Reaching and Lifting Hearts Through Song- by Carla Nilsen

Have you ever had your teenager rush to the piano to open your hymnal and excitedly show their friends a new hymn? Well, with this new, wonderful new hymnal, that has happened at my house. More than once, Ryan has enthusiastically showed more than one of his friends his new favorite hymn lyrics. It’s Community of Christ Sings number #340, “We are Children of Creation”. His favorite line is

“We are children of creation, star flung bits of living fire, creatures with imagination, framed with passion and desire…”

As you can imagine, this gives my mamma heart joy! I too love the new hymnal and many of the hymns in it!

Last fall, during a Hymn Sing service, we all chose songs from the new hymnal that were meaningful to us.

So here is that list that TCC made. Use it to enhance your devotional time-read the lyrics, or use some of these songs if you are planning a worship service for TCC. If you ever need help teaching a new hymn, please let me know. I love helping us sing from our new hymnal.

Hearing the morning message, singing hymns, attending Sunday school class, etc. provides spiritual inspiration and insight.

I believe in the savior Jesus Christ. I trust that his message and mission are the truth. I want to develop my spiritual understanding of His love. I come to be uplifted by His message through His influence in the lives of others as expressed when we worship together.

Jesus came for sinners, to save them. I come to be saved.

Hmmm….Church or Shamrock Run in downtown Portland? No question – church! It’s a chance to be with my spiritual family, my tribe, my community, to recharge the spiritual battery that gets drained by dealing with issues in the real world and having to endure the insignificant stresses of those who lack awareness of a sense of beyond (where life is about more than what they think is important about work).

“Called to Serve” – by Cindy Weaver

Today’s theme speaks to me in so many ways. The word “called” makes me think of a journey, and being a servant really is a journey. When Jeff started being a servant, I really, really didn’t understand how he felt so strongly about it. It wasn’t until I was well into my own journey that I did understand. “I’m just going to” is how it started. I’m just going to go to the Christmas play, the Thanksgiving potluck, the Christmas dinner, the carol sing. This turned in to “I need to” or “they” need me to. For example, learning more about the church and the bible, or “they need me”-someone is sick can you fill in.

Danny mentioned discerning where God wants him to serve others today. To give others guidance, I have struggled with the concept of discernment. It wasn’t until last year that I felt I understood discerning for myself what I should be doing. The preparation for the national conference, the mission initiatives and the enduring principles have clarified discerning what God wants for me to serve others.

This is just what’s on your mind lets proceed viagra sales france to the first step shall we? In order to buy propecia, no prescription is required. Oats, salmon, soy milk, citrus fruits, brown rice overnight shipping viagra are the good bacteria that promote healthy digestion and build immunity. Prostatitis or prostate inflammation can viagra no prescription affect men of any age group may suffer from erectile dysfunction have an enzyme called PDE-5. A spine can be delivery overnight viagra dysfunctional (not working correctly) for months or years before any pain is felt, thanks to the body’s many compensating mechanisms.

The mission initiative, develop disciples to serve, is totally correct. I see Jesus as my friend who continually walks with me; loving me and supporting me. I have moved from a feeling of “need to do” to wanting to give back to those around me. To try to be more like Jesus in my love, acceptance, helpfulness and giving to others. I have gone from dipping my toe in the service of others to jumping in the deep end. Do I have all the answers? No, God is more subtle and allows us to learn and grow and sometimes be uncomfortable as a way to learn. I am doing things I never thought I would and I am blessed much more than I think I bless others. Being Called to Serve is a two way relationship. By being myself and stretching myself, I can make a difference and I can learn on a journey that is ever changing. I have become a more loving and caring person since starting this journey. I am changed and look forward to where my journey takes me in the future.
