“The Great Diaper Drop-Off!”

Hey everyone we just wanted to give you a quick reminder that The Sweet Life Fellowship will be holding “The Great Diaper Drop-Off!” outside of the Mount Airy Wal-mart from 9am-9pm on June 6th. This will be our third diaper drive. In our first two efforts we were able to collect over 7800 diapers and 5000 wipes for Lifeline Pregnancy Center. This drive is being conducted in memory of Kayla Paige Norman, an amazing young lady who lived her life as a shining example of Christ’s love. Kayla boldly participated in our drive last October and helped to collect thousands of diapers that directly benefited families in our community.


“The Kayla Norman Great Diaper Drop-Off!” takes place next Saturday, June 6th. So we need to spread the word as quickly as possible. Please help us to get the message out and help us change the world one diaper at a time. For those who would like to help, you may bring diapers by outside Wal-mart on the 6th or stop by and put an oversized diaper on, shake a baby rattle and help us at the tent for awhile. It’s a lot of fun and an opportunity to live your faith out loud! We will also be collecting monetary donations throughout the day which will be spent at the end of the evening to buy more diapers.

Please help us spread the word about this event. Let your friends, and family know what’s going on and encourage them to spread the word as well. With God all things are possible and when we work together in His name and for His service there is nothing that we cannot accomplish.

Please also share information about this event with your church leadership all help is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Thanks and God bless you,

Project Connect!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know about a new and exciting outreach called "Project Connect" that The Sweet Life Fellowship will be doing on an ongoing basis within our community. We're going to need your help to make this outreach successful.

If you have any older, used, non-working, or unwanted computers or monitors we would love to have them. We will take your donated computers equip them with educational, Bible study, and family friendly software and begin putting them into the homes of folks who are unable to afford a computer. Through this outreach we hope to illustrate the life changing love that Christ shows by equipping, educating, and empowering our community toward personal and spiritual growth opportunities while also building continuing friendships with those whom we help.

In addition in the months ahead to help bridge the digital learning divide we will be scheduling basic computer training classes periodically as we begin placing computers in homes. We will also begin more in depth classes in a variety of subjects including internet outreach & evangelism, basic web design, e-commerce, and other I.T. related vocational training. These classes will be free and available to all within our community.

Please consider helping us with this outreach. By working together, showing Christ's love, and helping one life at a time we can truly change the world.



You may contact us through email at projectconnect@lifesosweet.com or via telephone at (336)710-7960.



Thanks and God bless you,

The Sweet Life/Surry Scan Game Bonanza

I wanted to send a big Praise Report about all that God did this weekend at The Game Bonanza.

It was so great seeing everybody at The Sweet Life/Surry Scan Game Bonanza, this past Saturday. We had an amazing time out at the Meadowview community building. I want to send out a massive thank you to all those folks who were so generous with their resources and time who helped in so many ways. God bless each of you, because of your efforts we had an awesome day ministering out in our community. We ended up having a crowd of about 80 folks who joined us for great music, lots of games and free hot dogs, sodas, and chips. We had a blast with all kinds of crazy games and prizes for the kids and we were even able to get some grownups to play along which really made things interesting.

God also blessed us on Saturday with the wonderful opportunity to get in His presence as we praised and worshiped Jesus with 1Accord and Aaron Butler along with the worshipful stylings of “The Build-A-Band Project”…you had to be there…lol. It was so great to just worship God outside in the midst of our neighborhoods.

Most of all we thank God for the opportunity Saturday evening to share the Gospel message and we rejoice for the six folks in attendance that raised their hands and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. God was so good to us on Saturday showing us His overwhelming grace and mercy poured out in our community. We are so thankful to God that we were able to be a part of this amazing day.

Lifenites Study Notes

Hey folks just wanted to post the notes from our previous Lifenites meeting. This study is called "20 Cans of Success" and is part of the "Victory Over the Darkness" series by Neil T. Anderson. These "cans" are excellent for encouragement and help to reveal our identity in Christ.
So next time you are having a bad day, grab your bible and pop open some of these "cans" to help you get refreshed...

Twenty Cans Of Success

By: Neil Anderson

1. Why should I say I can't when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)?
   
   
2. Why should I lack when I know that God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)?
   
   
3. Why should I fear when the Bible says God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)?
   
   
4. Why should I lack faith to fulfill my calling knowing that God as allotted to me a measure of faith (Romans 12:3)?
   
   
5. Why should I be weak when the Bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life and that I will display strength and take action because I know God (Psalm 27:1; Daniel 11:32)?
   
   
6. Why should I allow Satan supremacy over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)?
   
   
7. Why should I accept defeat when the Bible says that God always leads me in triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14)?
   
   
8. Why should I lack wisdom when Christ became wisdom to me from God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for it (1 Corinthians 1:30; James 1:5)?
   
   
9. Why should I be depressed when I can recall to mind God's lovingkindness, compassion, and faithfulness and have hope (Lamentations 3:21-23)?
   
   
10. Why should I worry and fret when I can cast all my anxiety on Christ who cares for me (1 Peter 5:7)?
    
    
11. Why should I ever be in bondage knowing that there is liberty where the Spirit of the Lord is (2 Corinthians 3:17)?
    
    
12. Why should I feel condemned when the Bible says I am not condemned because I am in Christ (Romans 8:1)?
    
    
13. Why should I feel alone when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me nor forsake me (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5)?
    
    
14. Why should I feel accursed or that I am the victim of bad luck when the Bible says that Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law that I might receive His Spirit (Galatians 3:13-14)?
    
    
15. Why should I be discontented when I, like Paul, can learn to be content in all my circumstances (Philippians 4:11)?
    
    
16. Why should I feel worthless when Christ became sin on my behalf that I might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21)?
    
    
17. Why should I have a persecution complex knowing that nobody can be against me when God is for me (Romans 8:31)?
    
    
18. Why should I be confused when God is the author of peace and He gives me knowledge through His indwelling Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:33; 2:12)?
    
    
19. Why should I feel like a failure when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ (Romans 8:37)?
    
    
20. Why should I let the pressures of life bother me when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and its tribulations (John 16:33)?

The Sweet Life at Sonquest

Hey folks,

It was so great seeing everyone who attended Sonquest this past Saturday. What a great time we had at Veterans Park. It was very hot but God provided shade for us courtesy of the kind folks at All Star Rentals in Elkin who donated the use of a canopy. Thanks also to all those folks who were generous with their resources and time who helped in so many ways, including baking, labeling, wrapping, etc. God bless each of you, because of your efforts we had an awesome day ministering to our community. It was a day of great joy and excitement. It was amazing to see all the smiling happy faces as they visited our table. Cookies, peanut butter delights, brownies, and candy were all distributed throughout the day as well as nearly 700 glowsticks as the night fell. The day was truly blessed as we visited with everyone we knew and made some new friends as well. It was so great to get to know the kind folks at Surry SCAN, we look forward to that relationship growing and can’t wait till we are able to work together on some future projects. We also met some great folks who are doing children’s ministry in unique and creative ways. Its no coincidence when God puts people in your path and we plan on utilizing every relationship that He has for us. A big thanks also goes out to the kind people who work hard to make Sonquest happen each year. It’s a gargantuan effort with mountains of work involved. Thank God it comes with such an awesome reward.

So now it’s on to this week and our next Sweet Life Fellowship event. This Thursday night, August 30^th at 7PM at Mobys Coffee in Mt. Airy, NC you are all invited to Lifenites. Lifenites features worship, preaching and fellowship all right where life is happening. All are welcome to attend, there are no dress codes or requirements of any kind. Just come on out and see us for a great evening of seeking Gods presence.

There are many other awesome events coming in the next few weeks so please check our website for more info about The Sweet Life Fellowship as well as pics of our past events @ www.lifesosweet.com

See you Thursday night at Mobys!

We love ya’ll.

Coooooookies!!!!

Hey everyone, hope you have had a great week this week. The Sweet Life has been pretty busy in the kitchen the past few days. at our home and at several other homes within the fellowship the fragrance of cookies and brownies have filled the air. Folks have been baking throughout the week and we are almost ready for Sonquest tomorrow at Veterans Park in Mt. Airy. The Sweet Life Fellowship will have a table set up and will be distributing cookies, candies, glowsticks and scripture to as many folks as we can. We will also be available to minister through fellowship, prayer, and encouragement. Sometimes folks just need to see a kind face and hear an uplifting word to brighten their day. This week has been awesome for The Sweet Life, we have had many wonderful folks help out in numerous ways so that tomorrows giveaway would be possible. Thanks to all those who have committed to spending countless hours stirring, mixing, scooping, preheating, etc. as well as the generous folks who have helped financially and with other donations. All of your help is greatly appreciated. Tomorrow will be an awesome day of fun and excitement. It is after all the day the Lord has made so let us rejoice and be glad in it. Local bands begin playing at 3PM so come on out and spend the day with us. We look forward to seeing you there.
