Another Prime Anniversary (17)

17 years ago this day, God blessed me with an amazing helper and friend, my wife Caitlin.

She has been with me through years of want and years of plenty.

We have encouraged each other through college degrees, and she made it possible to finally finish my M.Div. after two attempts and two schools.

We have been members (or “members”) of six churches, four of which I have been in leadership roles of some capacity. She has helped me grow in Christ and as a leader, especially as a pastor. This has helped me step into a new pastoral role, and she is an amazing pastor’s wife.

I know she has grown in Christ, for I have seen it, yet I pray she continues to grow deeper in her love and commitment to Christ and in drawing others nearer to Him.

She’s also beautiful and has become quite the amazing cook!

To quote The Beatles, “and I love her.”

Thank You, Lord, for this blessing. May we be a picture of Christ and His Church.

I love you, Caitlin!

Signed,

Daniel

This Sunday: Enjoy Communion at Church Today

Our congregation currently has communion on second Sundays each month (though I would like to begin moving toward more often), so I will wait a week on following this advice.

Also, it is good advice, for we remember that this ordinance is a connection to our Lord and Savior who has called us to fellowship with Himself.

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: This Sunday: Enjoy Communion at Church Today.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for your church for another elder

I know this is a persistent issue at my old congregation and now, and not just a need for elders but to help new elders to be faithfully, consistently growing in truth, leadership, and humble service.

(Including those of us currently serving in this capacity.)
