Hurricane Irene has been the most talked about thing in the news recently. I don't minimize the serious of a hurricane and the need to be prepared but it seemed like many people were fearing the wrong thing. In Mark 4 , a storm came upon the disciples while they and Jesus were on a boat. These experienced fishermen were fearful of this storm. They awoke Jesus who was sleeping in the boat. Jesus calmly spoke to the storm and it ceased! These same men who feared the storm, now feared Jesus! Let us not fear hurricanes and earthquakes but fear the One who controls them. Let us never forget that God is in control!

Today at 2pm, we go to Claire Bridge and next Sunday, Chatham Commons. We want to thank the Fine Arts Ministry (FAM) for leading in praise and worship for this Sunday and last while our Minister of Music is taking a vacation. It's great to see artistic expressions used to point us to God and His goodness. I do encourage all of our members to step out in faith and say "yes" to all that God is calling you to do. There is more that God is requiring of us. There is more work and mission for us to be accomplishing. God has redeemed and justified us so that we are now free to live fully for Him. There is so much more that we can accomplish for God's glory and I pray that we are moved into action when we reflect upon God's grace in our lives.
