Special Moments

Thoughts put into action can be wonderful. One idea and a little planning touched many lives.

The cookie bake last month brought girls and women together in a fun, mentoring atmosphere. Sheets of delectable treats were lovingly baked then arranged on gift plates. The young ladies brought these delicacies to some of our shut-in saints.

Unless you've been confined by age, illness or caring for infirmed loved ones, it's hard to imagine how much joy a visitor can bring. And when they arrive with home-made treats, that's even more special. Vernon was one recipient of this kindness. He said, "Thank you for the nice plate of cookies. God bless you for caring. You made me feel really special."

Many lives were touched by an event that flowed from one idea. Don't let your thoughts evaporate into nothingness, give them wings and create your own special moments.

What Happens in Denver

Pastor Raley believes churches should always be developing people and their talents. So, we began by taking some that feel a call to write for the Kingdom to the Christian Writers Guild conference in Denver.

We, (Steve, Cindy, Maryann and Pastor Raley) experienced a weekend packed with writer education classes, seminars and workshops. It also gave us the opportunity to interact with editors, mentors and other writers; and to have greater fellowship with each other.

We had the privilege of hearing Phil Vischer, creator of Veggie Tales, tell of the rise and fall of his ministry. A powerful testimony that showed us how God is the One in charge of our calling, and if we are to use our talents for Him, we must acknowledge our complete dependence on Him and His leading.

Statement of Faith

Pastor Raley will survey the new EFCA doctrinal statement in his sermons for the next several weeks. The following shows the new statements (proposed) in comparison to the current statements.

Proposed:

1. We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.
