Take It With You 10.23.2022
Music has always had a major impact on me, allowing me to hear words in a different way, say them in a way that reaches a part of my mind and my soul in a way that reading or hearing them doesn’t always accomplish. One of my all-time favorite worship songs is “Blessed be Your […]
A Pastor’s Perspective 10-18-2022
Lighting Up Heaven was Blake Benge’s message to us Sunday morning. God rejoices and angels sing when one who was lost “comes to one’s senses” and realizes their need.

Spiders Web. Platform Balance. Thread the Snake. These are just a few of the team-building exercises we enjoyed at Camp Rockfish this past Thursday. The tests required us to use our minds and brawn to “win” each challenge. As a team, we survived and triumphed! You would have been proud. Before heading out to the […]

We spend a lot of time in church sharing prayer requests. Part of every Sunday school class I can ever remember was a time for classmates to share prayer requests and prayers. We spend time sharing with each other the concerns of our lives: health problems, family concerns, work issues, and the all-encompassing unspoken request. […]
