Knowing our own sinfulness and the devil’s schemes, we gather together as believers in God to encourage each other in Christ and His Word.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for churches you know looking for a Pastor

As discussed before, we have sent one of our elders to pastor a small local church looking for a full-time pastor. I know of four churches whose pastors will be leaving soon, and, just in our town, six churches looking for a youth pastor or other leader. (Fortunately, we are a close-knit community of youth leaders. E help each other out.)

We need more men to step up to lead, getting educated and pastoring local flocks.
