What s Friend we have in JESUS!


We had our  family devotional today and the topic is  about  JESUS being just an imaginary friend. So I though of posting the lyric of one of my favorite hymnal song which I learned playing in the Piano when I was just 9 years old.. If you have not yet here the song.. see the lyrics and surely you will be reminded of what a friend we have in JESUS

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
  1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
    All our sins and griefs to bear!
    What a privilege to carry
    Everything to God in prayer!
    Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
    Oh, what needless pain we bear,
    All because we do not carry
    Everything to God in prayer!
  2. Have we trials and temptations?
    Is there trouble anywhere?
    We should never be discouraged—
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Can we find a friend so faithful,
    Who will all our sorrows share?
    Jesus knows our every weakness;
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
  3. Are we weak and heavy-laden,
    Cumbered with a load of care?
    Precious Savior, still our refuge—
    Take it to the Lord in prayer.
    Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
    Take it to the Lord in prayer!
    In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
    Thou wilt find a solace there.
  4. Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
    Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
    May we ever, Lord, be bringing
    All to Thee in earnest prayer.
    Soon in glory bright, unclouded,
    There will be no need for prayer—
    Rapture, praise, and endless worship
    Will be our sweet portion there.

Soar up HIgh

If our goal is merely serving for the Lord, we may burn out somewhere along the line because of the trials, temptations and challenges. But if our purpose, is to know Christ and love Him, we’ll find that He will give us the strength to make Him known to others. Let us be joyful in pressing on in the strength that God gives!

Upgrading to your house electrical system

Today  modern  electronic equipment, such as televisions, surround sound systems and computers, are no longer  manufactured to handle old-fashioned electrical systems.  Appliances such as energy efficient refrigerators, washers, dryers and dishwashers need to have electrical supply  that is adequate  or with up-to-date wiring and proper connectivity. This is the main reason why there are lots of fire happening in our city today. Old houses built before  the 80’s  have an electrical system that’s  capable only of providing power to outlets  and are  completely inadequate for today's modern appliances and electronics. Electrical wiring breaks over time and became  fire  hazard.

Therefore, an evaluation of  your home's electrical wiring is necessary. You must take into account the age of your home , the age of the current wiring that is installed and total electrical load . You must also be able to foresee the type of appliances and electronic equipment that will be drawing power for future needs.  Start by getting an  GFI circuit breaker from ACTechWI.com , panel boards and electrical fictures.  You can Find the t5ho light at ACTechWI.com too.

If you are still doubtful with your electrical upgrade, better consult a license electrical engineer or set the services of professional electrical company to do the job for you.

Overseer of Worship Ministry

Getting all the records done for our annual reports is part of my work being the overseer of our worship ministry in our church. It’s also a way of assessing the condition of the musical instruments we are using. Some of them are quite old but we just need to take of it. But several needs replacements especially our two guitars. We decided to buy a new one after seeing a fender jaguar from musicians friend in the net. We believe this is also the right time to avail the no interest scheme given to us by a local music store here in our place as part of their promotion.

6 Reasons You Need a Small Group Ministry



Every ministry model has its weaknesses. Small groups are no different. They have their weaknesses, and I won’t pretend to hide behind them, but there are some benefits to small groups that cannot be ignored:

1 - Healthy Community…if your goal is to foster community in a church. We have already established that small groups provide discipleship opportunities for intentional leaders, but there are lots of other benefits that churches experience from a healthy small group community.

2 - Help Big Feel Small: It is no secret that there is one major fear people have in going to a large church: No one knows them! Small groups change that experience. Every Sunday my wife and I sit with a couple from our small group, and I see over 100 others that do the same each week (and that's just the people I know).

3 - Pastoral Care: Group ministry is the front line of pastoral care in the church. Group leaders and members are the first responders to crisis in a large congregation. There are many emergencies that occur in our church that I am the last to hear about, because our small groups have jumped in and handled the situation before word of it even made it to me.

4 - Evangelism: We have to stop thinking of small groups as "Bible Studies." We have groups at CCV that facilitate relationships that result in evangelism. New people have been attending our church as a direct result of the following affinity groups: softball, kids play group, volleyball, dog walking, tennis, scrap booking, and others.

5 – High-Priority Communication: Do you need to get the word out fast about something important in the church? Leverage the small group ministry network. On numerous occasions we have done this with an important change in the church, or even with communication for a capital campaign to build a new facility on our campus.

6 - Volunteer Network: I can't count how many times we have utilized our small group ministry to rally the troops to get a job done. We would not have been able to staff our kids program when we experimented with our Saturday night service if it weren't for entire small groups volunteering to serve on Saturday nights together.

I guess I look at this whole situation kind of differently. Small groups will continue to exist in all of our communities—with or without churches. I just hope that churches pay more attention to group ministry, because without this vital ministry, churches are the ones at risk, not groups.
