AMAZING GRACE!



On July 13th, I was contacted by a group who were gathering Sunday mornings (for just a few weeks) to see if I might be available to speak at their times of worship. A number of circumstances and my seeking God made clear I should accept and I began July 27th. After a few more weeks, the decision was made to name this new church plant and after a process of accepting suggestions, the choice was made to call the church "AMAZING GRACE FELLOWSHIP".

The worship gatherings have all been at participants homes and good weather has allowed for us to be outdoors. We've been to Ashland, Rumney and Bristol so far and on this coming Sunday, we plan to be at a local state park on Newfound Lake. See the website for info: www.geocities.com/agfnh@ymail.com (this is a temporary site until we get our domain name).

See the Amazing Grace blog called "Being the Church" at this address: http://agfnh.blogspot.com/. I've posted the 2 previous posts on this blog but will be updating the AGF sites with new posts soon.

Note also that Sunday Connection is gathering with Amazing Grace this week. It starts at 10AM at Wellington State Park at Newfound Lake in Bristol.

A Prayer for Christmas Eve

O God our Father, you have brought us again to the glad season .....when we celebrate the birth of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Grant that his Spirit may be born anew in our hearts this day .....and that we may joyfully welcome him to reign over us. Open our ears that we may hear again the angelic chorus of old. Open our lips that we, too, may sing with uplifted hearts. Glory to God in the highest, .....and on earth, peace, goodwill toward all; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The United Methodist Book of Worship, no. 276.

MMB 7/29/24 - Callous

Morality in America is going the way of the countries of the world. We've been on this downward slope for a while. It has even sucked into its grasp some believers of the truth of Christ. As a pastor, I began to see this slope toward unrighteousness in the church around 2005. I was in New Hampshire and most people I encountered (including the churched and unchurched) had strong family and character morals. But slowly the demise began. My State at that time was on the lowest tier of the listing of states that had the lowest church attendees. Being a church attender doesn't make you moral. Being a devoted Christ follower in most cases does that. And morality finds itself in various stages.  What people witnessed on the Friday night telecast of the Olympian summer games opening ceremonies had some evidences of this moral decline. Some will see my words as being judgemental. I don't mean to be. I'm just stating what is allowed in 2024 were totally rejected more than 20 year...

MMB Monday Morning Blog 8-26-24 Seasons

There are four season in the year. In Florida, where I currently live, the season are here too but not like in New Hampshire where I'm from. Florida has HEAT. I remember visiting my parents back in the 90s at their winter home in Wachula around Thanksgiving. We already had snow before our drive south. As we hit Virginia and North Carolina it was apparent we were no longer in the frozen tundra. My parent's mobile home had two bedrooms. It wasn't big enough for us and our two sons. They did, however, have a pop-up trailer under the carport, so it was fine. To stay in a pop-up in Northern New England in late November mas near impossible. You would begin to shiver in about 5 minutes. Nights would reach a low of 0°-20°F. But not so in Florida. After a great Thanksgiving feast we went shopping at the local Walmart. They no longer stay open on Thanksgiving. As I walked into the store I was hit with culture shock. The store was in festive colors and lighting for Christmas but one t...
