Our meetings is where we chat, pray, share praise reports, study God's Word, and always always always listen to one another about the real things that are going on in our lives:
Here is the list of opportunities for ministry which are available to you.
Please join us for live ministry every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for two hours beginning at:
We usually have Communion together on the first Friday of the month. Come join us when you can.
We have other groups that are meeting in the chat room as well. Please feel free to join us for these as you have time. These groups are for both menand women.
The first Monday evening of the month will be dedicated to Women’s ministry. Bonnie Armstrong and Jo-Anne Yale will be holding these meetings which will last for one hour. Both of these ladies are precious, and will direct our thoughts toward walking as the Lord would have us to walk as women in The Faith in the 21st century.
Moments With Ray And Ann
Moments With Ray And Ann Ray and Ann Craft are two of the most lovely people you’ll ever meet. Come and see what they may have planned for us. At times, things will be light and easy, and at others, there may be deep intimate ministry with those who have gathered, filled with loving and warm encouragement and prayer for someone just going through a rough patch.
The fourth Monday is Hans Zandstra, a wonderful brother right here in the city where Terry and I live. He has been with us for many months now, and we appreciate his teaching and his warm and loving style of delivering the Word to his listeners.
Monday evening meetings begin at
Beginning the second Tuesday evening of January, 2012, join Lynn White for Word Of Hope Bible study. Lynn has been with us before, and it is our pleasure to have him return. Lynn is an experienced Sunday school teacher, so I know you will enjoy his teaching once a month.
The third Tuesday evening, I will be presenting Tech Tips. We will begin with learning common tasks on the computer that all of us can find useful in our everyday lives. But, like many others online, we will be exploring othertypes of technology that we would find to our benefit, particularly those that are easy for us to operate as blind men and women, and perhaps boys and girls as well.
I will be teaching what I know, relying on both audio and written tutorials to aid in that teaching,and from time to time I will have either a live guest, or a recorded clip from someone demonstrating either something on the computer, or another appliance or device.
This presentation will be done in a relaxed and informal style that should help us all to enjoy our time together and not get too up tight as we learn the steps to accomplish our goals.
The fourth Tuesday will be Hans Zandstra’s brother Doug Zandstra from Tulsa. He too has taught before, but due to his work schedule had to leave us, but now that his schedule has changed, he is delighted to return to present the Bible in a practical style that will be easy to follow.
Tuesday evening meetings begin at
But what about the first Tuesday you ask? We are expecting that Cy Selfridge will be returning sometime in the next few months with his program Around The Kitchen Table. It was a great success before, and the only reason it was terminated was because Cy was in massage therapy school, and then had many clients to help for quite awhile, and some family situations that needed his attention. Please pray with us that he will indeed be able to return to us soon.
If you were never privileged to attend Around The Kitchen Table, then you will want to try and attend each month once we begin it again. This is a time to bring up some of the troubling things in our lives, and listen to the wisdom that Cy has to give us. At one time, he had twelve children in the house, so I’m sure he has faced most situations we can think of to bring to him. And in addition to being a father, he has worked in several different situations, including being On the staff of a newspaper at one time.
Friday evening, join Jo-Anne Yale from Toronto, as she presents Sonshine (notice spelling) And Song, a lively meeting featuring music by those who wish to sing along with friendly chat, and often a look at a Bible verse and discussion of what it means to those who are attending.
Friday evening meetings begin at
If you live in Europe, or another country, please go to TimeZoneConverter.com and you will be able to convert these times to see when the meetings are taking place in your area.
Each Saturday afternoon, join my husband, Terry Phillips for prayer time in the chatroom where we will lift up the ministry, the leaders of our individual nations, and whatever is on our hearts as we pray. We begin at:
PRAYER FOR PASTORS!
Join Paul Smith each Sunday morning for an hour of prayer for our pastors. We will each pray for the pastor we sit under, whether that is a local pastor, or whether we are a member of an online church community. We may also wish to pray for support staff such as Sunday school teachers, nursery workers, musician and singers, as well as ushers and greeters.
The Sunday morning meeting begins at:
We have a telephone ministry meeting on Sunday afternoon for those who have unlimited long-distance in North America and who would enjoy talking with one another via phone conference. And we invite those who have access to international calling on skype to join us as well. Bonnie Armstrong leads the first two meetings of the month, while Paul Smith will be leading the third and fourth Sunday’s. I will leave it to these two presenters to say what happens on the fifth Sunday as it may depend upon what’s on the regular calendar whether they will meet on those particular afternoons.
I will give the number here for those viewing our webpage who wish to join us. We will begin at
To participate, please call: (712) 432-3066. When prompted, enter ID: 976895.
We will meet for at least an hour. Most of the time, there will be no formal discussion, just friendly chatting. However, we reserve the right to have a directed discussion of a particular topic from time to time. Please wait to be addressed before speaking after you have identified yourself. In this way there will be no one talking over others which can lead to confusion if there are many people on the line at one time. Please be patient, we’ll get to everyone as quickly as we can. If there is loud noise in the room where you are, or you need to speak to someone nearby,please mute your line while you are not speaking. To do this: press 4* to both mute and unmute your individual phone line.
We pray that these additions may be of service to those who work throughout the week and may not have a chance to participate in any of the other activities of the ministry.
