Updates and Thoughts

In my last post, I discussed the lack of children in our church.  Since then, a small group of women including myself, have been meeting every Monday morning to pray.  We pray for our church members, each other, our families, our Church leadership, and our nation.  I know God hears our prayers.  A few of us went door to door last July, inviting children to a 5-Day Bible Club.  We had about 25 children in club, and one or two of those families have united with our church.  Next week we will begin offering a Sunday evening study on Missions for the little ones.  We pray the God will grant fruit.

On a lighter note... Last week, our Pastor passed out a pamphlet/ book to the church body entitled, I Am A Church Member, Discovering Attitudes That Make A Difference, by Thom Ranier.  I'm waiting for my Dad to finish his copy so I can read it.  Everyone seems to have really good things to say about it and I'm sure I will too.  However, I'm not sure how I feel about the implications of this little gift.  What would you think if your spouse gave you a book called, How To Be A Good Wife on your 20th anniversary? You might be tempted to return the favor by buying Him the companion book, How To Be A Good Husband. (Ha ha)  After I read the book, I'll share my thoughts about it.
