Weekly Memory Verse
Thy word is lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105, NIV
A NOTE FROM THE MINISTER...
You might be interested to know that: “Only 41% of Americans attend church services on a typical weekend. Each new generation becomes increasingly unchurched. Slightly over one half (51%) of the builder generation (born before 1946) attends church in a typical weekend. But only 41% of the boomers (born 1946-1964) and 34% of the busters (born 1965-1976) attend church on the weekend. The younger generation, the bridgers (born 1977-1994), indicates that only 30% attend church. (Surprising Insights from the Unchurched p. 33).
A German soldier was wounded. He was ordered to go to the military hospital for treatment.When he arrived at the large and imposing building, he saw two doors, one marked, "For the slightly wounded," and the other, "For the seriously wounded."
He entered through the first door and found himself going down a long hall. At the end of it were two more doors, one marked, "For officer" and the other, "For non-officers." He entered through the latter and found himself going down another long hall. At the end of it were two more doors, one marked, "For party members" and the other, "For non-party members."
He took the second door, and when he opened it he found himself out on the street. When the soldier returned home, his mother asked him, "How did you get along at the hospital?" "Well, Mother," he replied, "to tell the truth, the people there didn’t do anything for me, but you ought to see the tremendous organization they have!” The soldier’s comment describes many churches in our day: really organized, but accomplishing little. What ministries are we propagating within our community? In the way of ministry what are we accomplishing? What are we doing to build relationships? The unchurched are concerned with what we are doing in the name of Jesus.
Grace and Peace,
Tim
