-Announcement-

If at all possible, I would like to get some folks together immediately after services, Wednesday night, to pray for the benevolence efforts. I will be on-call, without back-up, so I might not be able to be there. My intent is to keep it short, so as not to be a problem for those who need to get the kids to bed.

We must keep praying with confidence that God will truly work through us. It is not that we have any profound ideas or plans, but that God will bless His people. Consider these words of Moses found in Psalm 90 (The Message):

Let your servants see what you are best at-
the ways you rule and bless your children.
And let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us,
confirming the work that we do.
Oh, yes. Affirm the work that we do!

We also need to come up with some name for this effort that does not include the word, benevolence.

How about "Hakuna Matata"?

Just kidding. ;)

I'm usually pretty good at coming up with titles, so I am working on something tasteful---not that my choice needs to be the one chosen. ;)

Ok, I have one already. How about "His Hands"???

Maybe a name is bad idea in that it would differentiate a group within the larger family. As the verses quoted above indicate, this work is for us all.

I'm with you Jason -- Maybe it doesn't need a name. But if it does -- how about Manna. After all it describes all of us who would be working with it. The definition for Manna is -- "what is it?" Fits us pretty well don't you think?

I'll be praying about all of this as well.
Have a great day!
Peace Out!

Gabe -- I appreciate the hope you give me, but I'm pretty sure it's not gonna happen.

BTW -- It must have been pretty scary for you to find that we were both thinking the same thing.

Tell Matt and Mike I said "Hey" if you see them today.
