Manage your attitude or someone or some circumstance will!
Manage your spirituality or the cares and attractions of this present age will!

Last Sunday was Mothers day
Pentecost Sunday
60th Anniversary of the Israel becoming a nation. A critical event in biblical prophecy!
 Had a delightful day at Greeley Sunnyview…
Pastor Vern & Eileen Carpenter have been pouring themselves into the labors at Sunnyview for the last 5 years. Pastor Carpenter is a soul winner. I have great admiration for his passion and drive to see lost people come to Christ. He not only preaches it but practices sharing the message of salvation one on one with lost people. He has testimonies to share of marvelous transformations of people coming to Christ thru these efforts. Pastor Vern recently went thru a difficult surgery but he is giving God praise for bringing him thru it and is back 90% to strength. I don’t know Vern’s age… he may be celebrating his 29th or 39th birthday for the 2nd or 3rd time but it doesn’t matter, he is such an encouragement to know that you can press forward in the ministry and be faithful and fruitful with joy and enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Vern is a living example that; Positive attitude is not a result or a response, it is a choice!!!

Thank you pastors for your good labors over this past year. No doubt there is stress in pastoring but it also provides a pedestal on which great benefit and great blessing can result.
"Pastors, You are and will continue to reap a harvest if you don’t allow weariness in your well doing to paralyze you or defeat you!!!" (Gal 6:9 paraphrase my own) |

MINISTRY SHARES:
Here’s an update on how we are doing as a district with our ministry shares for others…
The Budget year is nearing the end and just a thought if you’re struggling with final year end budgets: An informed people are a giving people! And uninformed people are non-givers. |
