Women's Fellowship, Faithful Giving (Pastoral Emmphasis from 8/24)

We are continuing on our Psalms 119 176-day challenge: Sunday's verse was 126.

Thanks to all the women and young ladies who participated in the Women’s Ministry Knee-to-Knee fellowship on last Friday. I hope that the testimonies and experience that were shared by some of the women will help our young ladies to avoid and overcome certain situations in life. Hearing about some of what was shared at the fellowship reminded me of our discussion of Joseph from Wednesday's Bible Study. Joseph said in Genesis 50:20 (NLT): "You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people." Even though some of the women in our ministry have been through some terrible situations, God intended it for good so that these women could be in a position today to help save the lives of other women and young ladies who may be facing similar situations.

The next Discipleship Training will start on Sept. 7th. The training will last for four weeks. We will be studying the book, The Disciplemakers' Handbook, by Alice Fryling. Please sign up by this Wednesday, Aug. 27th at the Welcome Center. This will be the same training that took place at the beginning of this year for those that missed it.

I want to encourage everyone to continue to give faithfully to God. I definitely know how the increase in gas prices can affect families, but try to be consistent in your giving. During economic hardships, God wants us to be good stewards over our finances. If you have to decide on cutting something than cut out some non-essential stuff (like cable, cell phones, movies, etc), but never short change God!
