Thoughts to Ponder

We live in a world filled with so much stuff and junk that we can barely see over all the piles of it. So God, what if in our world of junk we have lowered you to our level? What if we have made piles of Jesus Junk, heaped it at your altar and then had the nerve to call it worship? God, help us rekindle the fire of your passion. Help us remember that we are to worship you with awe, for you are an awesome God, worthy of our praise and worship. Amen.

Thoughts to Ponder

Just allow people to see Jesus in you—to see how you pray, to see how you lead a pure life, to see how you deal with your family, to see how much peace there is in your family. Then you can look straight into their eyes and say, “This is the way.” You speak from life, you speak from experience.   From “Words to Love By” by Mother Teresa.

Backpacks and school supplies are being requested by those involved in the flooding in Minot, ND and other areas in the Dakotas. The list of items needed is on the entryway table. Please bring your donations to the church by August 14^th. Arrangements will then be made to get them to the Conference office in Mitchell or to one of the District Superintendents.
