Snow, snow, snow...
It is really pretty isn't it? I live the snow because it reminds me of the second chance that God gives us each day. God's grace is like the snow it falls and covers us. My family has had a good time in the snow this week. Luke and I went sledding but forgot the pictures. What did you guys all do with the snow?

The change
Change.... change is hard, change is exciting, change is inevitable even...
As we live into the political change that President Obama leads us in; we need to remember that our hope and faith is not soley in one man; but infact in God our creator, Jesus our redeemer and the Holy Spirit our sustainer.
As we change in the next 100 (or so) days, the transformation will be so contagious that others will want to come alongside us. Be ready to share your story of change; remember that we change the world one to one to one to one.
Blessings,
Marie

I was thinking the other day about how God has moved among us…
Just think we are just 12 weeks old and yet we have a good solid Sunday School class for children, we are starting a youth class this week, we serve breakfast to 40 people each week, we are worshiping God in an amazing way…
Change is happening in and through you… let me share some of the stories that people have shared with me…
“I was struggling… I had not really connected at a church, I had been wondering until I walked into Stillwater on Miller Lane… I felt like I was home, it was like the Holy Spirit took a hold of me and told me that I had found my spot.”
“My husband comes on his own, I have pushed him for years but he is now coming on his own… I don’t push it.”
“I have been part of many churches, but I have a church home.”
“My children feel like they own the church”
On this celebration of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. we celebrate all that he did for us, the way that he inspired us…
I hope that you will take time this week to look for ways that you too can make a difference… Maybe it is to connect with a long lost friend, maybe it is to walk in a march celebrating on Monday, maybe it is to work in a soup kitchen or a food pantry.
I found this quote that I find to be so inspiring…
As King said, desegregation will only produce "a society where men are physically desegregated and spiritually segregated, where elbows are together and hearts apart. It gives us social togetherness and spiritual apartness.”
Our quest is to connect both social and spiritual integration…
Can we do it? What are you suggestions to how…
