The church family needs both the truth that comes from members unafraid to confront when necessary, and the deep compassion of those willing to come close enough to share burdens. Allow God to show you where we are lacking as a church in either of these areas, and how we can do better. Allow God to show you how you should act on Sunday!
In 2006 a church member saw a prayer picture of a craftsman making a jigsaw. It was God building our church. He was making the pieces so that they could be fitted together. Just as vines are shaped and pruned, he is shaping us into what we are to be.
