If you've lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you've probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. That's the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people grieving the loss of someone close. Each GriefShare session includes a video seminar and group discussion. A GriefShare workbook assists you with note-taking, journaling and grief study. The videos feature top experts on grief recovery, dramatic reenactments about living with grief and real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours. You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is "self-contained," so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.

Sean served as a paramedic for Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services, (MEMS Ambulance Service), based in Little Rock from 1991-2007. He achieved the rank of Captain and his last duties were as supervisor of the Training Department and EMS Academy at MEMS. Sean received his Bachelor of Ministry (B.Min.) degree in 2009 from the Center for Advanced Ministry Training at Harding University. He joined our ministry staff in January, 2006. "It is a blessing and honor to have an opportunity to serve my home congregation. There is so much talent and spiritual leadership at Somers. My charge as Minister of Involvement & Outreach is five-fold and can be found woven through the history of the early Church in Acts: 1) Commit to scripture; 2) Commit to one another; 3) Commit to Prayer; 4) Commit to praise and worship; 5) Commit to outreach." It truly is great to be a Christian at Somers Avenue. Click here to e-mail Sean.

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:27:05 MST http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=9 http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=9&article_id=19 Date of Birth: January 30th, Champaign, Illinois Wife: Faye (Gatewood) Children: Sean (& wife Tressa), Shannon (& husband Jeff Galyan) Grandchildren: Jackson, Callie, & Cooper Ashberry; Ty & Tanner Galyan Occupation: Laboratory Director, Baptist Medical Center, Little Rock Year I came to Somers Avenue: I came to 6th & Maple in the sixth grade and have been with this congregation through its move to Somers Avenue in the early eighties. Year I became an Elder: I've served as a deacon and as an elder over the years with many faithful Christian men and am proud to have begun serving again in 2004 with our current faithful elders and deacons. Ministries I am closely involved with: Evangelism, Family & Seniors, Gospel Meetings, Administration, Fellowships My fondest experiences so far as an Elder: 1) Seeing the results of many years of hard work and sacrifice that my wife Faye and I put into our family come to fruition through my children growing up and maturing in the Lord and developing their own faithful Christian families. 2) Seeing members of this congregation who we've had in our home as children grow into faithful Christian parents who themselves have brought up faithful Christian children. 3) Seeing the multitude of Christians here who were adults when I was a child, continue to maintain their faithful Christian example throughout the many years of their life and serve as an encouragement to all of us. 4) Seeing my son accept the postition as Minister of Involvement and Outreach. My personal dreams and goals for Somers Avenue: 1) That we will be able to continue to strengthen our church families and feed them on God's Word as they will be the future of the church. 2) That we will be able to find more and more ways to teach and encourage every member to be more courageous in carrying God's Word to our community and ultimately the world. 3) That Somers Avenue will always be an example to others in following God's Word and planting His seed and will be known for teaching the Truth in love. Myself in a few words: Two of my favorite scriptures are: Concerning my wife, Faye: "Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me." Ruth 1:16-17 Concerning my family and my life: "And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

It is very possible. It happened with us." - Kristi "At first I thought it would be silly because my husband and I have a good marriage, but after the first week we realized that we wanted more out of our marriage.

Al and Margaret Morgan traveled to the border with the intent of delivering funds to them and helping with a VBS and medical mission effort. However, on July 11th, following a visit in the middle of the International Bridge with Juan Carlos Calderon who is the preacher at Progresso, and under advisement of a friend of theirs who is on the Border Patrol, the Morgan's decided it was not safe for them to continue to Progresso. They transferred the funds to bro. Calderon who took them back to Progresso on our behalf. The following information is based on the recent travel to Mexico by the Morgans. I appreciate them sharing this experience with us. Juan Carlos and all of the members were very worried that they would be robbed during the medical mission. Thankfully, this did not happen. VBS was Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with an average attendance of 90 children. The medical mission was held on Thursday and Friday with approximately 50 people attending the first day and 70 attending the last day. We are proud of them, considering it was their first time to plan even a VBS on their own. Although they had no baptisms during the mission they were able to line up several Bible studies. They are very good at following up with contacts. This year they have had 9 baptisms, mostly from home Bible studies. We need to keep them in our prayers. The poverty level continues to rise. Several of the Christians make their living as street vendors, and with no American tourists, their income has dwindled. They are also living under constant fear of the gangs. Hopefully, conditions will improve soon and we will be able to visit with them again. Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:28:17 MST http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=39 http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=39&article_id=154 Eliazar writes: Brothers in Arkansas, First, I want to give you a cordial greeting from me and my family and the church. We are thankful to God and to you for the economic help that you have decided to give for the work of the ministry in preaching here in Nuevo Progreso, Tampulipas. This is the report that corresponds to this month: The first week was the week that we were able to air condition the house where we were going to live and clean everything. The second week was spent moving our furniture from Teynosa to Nuevo Progreso. Brothers Juan and Alberto from the valley in Texas are the ones who did me the favor of helping move everything. Brother Juan brought a trailer and so we were able to make the change from one place to the other. Those two brothers have also been visiting with us in Nuevo Progreso and the last Sunday of July, these two brothers and their wives were in Nuevo Progreso and worshipped with us. The first Sunday we had an attendance of 24 adult people and 27 children. It was a good day for our first day as preacher of that congregation and besides, we had a "welcome fellowship." Also, on that Sunday I presented our plan of work for this year. We were already pretty much in agreement since we had already been associated with these brethren, and we decided to begin meeting on Sunday evenings, since they had only been meeting in the mornings. Also we made plans for the schedule of Thursday evenings and a young people's class which they had not been doing. The first Sunday of each month, we will have a fellowship, there will be studies in homes of non-Christians during the week, these will begin with some contacts we have made thorugh the medical campaigns during the summer. Also, there was a problem between two sisters and we think we have worked out a solution and all has been well. On the following Sunday, the 13th of August, we had an attendance of 20 adults and 18 children and for the evening there were 12 adults and 20 children and on Thursday, the 17th of August the attendance was 22 adults and 12 children. On the 20th of August, the attendance was 24 adults and 17 children in the morning and in the evening there were 20 adults and 15 children. The brother in charge of the young people's class is Brother Florentino who is known by many of you. He had 9 young people in his class and has only had 2 classes with them, but we have no doubts that the number in this group will increase. OK brothers, this is my report for the month. We hope that next month we may be able to have an even better report. God keep you always; greetings to all. Your brothers in Christ, Eliazar and Florentino Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:28:17 MST http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=49 http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=49&article_id=232 BirthsPrayer ListSympathyMonthly Workers Sat, 5 Jun 2010 13:53:52 MST http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=15 http://www.somersavenue.org/app/w_page.php?type=section&id=15&article_id=261 CLASSES FOR ALL AGES: Summer Quarter (June, July, & August) SUNDAY ~ 9:00 A.M.

She met her husband, Danny, in high school and introduced him to the Lord's church. They married soon after her graduation. They have two sons who both graduated from Central Arkansas Christian School and Harding University. Chad is employed with Verizon and resides in North Little Rock. He has one son, Cole. Kyle and his wife Sara reside in Pensacola where Kyle serves as the pulpit Minister for the Scenic Hills congregation. Sara is working toward her degree in Elementary Education while employed as an Office Rep in a family practice clinic. Judy and Danny, along with their sons, began worshiping with Somers Avenue in 1983. Judy served as church secretary for Somers from 1985-1993. She retired from her position as Office Representative for Baptist-Health Lakewood Family Clinic in the fall of 2004. Judy began her work as Somer's Ministerial Assistant in January 2006. Danny is the Customer Service Manager for Central Arkansas Water and serves as one of the elders at Somers. Judy is thrilled at having her parents, Chester and Wilma Ingram, her son, Chad, and little grandson Cole, attending at Somers creating four generations of her family worshiping together. 'It is such a blessing to once again be working with my home congregation. I have worked in a variety of positions through the years and none are as rewarding as working with your church family. My goal is to use the gifts and skills that God has provided me to contribute to the effectiveness of our Elders and Ministers through administrative support allowing them to focus on their areas of ministry."
