Subject: Please pray for out church business meeting tomorrow
> Hi Guys,
> I have a rather unusual prayer request. Our church recently
> received an inheritance gift of $25,000. Tomorrow is our, already
> scheduled, quarterly business meeting and, you know what the main
> topic will be. Unfortunately, the church is quickly being divided
> into two camps: those who want to sit on it and, perhaps store it in
> a trust fund, and those who want to take the opportunity to begin new
> ministry. For biblical reasons, Greg and I are pretty much in the
> second camp. Our church is a dying church and while we do some
> ministry, there is just so much more that we could do to reach the
> people of our community if we were willing. The ones who want to
> store the money have emotion on their side, and they don't have a
> vision of what they are saving for. They just want to hang on to
> it. It's kind of like that guy who had one talent. We're just
> praying that the holy spirit will be present, in force, tomorrow and
> that God's desire will be made very clear. Unfortunately, this is
> the down side to congregational style government of a church, but
> with much prayer, and dialogue, and patience, God's will can
> prevail. Please just keep us in prayer.
> Fortunately, the meeting can't go on for too long because Greg has
> to do a committal service in the afternoon.
> Blessings,
> Kathy
