Hey Team:
Hope you are all well.
We are continuing our study of the "PAPA Prayer" by Dr. Larry Crabb. In thinking about the first "P" -- "Present yourself to God," I am reminded of the paraphrase of Matthew 6:6-8 in The Message, "Find a quiet, secluded place . . . just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense His grace."
Here's something to think about: Try spending time in prayer without asking God for anything -- just be there and see what happens.
Children's Musical
Thanks to EVERYBODY who helped make our children's musical a wonderful success! Is there anything we do as a church that is more important than investing in the spiritual lives of our children? Thanks to the choir leaders, creative movement leaders, snack people, behavior modifiers, and all the parents, grandparents and friends who care enough about these children to involve them in these activities. Well done!
Nursery -- Mother's Day
Not unlike King David, we too have a group of "mighty men" who are ready to work in the nursery this Sunday during the morning worship service, so no mothers have to. As I told them, this task has "playground" and "refreshments" written all over it. So, thanks to Mike Stewart, Kahle Morris, Mark Gary, Mike Taylor, Max Sturdivant, and Mike Beck for joining me. Pack a poncho and a change of clothes for the kids -- it's going to be fun!
See you soon.
Press on....
