Men Pray Together…

The Thursday Men’s Prayer Group went well tonight.

This is church.

It was good to hear how God was working in our different lives.

This is church.

We talked about things like changes in business and working, being productive, overcoming loneliness, stress, family members, growing close to God, being close to family, managing schedules, serving God, being healthy emotionally and spiritually and physically.

This is church.

We discussed helpful ideas.

This is church.

We shared good advice.

And we prayed.

How? How Do I Thrive?

My buddy and I have this ritual. I often ask him if he’d like to go for coffee. He always replies, “I don’t drink coffee.” Then I always say, “It’s not about the coffee!”

Then we go for coffee.

One of the problems of being #SafeAtHome is the disconnectedness we feel. It’s hard not to be together with friends, eating pizza, fishing, exercising, shopping…. We’ve probably all become aware that it isn’t the pizza or the fishing or the working out or the shopping that was important. It was the friendship. It was being together.

It’s not about the coffee.

The challenge we all face these days is knowing HOW to connect. How can we do that?

That’s what this video addresses.

Can you think of ways to get together with your brothers and sisters in Christ and “spur them on” while remaiing #SafeAtHome?

Sure you can! So get to it!!! 🙂

Church Family Pictures…

Don’t you miss seeing your church family?

Laurel, who is not on social media, suggested a way we could see one another this Easter Sunday.

We posted an announcement asking people to share Easter pictures on Facebook. Then, as they posted those pictures, we shared them on our Church Facebook Page.

You can see them — even if you don’t have a Facebook account. Just click here:

If you have a picture that you would like me to post on our Facebook page, you’re welcome to text or email it to me and I will put it on the church Facebook page so that people will receive your Easter greeting.

May you have a blessed remainder of your Easter Sunday.
-Pastor Steve

Passion, you say?

This is Passion Week – or Holy Week – the week we remember Jesus’ Passion.

These days, when I think of passion, I think of how hard my fellow church leaders are working to do their ministry. Today, Laurel was helping me make this video and I said,”And just like that, every pastor’s wife became a video producer.”

Why?

Why are all these pastors doing this?

Why are all the churches streaming?

This video speaks to that question.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that this push – this passion for the gospel – is not new for most of my peers. The circumstances simply make it more evident.

Got passion? Let it show!
