Spring Men's Walk - April 19-22, 2012
Lay Director - Doug King - Theme: HE'S STILL GOD - Song: Blessed Be Your Name
Greetings, my name is Doug King and I was asked if I’d consider taking on the role of Lay Director more than once. Humbling to say the least and I really needed some leading (I had said yes before and the walks did not happen).
So one day, shortly after the offer of Lay Director was given, I’m at work talking with God – kinda goin’ back and forth with him over ‘yes or no’. So, I shut up for a few seconds (stopped arguing) and God starts down loading MY 4th day talk!
My testimony and personal experiences have proved to me many things, but two are very real right now:
1) Good and Bad things happen for a reason.
2) God doesn’t always ask for my approval (seldom really) before he adjusts my world.
I am learning (I hope) that if I listen, He will lead me, help me and keep me through it all. Our God is an AMAZINGLY powerful, Loving Healing God!! He’s with us wherever we are, geographically and spiritually. Whether we’re on that Mountain Top Holy Ghost inspired ‘HIGH’ or being led by the hand, even carried through the dessert, HE IS STILL GOD and I will serve HIM! .

Lay Director - Faye Wells - Theme: LOVE SO AMAZING - Song: Jesus Messiah
My name is Faye Wells, Women’s Lay Director for Walk #72. The familiar following verse, has always had a deep impact on me. “For God so love the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish by have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NRSV) As a mother and grandmother, I can’t imagine sacrificing even a small part of one of my children.
I selected “Jesus Messiah” (or “Love So Amazing”) by Chris Tomlin as my theme song for Walk 72 because the words spoke to me about the unconditional love God has for us.
“He became sin who knew no sin, that we might become His righteousness. He humbled himself and carried the cross. Love so amazing!”
The song continues… “His body the bread, His blood the wine, broken and poured out all for love.”
Many years ago, participating in communion was a reward for my completing two years of confirmation classes. It continues to be a very special part of worship for me. Each time I eat the bread and drink the wine, I am reminded of not only the sacrifice, but also the blessings and promise of immediate forgiveness simply because I believe that Jesus died for me.
As Paul said in Romans 8:38, “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
LOVE SO AMAZING!!
