Investors

From the 10/5/16 Weekly Update by Tim Keller I was in an economics class once where we were given 500 imaginary dollars to invest in a stock that was being traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Seeds Without a Harvest

From the 9/28/16 Weekly Update by Tim Keller There have been times in my life where I labored to plant the good seed of God’s Word in the lives of people. For those who are fond of planting and caring for vegetable gardens you are no doubt aware that the process of preparing the soil, putting the seeds in the ground, […]

Operation Christmas Child

From the 9/21/16 Weekly Update by Marcy Snyder We’ve been packing boxes for Operation Christmas Child for quite a few years, but this past year, Steve and I also spent a day working at the Baltimore Processing Center inspecting boxes to be crated for overseas travel.

Church Isn’t Boring: You Are Boring

An article by Rev. Jim Rudd from the 8/18/16 Weekly Update I like vacation, but I don’t like missing church. Specifically, I don’t like missing services at my home church. It’s not because I feel guilty not being there. It’s because these are the people that I have chosen to live in covenant with. These are some of my best friends. […]

Letting Go

An article by Jenn Billman from the 7/13/16 Weekly Update One summer when visiting family on Lake George in the Adirondacks, I consented to my cousin’s plans to visit the rope swing. Naively believing that somehow flying off a mountain on a rope swing would be safer than the alternative, cliff diving, we piled into the boat and headed down […]

Never Give Up

from an article by Linda Benzon in the 6/29/16 Weekly Update June 19, 2016, was our 40th Wedding Anniversary. One marriage, man and woman, spanning four decades is a rare thing these days- well worth celebrating. I have anticipated this milestone and how we might celebrate it for over a year now, but as the months went by, my enthusiasm waned. […]

In the Hands of God

Article from the 6/22/16 Weekly Update by Maryann Cirillo Believe me when I tell you the aging process is for the birds and birds only.
