Reignite Hope - Opportunity for Service

As we invite you into the Spiritual Discipline of Service this week, here is an opportunity to join with God in his creative and redemptive endeavors of establishing justice:

Reignite Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to changing lives both in our own community and in other nations.

It offers a free certified welding program to people who have been homeless, unemployed, in prison, marginalized- offering them Hope in Christ- and the experience that God has a wonderful plan for their future!

They also weld bike ambulances for villages in Africa, saving at least one life a day.
Here is a short video speaking to how God is weaving lives together with purpose through Re-ignite Hope:

29th Day of Lent: Seeing God's Heart for Order: Genesis Moments

Genesis 1:1-3: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day. As we look at God's heart for order this week of Lent, we all know to some depth and breadth the truth that in the very genesis moments of our own births and days in this world, we all seek how to bring order and meaning out of each new experience in the world. Because we are all created in God's image and likeness, we are on this quest to bring God's order into the world- to see that it is "good." That the world exists at all reveals something about God.

Day 7 of Lent: Seeing God's Heart of Abundance Over Scarcity

“Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.  And all ate and were filled.”   -Mk. 6:41-42 Jesus radically disrupts how the world was thought to be.  The wilderness, the “deserted place” in the story, was where there was no viable life-support system.  He thought he was going there to rest, but he was met by a big crowd of those who were drawn to him.  They believed he would indeed disrupt their failed world, though they knew not how. Jesus did not disappoint them.  He was moved with great compassion when he saw the hungry crowd.  He had his stomach turned by their need.  He engaged their hunger, because they lived in a false world without resources.   His disciples accepted the barren wilderness without resources as a given;...

Brave Women Manifesto: “I will yield my financial resources to the Lord’s work.”

In American culture, details about money are a taboo conversational topic. As Christians we also balk at talking about this private matter. From Matthew 6:3-4 we know what Jesus taught us about giving. “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”  But if it's always in secret, how will we learn and grow? I'm suggesting this week, in humility, we learn from one another about  this important matter.  The Holidays are a season of giving, so this next week we want to learn about giving from some in our community.  Lyn shared Friday that generosity is  a way of seeing, a way of thinking, a way of living. Let's unpack that through our own experiences. Each day this week I'll ask a question for the group to respond to. We'll also be hearing from others in our group I've reached out to for their p...
