As we walk these days of our lives where light and dark and grief and gratitude consistently mingle, may we seek to find intentional spaces to be still and know that we are loved, and that God is God – faithful and good. Let us grow in learning together as a family eager to embody love so that the world will know who’s we are. As we trust our lives to Christ, may this prayer below give us all words on our journey of sharing real Hope to a world in desperate need of the One who is Hope.
 

My God, we trust you. Please don’t let us be put to shame!

Make your ways known,

Lord; teach us your paths.

Lead us in your truth – teach it to us – because your are the God who saves us.

We put our hope in your all day long.

Lord, remember your compassion and faithful love (hesed) – they are forever!

Psalm 25:1-6 (paraphrased in the plural)

https://intervarsity.org/church-resources-webinarsReal Talk - Midlife Marriage: Just Not What we Expected. 
Featuring: Dorothy and Christopher Greco, Speakers and IVP Author of "Start Strong", "Making Marriage Beautiful" and "Marriage in the Middle".  

Date: Tuesday, June 18, 2024 at 2:00pm (EST)

Once we hit our forties, it becomes increasingly clear that marriage, parenting, and ministry don't always go according to our plans. We will be disappointed (repeatedly), and we will suffer (ditto). The good news is that we're not alone, nor do we have to walk these unexpected years alone either.  

Join us as we vulnerably engage in some real talk on the second half of life of marriage. We'll explore together the good, bad, ugly and redemptively beautiful too. We will also take time to explore how the larger community, whether married or single, need each other - especially in these lonely years. We really do need each other. Don't miss the chance to learn, glean, and converse with special guest, IVP author, and speakers, Dorothy and Christopher Greco.  

All webinar guests will receive a free copy of our guest book, "Marriage in the Middle".  

Learning Together -

This season, college students and graduates are moving back home and looking for spiritual communities and churches. Whether it's your own child or a new member of your church, learn how to engage Gen Z, they need mentors and a community of people willing to love and invest in their holistic well-being. 

Recently, we were honored to host a webinar that focused specifically on how we as the family of God can walk together, where we’ll provide space for one another to grow together as we navigate faith and life. If you were unable to make our most recent webinar, we’d like to offer it here as a resource that might be catalytic for your journey in community with this next generation of courageous young emerging adults.  

Walking, Growing, & Learning together with this next generation featuring Jason Gaboury, National Director of Alumni Relations and Author of "Wait With Me".  

We hope that your ministry will benefit from what was discussed!

 Heaven is multiethnic—are you ready for that?
The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around God's heavenly throne will be "a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language." But this diverse community shouldn't have to wait until eternity to begin! It can be a reality in our own local churches here and now.  

Patterned after a worship service, In Church as It Is in Heaven gives biblical warrant for such a community and shows how multiethnic churches provide a unique apologetic for the gospel. Along the way, the authors tell the story of their own church—a majority-white congregation which is being transformed into a family that reflects the diversity of heaven.  

Teach Your Children Well (SN Social) 

How do we parent our kids in ways that lead to lasting faith?  

In this course, Sarah Cowan Johnson unpacks how parents can have an active discipleship role in forming their children's faith, with age-appropriate insights and strategies for different developmental stages. She shows how we can identify God moments, facilitate spiritual encounters, clarify emerging beliefs, and encourage new faith habits in our children.
