On Sunday night, we spent time in small groups of 3-4 praying for one another. If you were at TILT, continue to lift the people in your group up in prayer. If you feel comfortable, please post the prayer requests you had so that more people from within the community can journey with you in prayer!! Post here.
We also learned on Sunday night that Rick Wukasch is leaving Spring Garden Church for another opportunity as a pastor with the Meeting House. Pray for him as he makes this transition. We will miss him!
Please pray for discernment as we seek people for the community connections trip to Moose Deer Point Reserve to run a kids' day camp. Our heart is that this be the beginning of a long-term relationship, but we want to make sure this is God's desire and not just ours! If you want more info, go here.
Of course, there are always things happening around our city and our world which we have the privilege of praying for with God. The looming renewed Cold War comes to mind. Please post anything else! Are there things at your places of work for which we can pray? Relationships? Government?

Henri Nouwen once wrote: Nothing conflicts with the love of Christ like service to Christ. In passionately focusing on service, it is easy to forget that the root of that service is love of Christ. Eventually serving Christ can actually usurp any notion of a loving relationship with Christ.
All this to say, first, continually keep the leadership of Spring Garden in prayer!! For me personally, I have put off implementing both Sabbath and spiritual discipline in my life long enough. I have committed to a Sabbath from 6:30 Sunday evening (corporate worship is an important part of Sabbath) to 6:30 Monday evening. Please hold me accountable!
Hello friends. Sunday night we also prayed about the Monday night meeting for the neighbours of Spring Garden to give input about our proposed building plans. According to Gene, although there were people who were concerned about a church who wants to be a "community centre" as it will "increase traffic" and "lower property value", it was a good opportunity to listen to the community and to begin developing relationships with them. So praise God! Please continue to pray for continued relationship building with our friends across the street!
Hey Scott, (and anyone else who is interested) I was listening to one of my favourite podcsts yesterday, and the pastor offered a very balanced view of sabbath, great sermon. bccsharelife.org/podcast/css.php
Thanks Jay! I'll have to check it out. I still harken back to Greg's sermon during our Reconstructing the Call series too...http://tiltteaching.blogspot.com/2007/01/sabbath-way-of-life.html
