2011 in review
2011 in review – to helpyou with gathering some 2011 memories for this Sabbath and/or you can check “bulletins” on riveroflifegrmi.org toreview what all was scheduled for this past year.
Suggestions: Specialimpartations from the Lord that youreceived during any part of any service (includingthe small groups not meeting in the sanctuary) ; particular fun times withgroups and/or individuals; special times in special groups that meet apart fromthe services (e.g., media club, Amen, TV 25, etc….), prayers answered; ministry you did apart fromROL ; revelation knowledge received in 2011; special blessings, bad habitsbroken/good ones formed; newrelationships that are a blessing; milestones, etc…. Did you have someone over to your home or didsomeone have you? Was there some specialsharing that caused you to feel more a part of someone or a group here? Did Godgive an ongoing body, soul, and/or spiritual miracle and/or healing? Specialcommunion time? Prayer time? Open pulpitthat you gave on an end of study cycle time that really took special effort onyour part and caused you to get more excited about those times?
This list includes somethings R/R did in addition to regular service times, i.e., it is a sort of R/Rcentered list in many ways; however, you could remember a special date and timefor you.
