Dear members of RevGalBlogPals,
There are two items I want to share with you regarding prayers and our community.
First, did you know that we have a password protected prayer blog, called RevGalPrayerPals? We established it a few months ago, so newer members may not be aware of it. Each day a ring member posts a prayer or poem or image as a tool for reflection, and anyone who has a prayer need may write it in the day's comments. If you would like to become part of that praying community, please send me an e-mail and I will arrange the Blogger invite.
Second, those of you who have joined the corporation, RevGalBlogPals, Inc., already know that a planning committee formed from corporation members has begun its work on our long hoped-for Big Event in 2008. We would like to ask for your prayers for the planning process, that we might discern faithfully what God wants for the future of this organization and how that might best be served in the timing and topics of the Big Event.
I am deeply appreciative of the input that came via the last Friday Five and will make sure we take all suggestions under consideration.
Blessings,
Songbird
songbird reading the blogs last friday was not only fun but really showed what a deep connection has been built amongst members of this ring- it would be sooo good to meet up- prayers for all of the Matirachs and the committee as they plan. :-)

I am darn near wagging at the thought of the Big Event.
ReplyDeleteUh Songbird we who are here at the FOH are recommending that since next year is in Minn. that those who are nearby could be the hosts of the BIG GET Together, and have it in Minn. either before are after. There were two here who said they would be ever so willing.
ReplyDeleterevabi and everyone else -
ReplyDeleteWe are going to do the best we can. The committee responsible for pulling this together meets in early July and everyone's feedback and responses to the Friday Five will be taken into consideration.
More opportunities for feedback and ideas may be forthcoming.
In the meantime please keep in mind that we will not be able to please everyone.
Kinda like church work, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteSorry ... I deleted previous message due to error .. my prayer request is that we pray daily that the church hear the message of so many unchurched longing for authentic community. See Erika G's blog at: here
ReplyDeleteof course we can't please everyone -nor will everyone be able to afford to take part. That's understood.
ReplyDeleteThe important thing IMHO is that we seek the way forward and also make the most of the opportunites God gives us now.
What is REVGALSBLOGPALS - for good or bad it's us - and the question is what are we doing. I'd say we're forming a GREAT community - albeit on line - supporting each other in ministry, whether its of the ordained kind or otherwise.
and I love it
Thanks too for the reminder of the pray blog. That's a cool 'side bar' away -and praying for the members of this community is GREAT to do.
