  1. Barn Raising

    Comments Off on Barn Raising

    There was a common practice in rural North America in the 18th & 19th centuries. And Amish and Mennonite communities often practice it today. It was a time when the entire community came together to build a barn for a family in their community. 

    Neighbors from miles around would show up — farmers, blacksmiths, and merchants. Some brought tools, and others brought food. Skilled workers handled the preparation, the structure, and specialized labor. At the same time, others carried wood, hammered nails, or simply supported when needed. Even women and children participated where they could.

  2. Whose Fish Are These?

    Leave a Comment
    Whose Fish Are There? — a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "you and I are in a season of “gathering.” We indeed have a godly calling to get the fish/people that Jesus is bringing us into the “boat.”"

    “He told them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’” — Matthew 9:35-38

    Our church has undeniably been blessed with LOTS of new people. Attendance is at an all-time high. New people are just about everywhere! In fact, over the past six years, we are averaging 856 new people/year, 71 new people/month, and 16 new people/weekend. Assuming half of the new attendees don’t even turn in programs, you can perhaps double that number.
