This past Saturday Mickey Connolly taught a parenting seminar at SGC on the goal and the how of parenting. His target was parents of children through aged 12 years, but as a father of three grown children his gaze often extended upwards to the adult years.

Dave Burnett serves us as our Deacon of Benevolence. In this post he invites us into that role and explains how he does it. As elders we have so appreciated his service, and we have seen time again that his wisdom and compassion bring great blessing to others.

A few weeks ago we had our 2013 Family Meeting, a time to annually come together and think about the past year and the year ahead. This year we felt particularly led to focus on the year ahead. God is doing great things in our church, and we wanted to cast vision along those lines.

Loving Our Neighbor, the third part in our vision statement, is something I have been encouraged to see our church grow in over the years....we have many members whose heart for the poor, the suffering, and the lost is an encouragement and an inspiration, like Jim Bastic.

Loving One Another, the second part of our vision statement, is an emphasis my family and I have been blessed by in big and small ways by the body of Christ at SGC over the years. Perhaps you have been too. But it's easy to forget when life gets busy or when we're struggling.

When Mark Prater preached on Gospel Growth a few weeks ago, he mentioned our church vision: Loving God, Loving One Another, Loving Our Neighbor. As Mark talked about our vision statement, I was filled with an intense reminder of how much this church means to me and why.

The college group (CG) is an outreach-focused small group within Sovereign Grace Church. We believe that as young men and women we are called to "go and make disciples" (Matt. 28:19).

Last week a few of us from SGC went to the SG Worship God East conference, Called to Be Faithful, with about a thousand other people from inside and outside of Sovereign Grace Ministries....The conference was a great time of instruction, fellowship, worship, and all the joys a 9-hour road trip can bring!

Michelle Alston wrote a testimony that wonderfully captures how God meets us in a variety of ways through the body of Christ. Sometimes that grace comes to us through a counselor, sometimes a patient friend, sometimes a friend who gives an afternoon to fix our car, and sometimes through singing hymns with our brothers and sisters in Christ. All of that is the body of Christ in action and the grace that comes from it!
