Children & Youth Ministries
Tim Shaw, Minister of Students
Someone once said that there are two ways we can live our lives. We can focus on Jesus and
acknowledge the storms in our lives, or we can focus on the storms and acknowledge Jesus.
These options may sound very similar, but they are vastly different.
Focusing on the storms keeps us lost in the problems we are facing, but when we focus on
Jesus we are able to rise above the circumstances in our lives and see them from a different
perspective. Focusing on Jesus is what allows us to live with the joy of the Lord when others
seem to be weighed down by present circumstances.
The life of the Apostle Peter is one that encourages me and Peter is a great example of this
principle. In the midst of a storm, Jesus told Peter he could get out of the boat and walk on the
water. Peter was able to do this miracle because his focus was on Jesus, but when Peter took
his eyes off the Lord and began to focus on the storm around him, he began to sink. The same
thing can happen to each of us in our own lives. Focusing on the problems makes them appear
so big that our circumstances can begin to seem overwhelming. However, focusing on Jesus
has the opposite effect and puts our problems in the right perspective. We know they are there,
but we know Christ is bigger.
So, in Peter’s own words, “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may
have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of
your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in
praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” (1 Peter 1:6-7)
Grace, Mercy, and Peace,
Tim

WOMEN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
WMU will sponsor Women’s World Day of Prayer on November 4th at 6:00 p.m. at
College Street Baptist Church. This is a day when women world-wide have a day of
prayer to pray for women and missions the world over. This is not for WMU, but for
God’s Women. Please come and be God’s woman with a love for God and
missions; join us in prayer for women around the world.
PRISONER PACKETS
Prisoner packets are given to prisoners in our state to show Christ’s love.
We ask that you make a contribution of $10.00 for purchase of supplies for
these packets. The items requested are very restricted as to content. It is
much easier to collect the money and then one person make the necessary
purchases to complete each packet. We only had eight (8) packets to deliver to
Beaverdam Association last year. Please consider this in your Sunday School
class or small group or as a family. “…..I was a prisoner and you visited me”.
This is a way to minister to prisoners by demonstrating Christ’s love to them
through your gifts. Maybe this is what will turn even one prisoner to the love of
Jesus through you and your gift. Your contribution may be given to Debbie
Rukat or dropped off by the office.
INFORMATION DEADLINES FOR NEWSLETTER & BULLETIN
Thank you for helping us keep items of interest to the church family printed in a timely
manner. This allows sufficient time to plan ahead for you and your family members.
Items that need to be printed in the newsletter publication should be in the office (in
print) either by e-mail, fax or drop off a note to us by TUESDAY NOON prior to printing
the newsletter every other week. Items that need to be printed in the bulletin for Sunday
need to be in the office no later than THURSDAY NOON in print again by e-mail, fax or
a printed note. Thank you for keeping this in mind when planning your events.
