Operation Backpack = Success
8.12.2010 // Jessica Richey

Over the past month our KidsPoint children have been collecting backpacks and school supplies to help children in our community. This project was especially meaningful to our children because they could relate. All children need school supplies; the lesson learned was that some children don’t always have the means to buy the supplies they need. [...]

The Good, the Bad, and the Peaceful
“Starting to argue is like making a crack in a dam. So drop the matter before a fight breaks out” (Proverbs 17:14, NIrV).
Will kids be going back to school in August where you live? What does “back to school” bring to mind? New jeans? Football [...]

Our Children’s Role In Worship
7.10.2010 // Daniel Pratt

Even as a boy Isaac was accustomed to worship. On the way to Mount Moriah, carrying the wood on his back, he noticed there was no sacrificial animal and asked his father Abraham, “Where is the lamb?” (Gen. 22:7). This was obviously not the first time Isaac and his father had performed a sacrifice together [...]

5.25.2010 // Jessica Richey

In my attempt to write a review of Gospel-Centerned Family by Tim Chester and Ed Moll I found a review that is better than I could do so I wanted to share it with you. This is a practical, easy read that is worth your time. I highly recommend getting this book!

Do Words Matter?
5.15.2010 // Daniel Pratt

Do words matter? Whether sung, prayed or heard, do people really focus on the words during worship? There is no doubt that worship services have their own distractions and interruptions. For other reasons, some people have a difficult time focusing during worship. At the core of the worshipper, when they are able to focus, what [...]

Chill Out
This May we are studying Patience, which is waiting until later for what you want now. Here’s the lineup:
If you don’t wait, it could cost you. Remember what Esau traded away for a bowl of soup because he let his stomach go to his head? (Genesis 25)
Don’t [...]

Uncomfortable
3.5.2010 // Daniel Pratt

Why does it seem like the things that I have the most trouble with, are the things God likes to make me face directly?
Like, for instance - forgiveness.
Or, more intensely - loving people who, to me, seem completely un-lovable.
Or removing myself from my reclusive little world and engaging with others.
I find it most peculiar that [...]

Thank You
2.27.2010 // Daniel Pratt

I just wanted to take a second and tell my community of family and friends at Woodlands Point a huge thank you. Last night, the CD release concert, was a dream for me. Thank you for allowing me, your worship pastor, to go out and do things like this. Thank you for [...]

Teaching Children about the Haitian Crisis
1.25.2010 // Jessica Richey

Most likely your children have seen images and heard about the crisis in Haiti. How do you explain what happened to young children?
Be honest. Don’t sugarcoat what is going on in Haiti. Explain to your children what is happening so that they may pray for the people effected and their specific needs.
Speak to them on [...]

Elementary Lessons for August
Do You Feel the Love?
How does that Beatles’ song go? “All you need is love …” When you think about it, just about everything we do with or for others boils down to love. Which, of course, doesn’t come as a surprise to God-followers, the Creator of love. He IS love, after [...]
