An Era of Opportunity

The message this morning made me think that at the heart of all we are doing at CCC and in By Design is to encourage caring relationships. I thought of The Calendar that By Design is organizing; the purpose is to give opportunities to be girlfriends...to establish and maintain caring relationships. The proposed Prison Ministry, Angel Tree, Divorce Care, KidsChurch, the Walk Across the Room campaign and on and on...Ladies we are on our way to be a part of The Era of Caring. At least there are things in place that we can plug into to. But we all have a choice to sit on the sidelines or jump in!

Again we have a test!
What best describes us according to what Steve Bell outlined this morning?
High touch?
Low touch?
No touch?
Slap or my idea (since he invited us to rename this category) Mean Touch?

It is interesting to me that on the heels of Pastor Dennis' message last week that we can see change in our lives, this week we have a sense of what we should be changing toward.

Something I have always believed is-- part of the process of our own lives changing is that we have to spend some time thinking about people other than ourselves. This week, in light of this message, as we spend time in prayer and in reading our Bibles let us consider and ask what God wants us to do to move us toward becoming "High Touch" women.
