Pray for Inspire 2019 ~ Inspire 2019 is a conference to connect people from across the 1,000+ churches in the Christian Reformed Church for three days of worship, workshops, speakers and conversation. As this event is planned and prepared to happen August 1-3 in Windsor, Ontario, join in praying for the event and all who will attend. Please pray for the workshop leaders and break-out session facilitators and those who will attend in this conversation and learning event. Pray that these sessions will inspire, equip and make a positive impact on individuals and churches.
Kid’s Korner ~ When is it important to keep a secret and when is it important to tell it? Liz and Lucille learn how to tell the two types of secrets apart. Listen at kidscorner.net.
Family Faith Formation ~ Doubts aren’t a sign of weak faith – they’re evidence that people are wrestling with big
questions. Create an atmosphere in your home that invites kids to ask questions, express doubts and think and feel their way into the big questions of life. “What do you think about that?” is a very affirming question, no matter what your age. (Faith Formation Ministries: crcna.org/FaithFormation)
The Gift of Mercy ~ God commands us to be merciful, just as he is merciful to us. So why does Paul list mercy as a spiritual gift? Join Groundwork in exploring Romans 12:4-8, 17-21; Matthew 9:10-13 and Luke 6:36-48 to discover what it means for all believers to show mercy and why it also qualifies as a spiritual gift. Listen at GroundworkOnline.com.
Missions ~ You can make a difference in the life of a young person in Hungary this summer. Resonate partners Rev. Jamos & Momo Victor are inviting college-aged students from Canada and the United States to help lead two week-long evangelistic English camps. All you need is a love for kids, a sense of adventure and a desire to serve God. Learn more about this opportunity at resonateglobalmission.org/summercamp.
