Bless William on His Birthday

William's birthday is Saturday, November 16. Please bless him by sending a birthday card with a word of encouragement. Continue to pray for the Zodhiates. The civil trial in Vermont continues to progress and begins December 2. If you forgot to send a note to Philip last week, please consider taking the time to write one this week. He has not been receiving many cards or letters recently. If you don't know what to write, he enjoys receiving updates on your families and what you have been doing and learning.

CONNECT with Others Authentically - James 4:11-12

To truly CONNECT, a disciple of Jesus must live out an authenticity that is counter-cultural.

Happening, next weekend, March 7 and 8. https://www.faithandreasonapologetics.com/mary-jo-sharp/ In over 30 years of ministry, there is one aspect of church life that young people have shared with me that has caused them to leave a church. It has also been a primary purpose for them, leaving the Christian faith in general. And here it is, The unhealthy, emotional, and spiritual immaturity of life-long church attenders and believers. These have been people whom they wanted to trust and look up to, but who have lived with an offense, trivial criticalness, judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, inability to relate to current culture, church hurt, etc. These have been some of the most significant factors influencing young people to walk away from the chur...
