God has determined to do nothing that happens on earth without people! When He created man. He positioned him as administrator over His entire creation. He was to oversee it, he was to organize it, he was to give each entity a name and have dominion over it. The Lord has never revoked this; it was not even suspended through the fall

The pastors and clergy in our community are entrusted with the most important task of shepherding the flock that God has placed in their care. While ministry descriptions vary among the different churches the role of the pastor is one that is often not easy and many times misunderstood. We need to pray for the clergy of all our churches in Hanover

Truly Hanover has been blessed with a variety of businesses and industries that provide employment for the people who live here and provide services that enrich our lives. At the helm of many of these businesses and industries are men and women who lead often stressful lives and day in, day out wrestle with decisions and actions that could have far-reaching consequences.

This week we are going to focus on the various leaders that we have in our community. According to the Bible, there are various areas of social responsibility entrusted to people. People who are entrusted and given positions of authority as they lead under various mandates. Unfortunately, most of us lack an awareness of the importance of our prayer for the carriers

There are a group of people we encounter that many of us never really think of. Mainly because the encounters are limited and intermittent. This group of people are the "anonymous" people. The person standing in line with us at the bank - the family sitting in front of us at the movie theatre - the older gentleman in the waiting room with us. It is the anonymous that we least often think about. However, when we are open to the leading of the Spirit - those anonymous encounters become appointments orchestrated by God. Are you open to being used

There are another group of people that we often come into contact with in our lives that we usually don't give much thought to: The mailman, the grocery store clerk, the cashier at the convenience store, the pizza people, waiters and waitresses, etc. People we don't give much thought to that is, until the service they provide isn't up to our standards!

Another group of people we interact with on a day to day basis are our workmates or bosses (or schoolmates and teachers if in school). For stay at home parents our day to day interactions may include other parents or groups.
Many people don't think of these places as a "mission field" but in fact God can use you in ways you can't

My best friend gave me a picture of him and I fishing together and there's a quote on the picture that reminds me of the importance of friendship.
Friendship is a promise spoken only by the heart. It isn't given by any pledge, it isn't written on paper. But friendship is a promise that is renewed every time two friends meet and smile

In today's fast-paced world we live such busy lives that many of us really don't get a chance to cultivate relationships with our neighbors. When is the last time you ever participated in or heard of a neighborhood barbecue? Often times the closest we get to our neighbors is a nod of the head or a quick wave of the hand when
