Volume 2 Issue 4

If you are visiting our website for the first time, welcome! You are invited to “sign up” for the weekly newsletter (you may unsubscribe at any time) and consider yourself a part of our growing virtual community of faith. Take a moment to peruse the postings on the Bulletin Board, and feel free to respond with your own thoughts and opinions. The voice of God grows louder with each one who chooses to participate in this theological forum. Our ongoing prayer is that Growing in Christ will inspire you to share this ministry with those you know and love.

Happy Mother’s Day to all who are so instrumental to the miracle called “life!” Praise be to God for the womb in which new life is conceived, and for the inexplicable gracious love that nurtures it from the cradle on. May this be a day on which those to whom the gift of motherhood has been bestowed will be blessed by the love and gratitude of their children.

Dad (Earl Hanna) has posted a thought-provoking article, “Trojan Horses!” to the Bulletin Board. Take the time to read it, and then feel free to respond (he’s thick-skinned and can take it!). You’ll probably catch yourself perusing the other postings while you’re there. Remember that the Bulletin Board is also available as a place to ask questions, offer opinions, and to engage our virtual community of faith. To that end, a “Question of the Week” is being asked for the first time today to further stimulate our theological dialogue: Is President George W. Bush a Christian? Our collective answers will hopefully cause us to rethink just exactly what we mean when we use that term to describe anyone. Let the discussion begin!

The time has come for www.growinginchrist.net to renew its domain name and annual contract with its host server. The costs are nominal, and that is why there has never been any charge associated with this site (that, and the humbling realization that I couldn’t even give this stuff away). Nevertheless, I need to “hear” from our readers whether or not there is a desire for this cyber-ministry to continue for another year. Just a simple “yes” or “no” before May 18 to RevMAH@aol.com will be sufficient, and I’ll act accordingly.

Until next week…….Shalom!
