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.

In Scripture, it does not take long to see that God's sovereignty is always preferable to humanity's best understanding.

We could not have picked a better weekend. At an unseasonably warm 70 degrees, this Halloween weekend felt like summer, though without the summer crowds that are typical at the YMCA of the Rockies.

"The first area of change was in our name. After a lengthy process of considering a name change, the name, Greater Grace, was offered at a business meeting and it seemed appropriate because we are a church that focuses on, and trusts in, God's Grace."

By serving we have gained a reputation as a church that cares and makes a difference in young people’s lives. We look for opportunities to come along side others and be a part of the community.

The community was changing. Everything from storefront windows, to smells of Chinese food in the air; this part of Brooklyn went through a drastic change. What do you do? A church that had thrived in its ministry to Norwegian immigrants was now desperate for a new vision.

Our youth were serving in local mission with another youth group from a sister congregation in South Dakota, and together with the Evangelism and Service boards of Ebenezer, we planned and threw a party last August that our neighbors still talk about to this day.
