1 Don t Waste Your Church 2 Kings 22 Patrick Lamb, Pastoral Intern Ralph Nygard, Lead Pastor September 2, 2018

2 Dear Church family, Our Church is really blessed to have so many of our young people enter into vocational ministry. This morning, Patrick Lamb, who currently serves part time with our church, is sharing the morning messages. As many of you know, Patrick has been part of Eau Gallie First since he was a newborn. He grew up being part of the youth group, and later after graduating college, he served in China for a couple of years as a missionary journeyman. After finishing his ministry in China, he returned back to Melbourne and entered in the joy of marriage with his wife Kelly. Kelly is an middle school teacher. Their first child, Theodore just turned one year old, and they recently announced the upcoming birth of another child. Patrick is enrolled in Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary through their distance studies, and is a little over a third of the way toward his Masters of Divinity Degree. He feels like his calling is directed toward being a Lead Pastor after his graduation. His parents, Martin and Donna Lamb are faithful members of church, and Martin serves as a deacon and a Sunday School teacher. Continue to pray and encourage Patrick as he serves the Lord faithfully at EGFirst. Blessings, FROM THE PASTOR The Disciple s Path starting Sunday, September 9. While peace and joy and power and victory are every believer s birthright, it is also true that our journey includes some rugged terrain: trials and tribulations, setbacks, disappointments, and struggles. These messages are designed to help you understand that living a life of a disciple is not easy, but will pay off with an eternal reward. Daddy Daughter Dance: September 21 (7-9PM) $15 per family.
