Zechariah's Month

We find ourselves at an interesting place.

Despite the fact that the final month has just begun, we are still looking forward to some new additions to the staff! And with a rainy, yet funtaculous, trip to Six Flags behind us, we are taking this week to fully refocus ourselves on the Lord, that we may walk in a manner worthy of His call on our lives. Based on that brief allusion... you guessed it! We are studying Ephesians! Each day this week - Week Zero, as we have dubbed it - we have an extended quiet time devotional focusing on one chapter of Ephesians. The title "Week Zero" has several meanings, such as our zeroing in on God and His Word, our going back to extreme basics (further back than Week One... to Week Zero), and our own becoming "zero" that Christ may increase.

We've made it through four days of study, but the heart of our time still lies ahead. On Friday, we are devoting our afternoon to fully focus on God away from the distractions of work, play, and each other.

Please pray for:
- the adjustment and integration of our new staff members.
- focus and refreshment in God's Word and presence as we focus on Him this week.
