MAFIA – Let’s Help Carla Wallace

Greetings Hitmen,

I hope all of you are well and of to a great New Year! Look, I know this is last minute, and its partly my fault for sure – but we need to get some help together for one of our NLC single mothers.  Ms. Carla Wallace is moving this weekend from her home at 29 Ozark Dr., Maumelle to a nearby apartment complex and she could really use our help.

Her plans are to move this weekend on Saturday, 16 January 2010, beginning at 10:00 AM.  This being a local move I don’t anticipate it taking too long if we can get a pretty good sized group together.

If you have a heart to help Carla and her sons, or some additional time this Saturday, we’d love to see you out there.  If you are interested, please drop me an email at lribich@swbell.net and I’ll give you directions and ay other details I have at that time.  I’d really like to see about five (5) of our Hitmen get in on helping Carla and her sons.  I know that she and they boys will greatly appreciate it and you will enjoy not only being of service but being in fellowship with other selfless men of NLC.

In His Service,

Luke Ribich

Plan “B” – A Message from John Craft

Guys,

Due to the church’s period of prayer and fasting meeting being at 6:30 each evening, I am planning to modify the MAFIA meeting this week. We will not have a meal and I am asking the MAFIA guys (including you) to attend the church meeting with your MAFIA shirts on. I think it will be good for us as men to show support for this activity. Pastor Bezet will pray over the MAFIA guys there and will speak directly to the MAFIA at another time this year – probably February, schedule permitting. Please help me spread the word and let’s try to have a strong showing on Tuesday night to support the whole body of Christ.

Thanks,

John Craft

Rick Bezet to Speak at next MAFIA Meeting

Greetings Hitmen,

I hope you all are well and that your Christmas & New Year holidays were safe, restful and above all filled with FOOTBALL! OK, I know some of you tend more towards the outdoors, technology and other holiday diversions like food; however, whatever you did I sincerely hope it was enjoyable and that you remembered that Jesus Christ is the reason for the Season.

Speaking of football, the results are in!  the First Annual NLC MAFIA Fantasy Football Leagues have finished the season.  And the concluding weeks were filled with surprise upsets and great games. Our own Matt Rush will be presenting all the league results as well some of his own brand of color commentary.

We heard that some of you were slacking in attendance because you were tired of hearing about the Razorbacks.  So, we’ve got another SEC leader coming to share his heart with us.  That’s right guys, this month our own founding pastor Rick Bezet will be giving a message to our group.  Although we don’t yet know what he’s planning on sharing, its a safe bet it won’t involve being feminized by the church.  In fact it will likely to challenge your heart and head. John and the team cannot wait – as long as he doesn’t wear purple.

FOOD!  What NLC ministry does food better than the MAFIA?  That’s right guys NOBODY.  And let’s give it up to Craig Brzezinski and his supporting cast for all the hard work they do to keep the man-food coming.  This month we will be having

Now the details:

• When: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 @ 6:30 PM
• Where: Family Room – NLC GLR Campus
• Who: Any man under (18 also included – Unless Pastor Harry Speaks)
• Why: Masculine Fellowship, Encouragement and Accountability

Now here’s a great message from a couple of solid guys we recently found that some of you might not have seen. Enjoy:
