NEVER HAD IT SUMMED UP LIKE THIS BEFORE.
Why go to Church?

I think this is fantastic, I just love the guy's answer. Enjoy and pass it on.
A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.
He wrote: "I've gone for 30 years now, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time, the preachers and priests are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all".

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column.
Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals.
But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.

Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing, God is UP to something!
Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible & receives the impossible!
Thank God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment!

IF YOU CANNOT SEE GOD IN ALL, YOU CANNOT SEE GOD AT ALL !

Sharing a thank you message to our Quilting Ladies:
Hi, my name is Samantha Mellum, and I am the daughter of John Ferguson. I’m also the PTSO President at Sonnesyn Elementary in New Hope Mn. I wanted to share the post I recently made on social media about the quilts you donated to our school.
We are a Title I school in a low-income neighborhood, and the quilts you donated last year — and again this year — have been put to such good use. You can truly tell they were made with so much love and care. We are incredibly grateful.
For me personally, it means a lot to give back to the community where I grew up and to share with others how a small church in Dundee can have such a big heart. Thank you again for your generosity and for supporting our families in such a meaningful way.

An interview with our new bishop elect.

Bishop Yehiel Curry will start his new role in October. “In many ways, this is an example of the church saying, ‘We see you,’” Curry said.
