missed everyone that couldn't make it! I hope Michael had a great time playing his first-ever Dirty Santa!

Restart Your Career
We are in the middle of the series "Restart Your Life" and this past Sunday's message about restarting your career. It is refreshing to hear these real life applications of the Bible! I thought I would take the outline and bring out a few key points.
1) Change is more invitable than ever, so expect to make multiple career changes over time.
Example - Joseph (Gensis 37: 3 - 4, 28)
Changing jobs is not a declaration of failure; your willingness to change can be how you embrace what has next.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 - There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven (makes me think of the movie "Footloose")
2) Your self-worth should come from who you are and not from what you do.
Genesis 39:4, 20 & 22
Colssians 3:23 - Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
3) Employers want people with current skills and insights so be a life-long learner and embrace technology.
Genesis 41:39 - 40
Proverbs 19:8 - Those who love learning will succeed.
I think COTES has really embraced this and God is blessing. Who knows what else God has instore for the church as we move through 2011. It is so neat to see the Thomasville campus officially start and see the Gautier, MS campus find a building. I never would have dreamed a church could form through an internet feed of the pastor being projected through - so awesome! I thought it was neat to hear Pastor Mark talk about the Church on the Eastern Shore really being the church BEYOND the Eastern Shore.
