Hi Kathy,
I am praying that the Lords will be done and that it will be a peaceful
meeting.
Huggs and blessings,
Virgie and Lady Hoshi

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
