Prayer Gatherings

I am thankful for those of you who participate in our district prayer gatherings.  I think it is a valuable time, as we spend time praying for our district as well as for each other.  We have had some special times this spring in our meetings.  Please continue to pray for our churches as we attempt to be effective in making disciples. Remember,  In order to do this, we must be intentional.  What is your plan?

 

I am really looking forward to our Preaching Workshop with Dr. Dan Boone.  Here is a quote from his book, Preaching the Story that Shapes us.  “As preachers, our first act of preaching is to listen with deep confidence for the breath of God moving in and through the texts that we are given to preach from.  Our task is not information but revelation.  And the only hope we have is the ever-present Spirit of God speaking.”  Pg 44

To all of our pastors/staff/and preaching students.  I hope you make every effort to attend.
