Slow & Steady…

Last night I sat and watched as those who have ministered in the Foursquare Church for 50 & 60 years were honored.  I am inspired and encouraged by the 60 plus people that are still in ministry after all of that time.  As I sat with Mike Mavity I turned to him and just simply [...]

This was our first famine event as a network of youth ministries.  Together we had 4 churches throughout the Capital Region represented.  There were 42 people involved.  On Saturday afternoon we had a [...]

It Is Well…

…that Christ has regarded my helpless estate and had shed His own blood for my soul…                             -It Is Well

I grew up singing the old hymns.  It’s been years since I last sang this song.  Today our worship team brought this song back into the [...]

Under Pressure

Just the way I’m feeling today – except, imagine that the two mountains are slowly moving towards each other…
Think I’ll add Billy Joel’s “Pressure” and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” to my playlist for the day.  Any other suggestions?
