Things I didn't see coming

Serious conversation about Big Foot as the proof that spiritual things are real. The teaching that the ark has thousands of people on it to account for all the races of people. Taking second place to Joel Olsreen on Sunday mornings. 

None of these things are all that big of a surprise in the big picture. But together they make for a picture of a church in very poor health. We are on a project that will take almost more un-learning than learning to get back to a sold Biblical foundation.

Please pray for three things that are coming up here soon. 

The review of the constitution. The document we have right now has prevented At least five potential members from joining due to poor wording.  In addition it needs to reflect the current social and legal issues to help us grow. But it is change and change is hard.

Pray for the small group that is going with me to a church revitalization conference next week. Pray for them to catch a vision for what could be.

Pray for the "revival" meetings the end of the month. To help encourage the church to a spirit do reconciliation and grace.

Thanks for your prayers.
