Hello Everyone!! Quick Reminder: Mark your calendars for Laborer's Sunday!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  We're jumping right back in our series about being.... This past Sunday, Elder Arlene contributed to this valuable sermon series that's teaching us about how valuable we are. Crazy thing is that we aren't valuable because of some amazing thing we've done or said or because we've lived such perfect lives. We're valuable simply because we were created and belong to God. When you make a masterpiece, you tend to value it, especially if you see it as being very good. Same with God. He values us because we are His masterpiece; we just have to commit to seeing ourselves as He does. "When you know you're worth, you won't buy into anything." She discussed many things as it relates to value, but the overarching topic,...

Hi WOPCC Family & Friends!! I hope you all are having a great week thus far! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This past Sunday, our Pastor gave us  Value Part 2 . Quick recap of the statement scriptures (check out last week’s blog for the statements that go with the scriptures) Genesis 1:27 Jeremiah 29:11 Romans 5:8 1 Peter 1:18-19 2 Corinthians 5:17 Jeremiah 30:17 We are obviously valuable to Him. Pastor reiterated how the meaning of Value is the regard that something is held to deserve. So, what are we showing that God deserves? If our lives were put on mute, what would the onlookers assume about us based on what they've seen? What do your receipts look like? Hint Hint: it should shout Jesus Lover/Christian If it doesn’t then that warrants an examination of our lives to determine what is sitting higher than G...

All that to say... 5.....4....3...2..1 📣 The year isn't over yet!  📣  Don't check out yet! 📣  Make the last 5 count! 📣 We are approaching the final quarter, and that's when games are won! If you weren't able to get it done over the last 7 months, begin now. Your year isn't over yet!  Don't calculate how He's...

Hello Family!! I hope you all are intentionally and consciously allowing your capacity to increase as we go through this series!! There's a difference between being intentional and being conscious of your capacity and simply enlarging your capacity just for the heck of it or to say you have more room on your plate for whatever. Why, you ask? Because it's just that, you'll be allowing whatever to take the space you've freed up. However, when you're mindful of what you're allowing in, you'll be more selective of what can come in and what cannot come in.   It was also a pleasure having Cyrus Speaks come and share some of his poetry with us. If you all weren't able to get his social media information, it's @Cyrusspeaks, and here's the link to his  Youtube  page if anyone wanted to take a look. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Capacity Par...
