 A Message from Eric and Jennifer
Over
Flowing Grace
John 2:7-8 (NKJV)
Jesus said to them, "Fill the waterpots with water." And
they filled then up to the brim. And He said to them, "Draw some out
now, and take it to the master of the feast." And they took it.
He does not give to men just enough for their necessity,
but He gives up the higher degree which we call enjoyment.
Here He turns good wholesome water into a sweeter, richer, more nourishing
beverage; perhaps we little know how truly good and sustaining that God-made
drink was to those who were privileged to taste it. Our dear Master will give
to all those who are His followers a joy unspeakable and full of glory. They
shall not only have enough grace to sing with, grace to rejoice with, grace to
fill them with assurance, and cause them to overflow with delight. Our Beloved
has not only brought us to the house of bread, but to the banquet of wine. We
have heaven here below. Jesus does not measure out grace by the drop, as
chemist do their medicines; but He gives liberally, His vessels are filled to
the brim.

Ministering to Today's Families:
Strategies for Effective Ministry to Single Parent and Stepfamilies
– Certification Training
Trainer(s): Jeff Parziale,
Ph.D. and Judi Parziale, Ph.D.
www.instepministries.com
|
Stepfamilies
and single-parent families are the fast-growing family types. Experts estimate
that fewer than 30% of today's families are traditional, nuclear families. Hence,
many now view the nontraditional family as the new family
paradigm. Why is this important to the Church? Most family programs are designed
for nuclear families, leaving nontraditional families feeling marginalized and
less likely to attend church. To discover how to minister effectively to these
families, join us for this post-conference training.
