Be Still
Being still is something that is not easy, as normally we never are still. We are usually busy, running, busy with our chores, watching television, talking on the phone. Suddenly life changes and God allows us to be still with the opportunity that everything changes after the stillness. On September 17, 2000 I was […]
A Bright Spot in Darkness
So thankful for our Market volunteers as they settle in on the “new normal” for this season of how they serve our guests. On Sunday, they saw 14 families, and more came on Monday as well. This really has me thinking about the less fortunate in our city. Many of us are able to […]
Redemption Kids: A Gift From God
Redemption Kids is the biggest ministry here at our church, with almost 300 workers and just over 200 kids. There are four teams for each service, which consist of about 70 workers each week. I have been so blessed these past few months with the love and support of my workers in our Kids […]

Today was to be the beginning of our Spring Bible Study Session on Romans 8. It would have been a busy day in my life and the life of the church, with all the hubbub of women meeting up together after a couple weeks’ break. Currently, 135 women are signed up between the morning and […]
Pruned
I received this note the other day from Dr. Linda Reed, who is one of the adjunct professors at Heritage Bible College and Seminary, and wife to our President Dr. Rick Reed. I am board chair, so Linda thought I might appreciate her thoughts on what she and Rick are going through in this season, […]

I just wanted to share with you why I’m missing Men’s on Monday nights and how this shut down due to COVID-19 has impacted our ministry and me personally. Besides the fact that we were just about to start a new study and I was looking forward to digging into the story of the […]
