MONDAY KICKSTART 6-8-26
A FIRE FINALE
This year I was privileged to be able to revisit my youth ministry routes at Cornerstone. The youth group needed a worship leader and so I came out of retirement and got to hang with this great group of kids all year.
We started in the fall with a bonfire and we ushered in the summer season with a bon fire. as well. While the teen group meets all through the summer, this last Tuesday was the final meeting for the boys group and girls group until school starts again in the fall.
Commander James Bauver giving a lesson on fire safety to the boys group.
Lighting the fire.
And so it begins!
Pastor Amanda addresses the troops.
The troops.
More troops.
More troops.
And More.
It was a great ending and summer launch all at the same time.

THOUGHTS I HEARD AT CONFERENCE PT. 2
At the recent Annual Network Conference for the SPoiuthern New England Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God I heard these comments on unity from Sara Malcolm.
UNITY IS A LONG DRAWN OUT PROCESS.
UNITY HAPPENS AT THE INTERSECTION OF HONESTY AND HONOR.
PRIDE IS SELF OBSESSION. HUMILITY IS NOT THINKING LESS OF YOURSELF, BUT THINKING OF YOURSELF LESS.
UNITY REQUIRES US TO REALIZE WE DON’T HAVE THE FULL STORY.
UNITY REQUIRES CLARITY.
DISCIPLE THE FAITHFUL. PASTOR THE UNFAITHFUL.

THOUGHTS I HEARD AT CONFERENCE PT. 1
I recently attended the Annual Network Conference for the Assemblies of God. Here are some things I heard there and have been contemplating.
THE FATHER SENT THE SON. THE SON SENT THE SPIRIT. THE SPIRIT SENDS US TO COMPLETE THE MISSION.
FIRE AND FAITH ARE INTIMATELY CONNECTED THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE.
THE POWER OF FAITH RIDES UPON THE SUFFERING OF THE BELIEVER.RESURRECTION IS RELEASED THROUGH SUFFERING AND DEATH.
STAND AND KEEP WALKING IN THE FIRE. LOOK FOR THE FOURTH MAN IN THE FIRE AND FOLLOW HIM WHERE HE LEADS.
SCENES FROM THE ROAD
Brenda is on a road trip across America, meeting artists and building relationships for future Bridge Artists work. She is also catching up with her longtime friend Adriane Bennett as they travel together. Here are some pictures from the road.
The trip is into its second week. She will be gone until June 12 so there are many miles left to cover. She has had some incredible experiences. Has met with artists in New Mexico, Arizona and California. She met a man connected with Focus on the Family who learned about her ministry. He is connecting her with some new ministry and artist connections and she was able to attend the celebration of life for one of her longtime mentors in California.
