Safety Meeting, this MONDAY, 3:30 @ the church
Thanks to all who came up to our church's annual Green's Peak Camp. There must have been 50 or so of us present, and the Mascolos even came from NM. Yes, it lightly rained on us off and on, but the air temperature was good, the food excellent, and the fellowship, a blessing. Oh, and the trees are glorious!
We want to get to know you. Please fill out a visitor card from Lora Slater, and we'll make you a name tag.
Yes, we have a building fund. You can give to it by designating your gift to the "building fund." We've been paying for the current construction out of this fund. Heavy expenses are coming as we begin construction of the addition. Your prayers, and your gifts are much appreciated. Thanks.
The Bourdon Ranch Rd. Shepherding group has moved to the Salvation Army office in Wagon Wheel Plaza. Lee Copeland is leading it, and he invites those of you in that area to attend. Our other Shepherding Groups are meeting as usual in place. There's been some talk about starting a new group in Overgaard. If you're interested, please contact Pastors Tom or Jim.
Be praying for the November elections that God’s will and presence will be known.
Driving on today's crowded highways continues to be a challenge, and most challenging is keeping one's cool when someone cuts you off. The human response is immediate anger, but how does that work for a Christian?
Let's be gracious for a moment, and let's assume that the offending person had something on their mind, or they were distracted, or maybe they just didn't see you, which is becoming more common as drivers age.
Is there room for grace and mercy on the highway? Yes, of course. Can we say the same for Christ's church?
Everybody is driving their own car, and equally so, their own life. Things happen; things get off-track, and we often respond out of anger, rather than compassion. The Bible says, "Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger" (Ephes.4.26).
A long time ago, the Disney Studios produced a cartoon featuring Goofy, who was depicted as "Mr. Wheeler." In normal life, he was kind, considerate, and charitable to all, but when he got behind the wheel, he became a monster. Mr. Wheeler is too often us.
How are you handling the highway, or, more importantly, how are you handling conflict in your church?
One of our members has noted that rather than curse those who cut him off on the highway, he's now blessing them, realizing that each person is struggling with life. They all need Jesus, and Jesus is our Savior and our example.
"Be kind to one another tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you" (Ephes.4.32).
