Missionary Moment
by Tim Batchelor
Summer is both an exciting and challenging time in church life. It is exciting because most churches plan special events like gospel sings/concerts, Mission Trips, Vacation Bible School, Homecoming, Revival services, and Ice Cream Socials (my favorite). These events give us an opportunity to invite/meet guests and to minister beyond our typical spheres of ministry. Summer also brings a challenge to church life and ministry because of the break in routine of ministry and the sporadic attendance in our gatherings. There is a discouragement that comes with declines in attendance and giving patterns. While patterns of ministry and attendance may change during the summer months, we can still maintain and advance the work of each church during this season...

Living Between Sundays
  The alarm rings entirely too early on Monday morning. How do you respond to this “oh, so rude” wake-up call? Because how you respond will have a profound impact on how you live your life between Sundays. And your response will affect every person you encounter between Sundays.
​
  If you’re like the hundred million or more Americans who wake up dreading Monday because of work or school or something else less than pleasant to your palate, you will likely be annoyed and want to throw your alarm out the window.
​
  On the other hand, what if you didn’t dread Monday mornings? What if, like the godly man of Psalm 1, your heart leaped for joy because of a refreshing night’s rest and a new opportunity to “delight…in the law of the LORD; and in His law…meditate day and night.”?(1) How different would your Mondays be?
