Blankets...

Brought a load of blankets downtown to the Men's Mission.  Got a chance to hear all that they do down there and how the blankets will be a huge help to those staying there.
Back at the church we talked about Prayer...the last in our series on Spiritual Disciplines.
We talked about whether or not prayer changes God's mind or alters His plans for us...a big/tough topic.  Ultimately, we saw that both in the example of Abraham praying for Sodom and Gomorrah and in Jesus' prayer in the garden before He's betrayed, we need to put our heart's desires before God but be obedient to what He's got next for us.  This presents the possibility of heart break, disappointment, and sadness when things don't go as we want/pray...but it also brings with it the freedom to be honest with God, to have God respond to our desires in ways we not only hoped, but also in ways we couldn't even imagine...


Next week is the Christmas party...it's on FRIDAY the 17th, here at the church, 7-10pm...you won't want to miss it...bring a friend!
