Posted Wednesday, February 29 2012 @ 10 AM byBev Campisi Tagged No tags 0 comments Add comment

Our three Sanctuaries are such special places for us to come each week and to offer our worship to God. I was speaking to a visitor recently about the crosses up above the altar area now, and how during Advent, our lit trees are there. We have a wonderfully vital ministry team who works behind the scenes to help enhance our worship experience as our Holy seasons change throughout the year. They have given thought and time to planning how the decor will change, and then helpers assist in... More

If you were here 3 Lenten seasons ago, you remember we found hundreds and hundreds of ways to get involved helping our neighbors, after having studied the life-changing book The Hole in Our Gospel . One of my nearest and dearest stories is still the relationships we've made with a neighbor who lives "next door" in the Grapevine Housing Authority. Disabled and only in her 50's, her request was to receive help with her laundry. Yes, there is a laundry facility at the top of the hill, but her... More

When I heard again in the Council on Ministries meeting that there are people wanting to get to church but who cannot because they still don't have a way to get here, it hit me. We feed so many of His sheep, don't we, through Weekend Food, Be Our Guest, Never Go Hungry Casseroles, in Kenya and in Costa Rica? Yet what are we doing to feed His sheep in Grapevine on Sunday mornings who want to come to church to receive the Living Water, the Bread of Life but don't have transportation to do so? It... More

Quit lurking and BECOME a shadow! Here's why and here's how! We have several ministries which could be more effective if a few more team members were added to their lists. Perhaps you have time and desire to serve somewhere, but you just are not certain something would be right for you. What if you were to shadow a person already involved in that ministry team's work and see for yourself what all is involved? Here are some random examples: Any Monday afternoon shadow someone at Project Fun! You... More

WedWednesdayFebFebruary1st2012 Connecting Goals, Resolutions, Resolve, Nonsense and Joy!

Goals, Resolutions, Resolve, Nonsense and Joy! That is the course my mind and heart took as I thought about a devotional I was to share in staff meeting this week. I was thinking of goals we are challenged to express and work toward... thinking of New Years Resolutions we make and hope to keep... thinking of Jesus and the resolve he must have had his entire life and years of ministry. Then I found a small book in our church library entitled Happiness is Sharing . It is on a shelf marked Prayers... More
