Generosity of the Deltas, Elder-led Prayer, Pray for Haiti Mission Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/13)

We had Deltas in the house! The Western Wake Alumnae Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority joined us at church today.  The sorority is celebrating 100 years.  Today, they donated money to our mission trip to Haiti.  Many thanks to the Deltas for their generosity.

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan is Job 35-37

Last week, we started a new Bible Study series on Wednesday looking at "Disciples Making Disciples". There's a great lack of true disciple making in the church today.  Everyone is invited to join us and bring a friend.

For the past year or so, leadership has been gathering once a month to pray for this church, our communities, and the nations. Now, we're going to open this prayer meeting to the rest of the church.  Every 4th Tuesday of the month, we will have an elder-led prayer meeting from 6 to 7pm.  Our first one will be 1/22.  Join us for 1 hour of prayer.

Our Haiti Missionary Team is going to Haiti this week. We have a team of 6 (3 members and 3 non-members).  Please pray for them that the trip to Haiti would be fruitful and would glorify God.

Our teens are resuming their youth services on the second and fourth Sundays. The teens really enjoyed the youth service! Junior Deacon Derrick Wiggins was the speaker and did an awesome job delivering the message that God gave him.  Please continue supporting our youth ministry and encourage the teens to bring a friend to the youth services.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
