On Saturday September 26th, a dozen parents gathered at Pulpit Rock Church. We found ourselves instead gratefully connecting with other parents who could understand our lives and journey better than anyone else we’ve ever met. Sharing story with those who “get it” is an incredibly encouraging experience.
We have another story to tell you about a small group service project. This one is about community. About starting new relationships. About stepping outside our front door and breaking down imaginary walls between neighbors.
At Pulpit Rock, we recognize that life is hard, messy and often overwhelming. The good news is God never intended for us to go through this messy life alone. He values community that comes through relationships. He created us to be in relationship with Himself and with each other. Enter Women’s Ministry…
Sometimes it’s difficult to see the things we truly love when there is so much stuff surrounding us. This year I invite you to take a moment to pause and ponder whether you’re making space for the things that are important.
When our small group decided to do a service project together, we talked through the different things each of us had to offer. One of the couples on our small group used to teach East Coast Swing lessons to college students. My husband and I own an ice cream store in town. We thought, ‘There must be someone out there who needs ice cream and dancing!’
As you know, our Women’s Ministry Leadership has spent this last year praying for God to give us a ministry where every woman can participate. God has answered our prayer!
One of the great joys I have as your pastor is working with an incredible staff. I believe that leading and serving Pulpit Rock is the strongest and most talented staff I have ever worked with.
Three years ago, I was captivated by a woman’s heart for ministry around her table. After reading her story, I was convinced that beautiful things happen around a table. And I wanted to be intentional about creating a space for God to show off His beauty at mine.
