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,

> 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

> 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,
