1 eaverdam ouzie s hapel : wo mazing hurches, ne wesome od 2016 ssue 8 Dear hurch amily, ur ood inistry is gearing up for another winter season of delivering the firewood that they cut, split and stack all year long. Yay od for this ministry in our midst. peaking of wood; on eptember 17th our new irginia onference ishop, ev. harma ewis, was welcomed into our conference during a worship service celebration. ishop ewis s scripture text for her sermon that morning was 2 imothy 1:6: hat is why remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift od gave you when laid my hands on you. (ew iving ranslation) nother translation of that same scripture speaks of stirring up the gift that od has given to you. he spoke of how the Holy pirit stirs us and fans the flames of the gifts of od in our lives. hat we must let those embers be stirred, those pockets of fire be flamed so that we ignite into powerful ministry through the Holy pirit. Her sermon made me think of how when a piece of wood catches fire, it ignites all the wood and other flammable materials anywhere near it. he power of od s Holy pirit is as combustible as a piece of wood that has seasoned well. o watch out est Hanover harge the Holy pirit is about to be stirred up and fanned into flame in our churches. he winds of the Holy pirit will stir us and inflame us with od s power and empowerment. od alone knows all the dried kindling pieces laying around that soon will be aflame with od. ow that s a bonfire can t wait to watch! ith transforming hope, laudia ontacting astor tallings: hurch: Home: ell: beaverdamumc@embarqmail.com
