Prayer request for Tim Flachman and his son Caleb

MorningStar Men,

Our brother Tim Flachman needs our prayers and support for his son Caleb and his family as well.

Tim is a MorningStar Media specialist and was on vacation recently with his family when he and his son had a boating accident. Tim is ok. Caleb suffered a concussion and bruises as well, but the doctors also discovered a benign 6 inch tumor in his spine. Since then, Caleb has been transferred to a Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and tommorrow will undergo a 10 hour surgery to have the tumor removed.

We need you to pray for Caleb and Tim's family and if you would like to know the details or more about how you can help the family please visit the link below to Caleb's Caringbridge page that Tim is updating regularly and also has a place for you to send well wishes, encouragement, etc.

Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Here is an August 9, 2011 update and prayer request for Caleb Flachman:

Caleb will have surgery tomorrow, Wednesday, August 10, to remove the tumor on his spine. Without too many details, the surgery will be very involved and will begin first thing in the morning. It is expected to be an all day surgery, about 10+ hours.

Thank you for your prayers during this time.

Here is a link where you can keep up with more information about Caleb Flachman:

Breath of Life

Martin Powell is a virtuoso clarinetist and I have been blessed to hear him perform twice in the past week. Both times he played the Adagio Movement from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. The first time was evening in the Grand Cafe, the second time was morning on Prayer Mountain in Moravian Falls. Whether morning or evening, large group or small, Martin was one with the instrument- the picture of discipline and devotion; public evidence of years spent in solitude. The sound produced by Martin's breath passing over a reed defies my intellect and inspires my imagination. To watch an instrument submit to a musician, as the clarinet does to Martin, confirms for me the power attainable when the created works with the creator. Teresa of Avila puts it thus, "...Martha and Mary walking together." 

Genesis 2:7 reads, 'Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.' The word translated 'being' is, in the Hebrew, neh-fesh; literally- 'one who breathes'.

When Martin Powell plays Mozart's Clarinet Concerto all of creation hears the breath of life.

Thank You to the Men of MorningStar Fellowship

Thank you to all the men who came out June 18th for the Men's Ministry Gathering!

It was a blessing to see your faces and have the opportunity to share, enjoy food have fellowship with you. We appreciate your effort to share input and help us grow as a vital part of MorningStar. Thank you for your patience as we walked through the birthing process of this ministry. We look forward to the future and all that the Lord is building in and through us.

A special "THANK YOU" to Carolyn Peacher for her time and talent at our June 18th meeting.

Thanks also to ALL the men who have come out this year to be a part of the Men's Ministry! We have an awesome group of men that the Lord has called together in this vineyard for such a time as this. Your commitment, service and sacrifice have been a blessing to our church family, school (CSCL), and community.

We are looking forward to staying connected during the summer and hope that you will encourage other men in our church family to join our blogsite so that our circle can expand and become more effective as a resource for the men of MorningStar.

Enjoy your families and time to seek and grow closer to the Lord.

Thanks again for the privilege of serving you.

Prayer Request/Website for John Boneck's wife, Barbara

MorningStar Men,

Recently, our brother John Boneck's wife, Barbara, was admitted into the hospital at the end of May for tests. Since then, she has undergone a lot of tests and gone through a surgery due to an aggressive cancer. She is home now with John.

They have had so many people ask about Barbara’s prayer needs and physical needs that it has been impossible to respond to everyone, so they have created a web site.

Simply go to the caringbridge website by clicking on the link below. Click in the “Journal” section to receive updates. And sign the guestbook if you would like.

We are in touch with the One who knows more than doctors. Please join us in bringing about Barbara's complete healing through your prayers as well as the Lord's supernatural grace,peace and strength for John and his family during this time.

Thank you for your love and prayers.

MorningStar Men Needed to Help Clear Warehouse 6/27/11 for Gym Work to Begin!

MorningStar Men,

We are planning to clean out the warehouse at the CSCL school this coming Monday June 27th, 2011 in preparation for the gymnasium work to begin!

We can get this done in a day with enough volunteers on hand.

We NEED YOUR HELP to make this happen. We are asking volunteers to show up at 9:00am till 2:00pm.

Clint Rogers - (CSCL staff) will be delegating the duties that day. He has been working with the school for 5 years now and knows the warehouse very,very well. He will be a huge help.

Contact Clint through this blog post if you are a blogsite member or at csclrogers@gmail.com with any questions concering volunteering to help with the warehouse clearance on Monday, June 27th.

We are counting on our MORNINGSTAR MEN stepping up to the plate as we begin to see the fruition of our CSCL Gymnasium begin to come to pass! This facility will be a blessing for our youth, our adults, church, school, community and region once it is completed. Your time, skills and talent sown into making it a reality will reap a harvest for generations to come.

We believe we have one of the most valuable groups of resources on the planet among our men's membership at MorningStar and that we are embarking on just the tip of all that the Lord will accomplish through us for the glory of His Kingdom.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
