Prayer for the Day: "Your Servant is Listening"

2007-11-15T09:41:00.000-05:00

Jesus, thank you for all the ways you have known me, shaped me, and formed me for your purpose. Help me to grow in faithfulness, in clarity of thought and purpose as I learn how to discern your voice calling out to me.

Open my heart to hear you. Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.

I pray for the people of the world who long for Your holy encounter. Show me the way in which I am called as an individual to respond to the many needs of your people.

Open my heart to hear you. Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.

I pray for the nations of the world: for your wisdom to help to solve the problems that are too big and too complex for us, for help in bringing peace where there is no peace, justice where there is no justice, freedom where there is no freedom, and pray that you help us to have a right understanding of what freedom truly is.

Open my heart to hear you. Speak Lord, for your servant is listening. Amen.

LIFE GROUPS!

2007-07-17T08:40:00.000-04:00

On Sunday morning, those in attendance were introduced to a new ministry called LIFE GROUPS. Christ Church Life Groups will be the foundation of our Small Group Ministry. In fact, we are hoping that everyone in the church will sign up to be a part of one of these groups. Each Life Group will consist of 7 to 12 persons who will meet regularly for fellowship, sharing, scripture reading, accountability and support. The goal is to find a place for people to become connected to one another and the church and to receive encouragement in their spiritual journey.

For more information or to sign up for a Life Group, please click here to visit the LIFE GROUP page on the church website.

United Methodist News

2007-06-14T09:24:00.001-04:00

From Sunday's Journal and Courier:

United Methodists in Indiana are one step closer to joining together. Currently there are two conferences in the state, the Northern Indiana Conference and the Southern Indiana Conference.

The North Indiana Conference met at Purdue earlier this month to vote whether to re-organize.
Friday, the South conference voted at Indiana University. The majority approved the recommendation.

United Methodist Bishop Michael Coyner will appoint a team to plan how to merge. Unity discussions have stretched over the past decade.

If the implementation plan is approved next year, the North Central Jurisdictional Conference of the UMC also would need to approve the uniting of the two conferences. With full approval, the earliest the new conference could meet would be 2009.

This Sunday's Scripture

2007-06-13T15:43:00.000-04:00

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20
