Share Your Story!
Sometimes we just need ideas. Perhaps in your congregation you have seen specific, unique acts of caring for the pastor and/or his family. Others could benefit by reading about it. Share your story by writing a paragraph and sending it to us. We will post them here online and some may appear in future print issues.

Prayer
Fri, Jul 02, 2010
We are all creatures of habit. Should Christians allocate a specific time each day to pray and read the Bible? Should they be consistent so that it gets to be a habit, so that if they miss a day, they feel like the day is not complete?
Prayer

If time is the missing ingredient of your prayer life, you may want to try setting aside a specific time and place to get together with God each day in prayer.

I resolve ... to pray. Dear God, this time it's different. I admit that too often I've tried to go it alone. It hasn't worked. Please help me pray.

The subject before us is an exceedingly practical one. To those who are spiritually minded, the subject is of vital importance because God's will in every phase of their lives is a matter of great concern to them. True faith always results in works of righteousness.

Prayer

Disruption: anything that messes with my routine. Today's economic downturn - a massive disruption. Many of us have felt the pain of being told, "Your job has been terminated." Or maybe you're a young person completing your schooling only to find out that the career opportunity you had worked so hard to prepare for no longer exists. Dreams and plans disrupted. Where do we turn?
Stewardship
Sun, Nov 29, 2009
My three year old daughter feels the need to constantly remind me about her needs as if she's worried that I won't provide for her. Shouting "Daddy, I need milk!" as I am pouring her a glass. Asking me for the third time, "Daddy, help me with my shoes," even though I'm in the process of bending over to help her. Am I doing the same thing to God when I worry about what I will "eat or drink"?
How Was Your Summer?
Fri, Oct 30, 2009
This summer, I caught a glimpse of what the love of God looks like. I've heard it hundreds of times from the love chapter. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs..." (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). At camp, we were encouraged to love the campers "where they're at."
