Aura, thank you so much for sharing! Holidays are both a joyful and uncertain time, especially for those of us who are experiencing these celebrations without the people that we have loved. What an excellent reminder that we celebrate Emmanuel, God with us, this Advent Christmas season, recognizing anew what it means that God has embraced even us as a father.
Thank you for sharing this, Bob! In the past, I have worked in churches that used a variety of digital software tools, including both Slack and the chat feature within the organization suite of Google tools. I have worked with a church that used Microsoft Teams' chat function. Interested to see what other churches use.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Susan! It's amazing to see how much support is available for training young people, lay leaders, and emerging leaders within our denomination.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Dave! It's a wonderful reminder to help Christians to reach out to others and meet them where we at, just as Jesus did the same.
These are such wonderful reminders of things to be grateful for! One practice that helps me remember to be grateful is reading good books. I'm always thankful that I can experience the world through other peoples' eyes and experiences, and being able to take at least a little time to read every day helps make me more aware of the small things in life, and that in turn helps me foster gratitude.
Does anyone else have small practices of gratitude to share?
