Thanks to Cheryl for the amazing Cherry Pie!!
Homework for August: List to the June 6 message "The Spreading Flame: Which Yoke?"
We discussed the following ministries in the church that have most affected our Christian growth:
-Teaching - We are thankful for the time and effort our pastors put into their sermons, addressing important matters of life and heart issues, showing their love and care for us. The teaching is life-giving and refreshing.
-Personal Discipleship - There is a high priority on relationships, being hospitable and friendly, which provides a feast of godly instruction especially for new believers. These relationships also provide accountability, comfort, encouragement, and a foundation for how to live out a godly life.
-Transform and Youth Camp - Seeing God at work was amazing at YC this year. The atmosphere was so healthy and challenging. The teens and counselors were all encouraged and blessed by the whole experience. It was evident that "God showed up."
-New Members' Class - This step in becoming a member of the church was such a blessing to us. It is essential to have a forum to discuss doctrine, ask questions without fear, and be clear about what the main teachings of the Bible are.
-Exploring Christianity Class, Women's Discipleship Meetings, Care Groups - We are so thankful for all these ministries in the church. God's sovereignty is awesome as He works out His will in our lives using every situation and tool for His glory and our good. We are equally thankful to be a part of a church that seeks humility, being willing to change course when necessary.

How encouraging to hear you all recognize and acknowledge God's goodness to you through the local church. What an example of the effect a body has when it is properly fitted together and each member humbly provides it's portion. To the praise of HIs glorious grace!
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's so encouraging to hear reports of God's work in a properly functioning body. I'm also reminded to be thankful for how He worked in our past, even though it wasn't in such a "properly functioning" assembly, He always is working something good for His glory!
