During one of my quiet times with God this week I was brought to the verse in Luke 22:25-27. Jesus is talking with his disciples at the last supper and they began disputing over who was considered the greatest among them. Here's how Jesus responded; "25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
As we "Join the Pursuit" beginning this Saturday and Sunday at the Gus Macker, ask yourself, "how can I serve my church, my family and my neighbors this week? Am I looking for leadership in what I do or am I seeking to serve? I want to make it a goal in my life that daily I remember to ask "How can I serve the Lord and how can I serve others?
During the construction this summer on Staffon St., watch for the signs for the best roads to get to the church!
Men's Group meets every Tuesday evening beginning at 7 pm at the church. All men are invited for a time of fellowship and growing together in the Lord.
This summer at Prayer and Praise we are
"Joining the Pursuit" in our church and in our community. Throughout the summer months we will be coming together to go out into our community to show and demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ. There will be opportunities for all ages, so get your sneakers on and come with us and "Join the Pursuit."
Join us on Sunday, June 26th for the Pursuit!
Remember to bring your cards for Jacob's Well. Jacob is the grandson of Ron and Myrna Weaver. He is 9 years old and is battling cancer of the spine and going through chemo. Our goal is to give him 40 cards and letters each month. Have your children draw him pictures or send small gifts, or God may give you something to do special for him that will bring a smile to his face and know that we are praying for him. This will be ongoing until Jacob is feeling better. Make it a goal each month or week.
