1. I am surprised how many people I have talked with or heard about in recent weeks who have anger issues – people who have caused great harm to themselves or to others because they are always expressing every thought with a mad tone. No one wants to be around them. When God brings several people with the same problem to me in a short time, I take it as a sign that this topic should be addressed. It is coming in the future but I do not know the exact dates yet. The Bible says to let your gentleness be known to all people. My heart goes out to those who have anger issues. What are you fearful of?
2. Many people start new devotional habits in January. Check out the links on the FMC website for helpful ideas. Here is the link to the You Version reading plans that were talked about last Sunday. www.youversion.com/reading-plans
3. Step into ministry with coffee and donut set up Sundays. It takes about 40 minutes for one person to do and it needs to be done by 7:30 a.m. for the early arrivals. Contact me and you can get started in ministry this week. Maybe your small group would like to take this on as their ministry.
