A Motorcycle Witness

I was on my way home late one afternoon when out of the corner of my eye I saw a man ride past me on his motorcycle. My husband and I are members of the Christian Motorcycle Association (CMA), so I took more than a...

Digital Offeratories


Every week, while the offering is being taken at our local church, a special digital meditation is played.  It is an opportunity to pause for a few moments of quiet reflection.  Sometimes these "offeratories" are nature slides supported by restful music, other times they are portions of scripture or other devotional writers with a natural backdrop, again against a background of restful spiritual music.  Occasionally we feature a short soundbite of an interview which we pray will provoke reflection on the topic of the day.  We are including them on our web site so that you too can take a few moments from the business of your life and quietly consider the goodness of the wonderful God we know and love.

Because of the extremely high quality produced by the Real Player
Codec, all Digital Offeratories will be in that format as soon as we are able to make the transfer. The Real Player is available for free at: http://www.real.com   That is the format we would suggest if you plan to download one of these files.  We are also making Digital Offeratores available in Adobe Flash format for those who wish to watch these videos online.  Just click on the file, and it will open in the included Flash player.

Digital Offeratories, which are played while the offering is being taken at our church, are placed on our website for your listening pleasure.  We ask that you respect the author and the performers of the music which accompany them and not copy them for use in any public or web setting.

Staying Young

Give us this day . . .

Before I start any meal, I always say a prayer, thanking God for my food. It seems like a little thing. Some of my friends are amused by my habit. It is not a trivial activity, however brief my words. Food is one of God's...
