In I Timothy 2:8-10, the Apostle Paul shows us that there is something for everyone in the church of Christ.
I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
On Monday January 28 at 6:30 p.m., the women of our church family are going to meet for a time of fellowship and devotion. They will share a meal, study God’s word together, and pray earnestly. They will grow closer to God and closer to each other. They will be strengthened to live lives that are respectful and pure, to grow in the “beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit”, and to do good and “not fear anything that is frightening” (I Peter 3:1-6). See Lorna Thompson if you would like to learn more before joining this special time of Ladies Fellowship.
On Saturday February 2 at 8 a.m., the men of our church family are going to meet for our first Men’s Prayer Breakfast. We are going to pray specifically for the spouses, children, family members, and friends in our lives that are harassed, helpless, and in “a far country” away from their loving Father (Matthew 9:36-38, Luke 15:11-32). May God give us boldness to proclaim His word and open our loved ones’ hearts to pay attention (Acts 4:29, 16:14)!
Please sign up today if you know you are going to attend the Men’s Prayer Breakfast to help us plan. If you have someone for whom you would like our men to pray, write down the details on one of our prayer cards and give it to Tony Jordan, Dan Hager, or Debbie Justice.
