Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
it is in sharing with each other that we set free ourselves. however, jesus also warns us not to cast our pearls before swine so we must be vigilant not to share our pearls with those who will not appreciate or understand what a rare gift we are giving to them.
with that in mind...we are trying something new-ish.
a night dedicated to heart stories
we have always been an open community sharing opinions and points of view with each other.
however, these sharing times have always been built around a certain topic
tomorrow is going to be different because we ARE the topic.
an evening dedicating to sharing, offering testimonies, of where we have seen God at work in our own lives. an evening dedicating to sharing our own experiences in order to bless others. a spiritual open mic night so to speak.
7-8.15
coffee and snacks will be there, the introduction of our new devotional and some beautiful music. hope you can join us.
we offer this video to you. although it is part of another church's stewardship campaign we think it offers some powerful reminders of what this thing called faith is supposed to be all about.
