Hey,
Girlfriend!
I’ve been
trying to call you, but as usual, you’ve been on the GO! What a
hectic time this is in your life, with so many of your family in
crisis. But, rest assured that our prayer team is holding you up in
prayer.
Anyway, since
I haven’t been able to talk to you, thought I’d do the next best
thing and dash off an email…what DID we do before PCs were
invented?! I don’t have much news…still trying to get... Continue reading ...
I recently read a posting on a Facebook page. From other readers
comments, I got the impression there were several people that took it
personally, and thought they might be the target of these comments.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few members in my own family that find
this tactic of deleting everyone that causes them stress to be the
norm. I for one know that there have been several times in my life,
that I have caused my family to be embarrassed by my actions or
choices. However, ther...

As we enter the month of November I am reminded that this is the month we’ll be wrapping up the 5 Fruitful Practices study. What have we learned from this church wide study? For me I’ve learned that there is a boundless joy that comes with being a part of something greater than myself. I feel like the people of Regester have grown closer. This unity is crucial in ministry because we represent the body of Christ. November also makes me think of Thanksgiving. I’m SO thankful tha... Continue reading ...
This month Pastor Ted is going to take us through the book of Mark. The first chapter speaks of how Jesus was rejected. In chapter 7 it speaks of how the people begin to open up and accept Jesus for who He is – the Son of God. There’s a man who is deaf and in need of healing. There’s a woman whose daughter is possessed and in need of healing. At the end of the month we’ll hear of how Jesus walked on water and calmed the storm. Jesus had been rejected as the king so many times,... Continue reading ...

JOHN 3:16
We see this in our culture all the time. We see it on bumper stickers, we see it on t-shirts and we even see it on signs on “professional” wrestling shows. The question is, do we really know how powerful it is? The scripture says “For
God loved the world so much that he gave His one and only Son, so that
everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” WOW! Now that’s good stuff! Because
of God’s great love for us, He was will... Continue reading ...
HAPPY SPRING!
Just typing that makes my soul feel all warm and tingly inside! One of my favorite things to do in the spring is to plant and grow flowers. As I look around the gardens I am reminded of how mighty our God is. He causes the rains to fall and the sun to shine that nourish these beautiful creations. Yes our God is a mighty God. He’s capable of such delicate blessings as giving us the spring flowers. He’s also capable of the most powerful blessings you can imagine – like... Continue reading ...
By Dawn Abel Ya know I’ve learned some lessons in my life. This last year has been a real eye opener for me. I used to stress a lot about directing the Celebration Service. I worried that we wouldn’t have an acolyte. I worried that we wouldn’t have a piano player. I even worried about how loud the sound was and if it was TOO loud. About a year ago my mother in law, Bea was diagnosed with cancer. She would fight a long hard battle that she would eventually lose after 9 months. We were for... Continue reading ...
Dear Readers,
Recently, a friend was asked to write for her church's monthly newsletter, as the director of the Celebration Service (contemporary music). It seems that this is what a lot of our churches are embracing these days, in order to keep the younger members involved. Her aim is to show the elder congregants and the younger ones just how similar they are in their worship.
I felt her writings deserved a spot on our website, so we are launching Dawn Abel's first "It's Contemporary" articl... Continue reading ...
