Change

Last weekend, we started our first saturday morning class from 10-11a and now expect it to be our regular class time for now on for beginner/intermediate/advance levels. We pray this change will allow more people to join us in worship before the day starts. Changes can be scary for some, but sometimes is necessary to avoid running in a cycle of insanity. As Pastor Miles put it in one of his messages, "Insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting different results." Having PraiseMoves on friday nights was not at all insane, but keeping it on a friday night with many requests made for a morning was. PraiseMoves is a great way to fellowship with fellow believers and bring people to a form of worship to the Lord that is fun and relaxing. In the end, our desire is to make PraiseMoves available to as many people as possible.

The Serenity Prayer
by Reinhold Niebuhr


God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
