Following last week’s Family Gathering, I wanted to take this space to highlight a few areas where participation from the church is desired in the days ahead.

I know I've talked about this a good bit already, so forgive me if this is overkill! But I again wanted to mention the lecture Friday evening. There are a few reasons you might want to join us. First, we'll have dessert - that's a no-brainer. Second, it's an opportunity to connect with some folks from the denomination and Tabor specifically.
Keep ReadingElder Update from November
The elders met for our monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 18. Uncharacteristically (and thankfully), this month did not have a lengthy administrative agenda enabling us to spend more time on other things. We continued in our discussion of readings from The Multigenerational Church Crisis by Bryan Chapell.

A study of Romans 7-8, I believe, leads to the inevitable conclusion that unless we have the Spirit of God, we will not be able to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel and pleasing to the Lord. In other words, we need God's Spirit to follow God's ways. A study of Ephesians 5 will lead to the same conclusion.

This ought to be our response should anyone ask how we account for growth in our midst. A simple shrug. Who knows? We put some gospel seed down. We watered it with the word. Then God did the work according to His will.
Keep ReadingElder Update from October
The elder retreat was held last Saturday. Mission Southside graciously allowed us to use their facilities for our all-day retreat (as they have in recent years). We appreciate their generosity.

I regret I wasn’t able to be present last Sunday – just any Sunday I am gone, but especially following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Like many of you I continue to pray for our leaders; so I pray for him, I pray for our current president, and I pray for peaceful times.

First, to whomever anonymously left me the lawn chair in the office – thank you! Gave me a great laugh, and a nice new lawn chair! Second, at last week’s prayer service we sang together and focused on the names and titles of Jesus given to us in Scripture. I was greatly encouraged by it, and wanted to pass along a few to you.

Summer schedules are always a bit wonky. People go on vacation, people move, people visit. And, the normal course of ministries is generally altered or halted, so we lose some normal rhythms. In the midst of that, we often have summer events and take on planning meetings for the year ahead. Because of all this, it is easy for communication to be missed.
