What did you say!? I don’t think it is possible to overemphasize the importance of our words. We can direct the course of one’s life by the words we speak to them. Positive, affirming words will strengthen and give life while negative, demeaning words will lead to death. This Sunday we will focus on the opportunity before us to grow in the way we use words. We can all improve in the way we build others up while we turn away from tearing them down.
Some more exciting news!! We are beginning a partnership with New Hope Church in Galt. You can access their website at www.newhopegalt.org. At one time this was a thriving church with over 300 in attendance. Over the past few years they have faced challenges that led to a significant decline. With a new pastor in place, we have been led to assist them in revitalizing this important outreach. Dave and Brooke Ross have a vision to reach Galt with the message of God’s love and have opened their hearts to us to help. This Sunday I will be speaking to their congregation about the possibilities that are before us and on August 16 the New Hope members will join us at CCC as we highlight this new partnership. Preparations are in a place for a Grand Re-Opening of New Hope on Sunday, September 13. It will be a new day for Galt and the things God wants to do to reach people with His love. (This is the first step toward one of the things God has laid on my heart to reach our world in the days ahead. There are many churches that could be revitalized with the help of healthy churches. We are looking forward to more partnerships of this kind in the coming months and years).
