During the COVID-19 pandemic, there is so much uncertainty in the world. As Christians, we turn to God in times of fear and uncertainty as we do in times of joy and celebration. We pray for God’s heart of love, mercy, and truth to dwell in us and show us how to face the challenges posed by our lives. Your elders want to ensure that they are made aware of your prayer requests so that they may lift those requests up to God on your behalf.  Please submit your requests to us via the following link.

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?” Matthew‬ ‭6:25‬ Where do you go to find answers when challenged with a difficult, anxiety-filled situation?  When feelings of danger, vulnerability and distress threaten to upset your ordered, predictable daily life, and you are unsure that you are equipped to deal with the potential dangers?  Many people around the state, country and world are struggling with these very questions during this viral contagion that threatens the physical well-being of people around the world and in our own neighborhoods. We have access to so much information in our technologically rich society that many suffer from information overload,…

Lift the Ceiling!

Lift the Ceiling!

Church
On Wednesday’s (2/26) Wheel of Fortune episode, venerated host Pat Sajak made an unacceptable blunder — especially in the age of Twitter! As he was celebrating a contestant’s $10,000+ winnings, he lifted his palms over his head and exclaimed, “Lift the ceiling!” This wouldn’t be so bad…if it weren’t for the fact that the idiom is “Raise the roof!” Needless to say, Sajak was the victim of several posts and memes poking fun at his mistake. Have you ever said something incorrectly? I mean, trying to say the right thing and it just comes out all wrong? I know I have — countless times! Wanting to express appreciation for someone’s effort, my comment comes out as “Well, at least you tried.” Or, trying to let a friend know I’ve seen them weather a challenge…

“Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”  Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:4-9‬ ‭ What is your favorite brand?  In America, it seems we are fascinated by and drawn to this idea of branding. From clothing lines, to…
