After the snow and cold of February, I am hoping for a bright change to spring. However, I did have a thought when snow covered the ground and change the look of the landscape for a few days. When you sprinkle a layer of snow on Rick Stevens everything, it looks better. Before the snow is disturbed it makes even the messy things of the world look neat. As we know, that does not last long, but is pretty for a while. That scene led me to consider how our view changes when we draw close to God. Being in His Word and in His presence makes us begin to see things in ways that He sees them. But, when we draw away from God, we quickly go back to seeing them the way the world sees them. How is your vision lately? There are a couple of things I want you to know about this month. First, we are excited about an opportunity to get a sneak peak at the new movie from the makers of “Fireproof.” They are releasing a new movie this year that shows the power of prayer. We will be showing that to pastors, staff and wives in late April. Be on the lookout for details. Second, we are excited about the Bivocational and Smaller church pastor and wives retreat that will happen on the last weekend of March. We will be at Paris Landing State Park and we will join with the Associational Churches under Bro. William Gray for this great event. Finally, I know you area already gearing up for VBS this year. Our annual clinic on April 13 will be powerful. Make sure your calendar is marked for that event. As I close, let me share one final thought. My wife, Shirley, and other ladies in our Association have established an encouragement group for pastor and staff wives. They meet about once every six weeks or so. We have seen several wives who have been involved in that group. The premise of that group is that Ministry Wives face some real challenges. Are you praying for your Pastor or Staff Wives in your church? Have you expressed gratitude for her lately? Many of them are very active in our churches and in the ministry of their husbands. Take time to let them know how special they are! Church News ALVA is seeking a volunteer Student Ministry Leader. Contact Pastor Dan Richard at 931.362.4784. EXCELL is seeking a part time Associate Pastor/Student Pastor. Send resumes to: Attention Associate Pastor Search Committee 328 Excell Rd Clarksville, TN 37043 or email [email protected].
