Comfort in Community

These are some rough days for the Fairfax congregation.

Among our many members who are fighting illness, we have 3 families who are in a full-fledged battle with cancer. In addition to the 3 loving spouses, there are 9 precious children in these 3 families.

My hope is that we will continue on this road of suffering with authenticity. We welcome those who cry and have unending questions. We embrace those who need a shoulder to cry on. We weep with those who weep. We pray with diligence, night & day, for healing and peace. We count every day, even every moment of life a gift, and are committed more than ever to enjoying every minute of it.

We constantly seek to bring glory to God, claiming the promise of John 11:4, "When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."

I continue to be GREATLY ENCOURAGED by my brothers & sisters who come on Wednesday nights to PRAY from 7:00 pm to 7:25 pm. There is a spirit of desperation there that is permeated completely with HOPE. Let us continue to cry out to the living God for more of Him, more of His perspective, more of His presence, more obedience to Him.

If you attend FXCC, please consider joining us on Wednesday nights for the "pre-Bible class prayer session". We have a great opportunity there to edify one another on this dark road.
