If you happened to be in the first service, let me add an insight from Fred, one of our regular attenders. After going through the random list of David’s stress-producers (fear, verbal opposition, physical weakness, etc.), Fred made the great point that any one of these things is tough enough, but it multiplies the stress when you’re dealing with them all at once. Can you relate? Yet “To added affliction he adds his mercies, to multiplied sorrows, His multiplied peace.”
Somebody came up after the second service and said, “I asked the Lord to speak to me during worship today, and this was exactly what I needed.” “And that,” I replied, “was exactly what I needed.”
Our KidsPoint ministry just had their “Roundup Sunday” and it was a great success. Thanks, Moms and Dads, for checking out what’s happening.
Did you see the army of students in the second service? What a group! You guys are awesome.
Praise the Lord for the student who was baptized yesterday, and for his best friend who actually did the baptizing! Who do you know who needs to know Jesus? How can you pray for them, reach out to them invite them.
Last night we had a wonderful level of participation in the “What’s the Point” class. About sixteen people attended. We’ll be introducing new members in a couple of weeks.
Friday is going to be a BIG night! We still need volunteers to help kids both in the church and in the neighborhood have a great time. Call Steve! He needs your help.
I am adding a few additional ideas/insights about managing stress on the LifeVesting site. Click here to see some thoughts about burnout and building margin into your life.
