We will be meeting in the sanctuary to hear Sara McElroy speak to us on prayer and hear testimonies of how God has answered prayer as only He can do. We will also be making blankets for Life Choice Ministries. Come prepared to be inspired and equipped in your prayer life! When the church fails to break the cultural barrier, both sides lose. Those who need the gospel message of hope and the reality of love, don’t get it, and the isolated church keeps evangelizing the same people over and over until its only mission finally is to entertain itself.

It was dusty, dirty, and in a beat-up frame. He sold it at a yard sale for two bucks – and good riddance. Lo and behold, it was a masterpiece and the purchaser resold it for several million dollars! There is a similar story about an old violin that was sold for a few dollars and turned out to be a Stradivarius worth millions. I wonder how many of God’s blessings to us we miss because they are not “packaged” just as we expect or desire. Maybe, if we set some of our biases aside, we might find that God is speaking and revealing himself to us more than we ever imagined. We pray for blessings, but perhaps, we miss them when God answers in ways contrary to our expectations.
