Spring Woodland's Church of Christ

Grace Crossing, A Community Church of Christ

What a blessing the 1st Sunday at Oak Ridge HS was! Both services were well attended and every Bible class was over flowing! We are off to a GREAT start, and I commend the attitudes of the Leadership & Ministry staff. I was so impressed with the volunteers in our ministry teams - what an awesome job of preparation and planning.
It truly was a pleasure to serve with such committed Christians - & I know the Lord is pleased. There is no substitute for serving together to draw us closer as a church family. I am so honored to serve with you. Carl

Grace looks good on you!

The Heart of the matter.
Well, I've got to say that the most meaningful part of Sunday was the concept of how "Grace looks good on us." I really like that concept and hope it was an encouragement to others. We have ONE more case study in this series (Church at Rome) and then we move to 3 prescriptive areas. I am looking forward to this!
And I am still VERY encouraged by the over 300 people committed to basic spiritual health! We will surely see big changes in our lives, by the Lords power & grace. (and Grace looks good on you!)

Here we go!

I was AMAZED how interested people were in improving their lives (Spiritual AND physical). Over 80% of the church families that were in Worship this past Sunday signed up to “Commit” ! WOW!!! That was wonderful. What a difference this makes to be in this together.

Strong, Positive Attutudes are crucial here, so let's keep it up for each other! Blessings, Carl

I’m Working Here! (You’re Not The Only One!)

> If you’re Christian, YOU’RE in the “MINISTRY!”
The wisest man to ever live said: “Two are BETTER than ONE.” In Ecclesiasties 4:9-12, Solomon shows the Rewards, Encouragement, Protection, & Strength we receive from working together with others.

Jesus said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35)
What if every Christian gave >3 Hrs / week to serve God? (At least 1 hour in worship, at least 1 hour in Bible class or small group, and at least 1 hour in ministry to others).

God has hand “crafted” each one of us! (Ephesians 2:8-10) You are His workmanship. (“Workmanship” implies thought, care, time, and personal attention) What if we gave that same attitude back to the Lord in service? What a difference that would make! In our lives, on the job, and in the church! > If you’re Christian, YOU’RE in the “MINISTRY!”
