My Bad

Hi everybody,

I'm super sorry for the delay on the blog.  I have been super busy with "life stuff"!  So today I want to ask what you guys are thinking about the Church today.  I know this is no small question, but I'm curious where all of you are at in your thinking about the body of Christ.  Since this is the topic we are learning about in besideus right now, I thought I would give you all a chance to share what you think about the church today in the world, in America, in Michigan, in your life???  I want you to share it all...BUT this is NOT for church bashing!  I want you to give your honest views on the body of Christ whether the body as a whole or even just the one you attend.  What do you think is working well?  What do you think needs some improvement?  I want you to feel free to express what YOU see happening in todays church.  Now before you get crazy on your soap boxes, I need you to be honest and ask yourself what you are doing in the whole mix of things.  I really want to know how you all feel about the church, but I want to know what you are doing to be part of the church too.  I'll give you my thoughts on the church next time!

Before I go, I have a BIG prayer request.  I have a great friend named Eric whose wife just had their second child (Elijah) which is awesome.  But only 3 days after she delivered him by C-section, she discovered she had a major infection in her blood!  She has been fighting for her life for over a week now and needs our prayers!  Please join me in lifting Eric and his wife Jennifer up in prayer as well as their kids and family.  He is hurting watching his wife suffer and she is not only suffering, but unable to be with her new born son.  Thank you so much for all you who choose to answer this request.

Till next time, love you guys

in Christ,

jeremy

I am praying for your friends.That has to be tough, having a newborn and a sick wife.

The body of christ to me is very apparent when I walk into connection church every week. From the greeters at the door to the relevant messages every week. The fact that the pastor is always willing to talk with the congregation after services, makes me feel honestly like this is where God has led me.

I also see the body of Christ working feverishly in Besideus. This series we are going thru has me thinking about my part as a Child of God in reaching others for Christ. I am so pumped to go to Cass Park this weekend!
