Dear Friends, Fall break is a colorful time of the year. It often reminds us of the varied aspects of God: His creations, His character and His revelations.

Dear Friends,

“The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight.”

Recently I read on a blog that young adults will volunteer and lead when: (1) they know that their time is going to be spent wisely, (2) they know that their actions are going to have an impact on their families, or (3) they know that their actions are going to have an impact on the world. If this is so, which do you think is more important for you?

Please keep in your prayers . . . ▪

I have started to read The Tribal Church (by Rev. Carol Merritt) which addresses issues for young adults who are both within the church and those who are not attending anywhere. The book suggests that the local church can address needs of young adults while remaining flexible in what ministries they would like to offer. I am curious about how this applies to SHPC. I would like to invite you to share honestly what new ministry that you think Sequoyah Church could offer. Be creative! We’d love to hear your ideas and it would be interesting to learn of a ministry we have never heard of. As you share ideas about new opportunities for growth, may God use it to edify each of us who are part of His church.
