Good God Things Happening

11/3/2017

By Pastor Kevin Van Wyk
As I go through my week, I tend to let the busyness, and particularly the difficult, negative stuff, consume my thoughts. It’s easy to do. The uncertainty and fear of what may be can get the best of us all. But God is working in some really good ways. Check out the following ways God is working all around us. . .
 
  • Did you see all the prayer chain updates? 
    • Silas is improving after a near fatal seizure! 
    • Beverly’s leukemia appears to be gone! 
    • Steph’s father quickly recovered and went home from the hospital the day after the prayer chain went out. 
 
  • The Harvest Festival was a great time to mingle, enjoy some good food, and raise money for a great cause… a mission trip to Houston.
 
  • This week the worship and music committee had a great discussion around an article (http://seniorpastorcentral.com/3771/rethink-christmas-eve-services/) and moved to plan two Christmas Eve Services! The elders supported the idea, and the deacons approved sending a postcard invitation to over 5,000 households!
 
  • I also heard again from the deacons about the generosity and faithfulness of the congregation. They are so grateful for your support and the ability to help those in need.
 
  • I learned more about Faithwalking from the director in Houston, a RCA staff member in Michigan, and 3 pastors scattered around the state. Faithwalking is a spiritual formation process. Not a class or a small group, but a journey where participants are transformed by God through experiences (retreats, coaching, cluster discussions). Several churches are seeing lives changed, and they want to bring it to our area!
 
  • I participated in some deep discussions with the Pastor’s Network, the Sunday School class, the Classis Executive (Servant) Team, and several individuals. All these were raising difficult issues, but leading toward better understanding and unity.
 
  • Miley and some teens shared how they are being blessed by Youth for Christ at the Comedy Cafe event at the Union. Of course, great fellowship and food was also involved.
 
There really are so many good God things happening around us. Let's celebrate them today.
