There are times in the life of every church that it is exciting to the joy and happiness of the people and especially the children. Pastor Tim McNamee of Cityview Christian gave a great message on God's gifts and one of the points was to stir up that gift and use it for the kingdom of God. Yesterday they helped us to put on our annual Winter Carnival and we saw dozens of workers using their gifts for the glory of God. The gifts ranged from cooking a great lunch, to clowns, to balloon making, gifts of organization, to the gifts of helps, the gift of mercy, gift of love and many other gifts were in operation that helped us to set an atmosphere where the children had a great time in the house of God. God is gracious in the giving of gifts. It is up to us whether or not we will use the gifts given to us for good purposes within His kingdom. What a wonderful display of the gifts of God being used yesterday at the winter carnival. It excites me to realize what God wants to continue to do in our midst as we trust Him to anoint the gifts that He has given to us. We can do more together then we could ever do on our own. May God bring the increase to our gifts as we use them for His honor and glory. May God continue to build His church through us as we trust Him to work in and through us.
May His love and grace be with you.
Pastor John
