Trista Price… June 14, 2009

…has been seriously slacking on this whole blog thingy! =) Please forgive me!

Kids Camp was GREAT!!! I (along with the kids, I’m sure) had a BLAST and I can’t wait till Winter Camp! =) Kudos to Pastor Herb, who got to sleep in a “closet suite” for the weekend! Hee hee! You ROCK, Pastor!!!

Family Camp was also pretty great! A TON of people showed up, we ate a TON of food, and participated in a TON of awesome activities!!! Aside from the fact that I had a massive migraine for half the weekend (thanks everyone for the prayers!), I know that everyone had a LOT of fun! Thanks to Bud and Tammy Rearick for putting it all together, and to my wonderful mom (Bonnie Lawson) for organizing the super fun games!!! And also, to all those who just showed up! =) I love doing life with you all!!!

See you all soon! Hopefully that Trista girl will start doing a better job at blogging more often! *wink, wink*

Love to all!

Women’s Weekly “Craft” Social May 17, 2009

Hey ladies!

Last Thursday, I went over to Jeanne Newman’s house with Mary Jane Rhodes and Debbie Duhnovsky. As we talked about church, family, friends, and just our lives in general, Jeanne quilted, Debbie made an adorable birthday book for her granddaughter, Mary Jane put together a recipe book, and I crocheted (sort of). I’ll admit that with all the conversing, I didn’t crochet much. =)

However, it was so fun, that we decided we want to do it again…only this time…we want YOU to come too!

Join us for some fun and fellowship this Thursday at 10 am. Bring a craft (or anything, really) and be prepared to enjoy some quality time with good friends.

Call Jeanne with any questions! 574-225-0640

Happy Mother’s Day! May 11, 2009

Hey everybody!

Service was pretty great today! Great music, great message, great gifts for the moms…just an all around great day! =) I didn’t get to enjoy it as much as I would’ve liked, being in the sound booth, but Kevin and I were happy to give Dave and Elaine a break and let them enjoy the Mother’s Day service. It was a blessing to us all.

I hope all the mothers had a blessed Mother’s Day today! We love and appreciate you all so much!

Heartland United! April 29, 2009

Let’s get excited for TECHNOLOGY!!! =)

*This blog was stolen by Pastor Heath from Plymouth’s blog. Thanks for the stolen material, Heath! =)*

Thursday April 30, May 7, and May 14, at the Winamac campus, COTH ministries are hosting mid-week video teachings called Heartland United.  Each week a different COTH pastor will be broadcasting live from their campus or home.  Mark your calendars and plan on being part of this new avenue of reaching people through technology!

If you can’t make it to church, church will come to you.  On these dates starting at 7PM, you can watch it live on Mogulus.  Here is a link.  www.mogulus.com/churchoftheheartland We will be using great COTH teachers with the message that is burning in their heart.  There will be time set apart for interaction and relationship, not just a message.

This will be LIVE and you can ask questions from home or at the local churches through Mogulus.

If you need a shot of FAITH in the middle of the week, well here it is.

See ya there! =)

Hey COTH!!! April 28, 2009

Ok, so I think I figured out how to add myself to this thing. LOL! Therefore I will no longer be using Pastor John’s name to blog, it will be my own!

I feel like it’s official now. =)

Love and blessings to all!

♥Trista♥

P.S. I also have a separate blog that I’ll be doing on my own just for fun. Feel free to visit! (http://tristacothblogger.wordpress.com/)

IS ANYONE OUT THERE?!?! April 23, 2009

Ok, so when Jeanne asked me to start doing the blog, I was totally psyched! I love blogging! I get to talk away and, whoever reads it, has to listen! =)

So, people have been coming up to me in church telling me what a wonderful job I’m doing blogging. But if you’re reading them, WHY AREN’T YOU COMMENTING??? But then, as I was talking to Chris Miller Sunday night, I found out that she’s having the same problem! Now, I’m sorry. But if Chris can’t get anyone to comment on her blog, what chance do I have? I do have to give props to Heath, Misti, and Jeanne, who occasionally comment, but that list is pretty short! I also understand that “leaving comments” is not everyone’s cup of tea, but for those of you who don’t mind leaving an encouraging word, it would help TREMENDOUSLY!!!

So, look alive people! At least pretend like you read what I blog about! LOL! It would be great to know that I’m not blogging for nothing! =)

Ok, so there’s my rant for today. LOL! Comments, please!!!!!!!!!

It’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming! April 10, 2009

They call today “Good Friday”. Why is it “good”? Because it’s the Friday before Easter. The Friday that Jesus died on the cross for you and I. Tonight, at 7 pm in Winamac, is the Good Friday service and it is going to ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!!! From silly videos, to powerful songs, this service will be anything but boring, anything but quiet, and nothing short of spectacular! JOIN US!!!

Also, this Sunday is our Easter service. It too will be an extremely powerful, amazing service. It starts at 9 am. See you there!!!

Remember, Jesus died for you…then, He rose to give you hope!!! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!
