Hoosick Falls Community Alliance Church

A few highlights from D&PC. It was nice to see Mark and Kathy Eikost (those we partner with in Bosnia) and our other I.W.'s.

Thank You, God, for sending Your Spirit. Wiithout You we are nothing. Can I get an Amen!

Please pray for our Northeastern District and Prayer Conference that runs through Wednesday. One day down with lots of great teaching, worship, practical break-out sessions and fellowship. I heard Pastor Jon did a great job on his break-out on Self-Care. A key take-away for me today, being the perfectionist that I am, was from the afternoon breakout I attended called "Harmony of Music and Message." ... GETMO! A term used by a team member to give another team member who is obsessing over something, permission to stop what they are working on and move on (GETMO = good enough to move on ). My prayer is that I can come to a place where I can tell myself GETMO, then actually do it when no one else is around to tell me . Can anyone else relate?

Wednesday at 6:30.

Choosing Where We Will Live Genesis 35:1-15 January 17, 2021 Sermon Sketch: God calls Jacob to dwell in Bethel. Before getting there Jacob calls his family to put away false gods, purify themselves and change their clothes. All of this has significant implications for our year ahead

Aaron Shust wrote this to go with the Alliance theme this year, All of Jesus for All the World. It's really beautiful. Perhaps we'll add it to a worship set soon. https://youtu.be/DtsuP5AoTLA

The Hope of Christmas Past Luke 2:1-20 December 13, 2020 Sermon Sketch: Luke’s birth narrative never gets old in the retelling. God invades human history and begins the process of setting all things aright. A heart filled with hope is only part of what one gets from carefully considering these truths
