Compassion Child

Make a difference in the life of a child who is trapped in poverty.  Your sponsorship of $35 per month will provide educational, social, and health benefits through a local church in the community where the child lives.  You can develop a relationship with him or her through letter writing and provide for the child's physical, social, and economic needs.  Best of all, each child will hear the gospel and have the opportunity to learn of God's love.

Sign up online at www.compassion.ca or talk to Ron R. for further information.

 
ComBap Update - Older and Wiser edition - July 29, 2008
Bringing People into the Caring Community of Christ

July  29, 2008

Hello ComBapers:
You are now the proud owners of a "one-year" wiser pastor.   Granted, I don't feel any wiser.... or look any wiser (as far as I can tell) but, biblically speaking, I am another year closer to being an "elder" in the "older and wiser" sense of the word.

The Bible talks quite a bit about respecting and listening to those who are older than us.  It turns out that many of our seniors have oodles of wisdom just gushing out of them... and all that is needed to find it is to ask.  

OK.  Now I know some of you are already freaking out because you know one or two seniors who make the "Grumpy Old Men" men look like Mother Teresa.   You can safely ignore them... and now think of some other seniors!  

So... go talk with that senior.  Find out what makes them excited.  Passionate.  Able to get up every morning even though there are more creeks and pains than they can count.  Ask them how they met Jesus... and how they keep things fresh.  Ask them to pray for you...they actually will!!

Now... here's a couple of nuggets of wisdom that I think I've learned over the past year:
1.  We, in the church, need each other more than ever.  We need to stick together as we spread ourselves out.
2. Being a Sr. Pastor adds 20 lbs.
3. Our teens are awesome and ready to minister for Jesus (OK... I knew that before but I saw it in action!).
4. The Riders can win.
5. I am less right about things.  

Feel free to email me stuff that you have learned this past year.  I'd love to compile them!
