[NEWS] Prayer and Sign Ups
24 And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works, 25 not abandoning our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the day drawing near.
- Hebrews 10:24
Taking thought on how to spur this community on to love and the good work that God puts in front of us is both one of the beautiful blessings and also the greatest challenges of church leadership. We want to push people to use their gifts, to live their faith bold and loud, but sometimes we overstep the important still, quiet moments of growth. We see the idea of good deeds through love, but forget about other aspects of care. More recently, I have seen the need for simple connections, "not giving up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing," come up much more often.
I cannot emphasize the impact that an email, a text, or a phone call can have. Sometimes you catch someone in a moment where they need prayer, encouragement, or just an ear to listen. It is amazing how initiating a connection if you are in need or thinking about someone can open up a dialogue and a time to pray.
We are very clear in our vision at church. We want to daily inspire people to live like Jesus by loving God, loving others and loving self. What we may need to nudge people more in, is taking the time to be loved. If you have something you want covered in prayer, or if you would like someone to talk to about the big life moments to what seems like a million little things happening, we have an incredible church leadership (staff, elders, leaders and prayer shepherds) that would love to talk. Like it says in Hebrews 10:24, it can become our habit to not meet or be encouraged, but we should do even more so because of our understanding of the urgency of the gospel (as we see the day drawing near!).
Please send us an email and let us know how we can be praying for you.
Thankful for this church community,
Tim
