ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 Stair Climb approaching. Also approaching this Fall: Annual F3 National Gathering in Wilmington, NC. See Refueler for more info.
COT: Today’s Thang focused on the negative portion of each exercise. Everyone was invited to do the opposite with their attitude by speaking and thinking more positively (Philippians 4:8). Rather than complaining about needing to wear masks again or traffic, Mutumbo has vowed to speak about God, and how He knows and loves us, and is all knowing, and is everywhere we are, and how he sent His only son to die for our sins.

COT: Appreciate those that was able to make it out on this muggy gloom. Also appreciate all that have encouraged me throughout my first year with F3. Recited first stanza of the old Gospel song sung How I Got Over sung by the great Gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, “How I Got Over, How I Got Over, My Soul Looks Back and Wonder How I Got Over”. I got over this past year with the help of my brothers from F3. Prayer was a moment of silence to concentrate on all we are great-full for this pasty year. Closed prayer with “…and we are so very great full for all of the blessings we have received amen”.
