Paul is going to be speaking on receiving a Spiritual Stimulus Package. The four main parts of the stimulus package are:
1. Being Centered in Christ
2. Putting prayer first and then going out into ministry.
3. Having self-control and purpose to our lives.
4. Hope continues: Light out of the darkness. There is hope!
We are going to use this next blog to add comments to the idea that we had at creative arts team meeting.
We are going to use the idea of a large gift box (package) and it is going to be delivered to different people each week and then they will read a letter that is attached each time. Christy Garau is going to start with ideas for the letters and dialogue and then we all need to help and chip in.
Get it going people!! :)

So there will be a person who really "gets it" about being centered on God...they wear all the Jesus Garb from head to toe, are involved in lots of activities at church, always talking about how God is their authority and the center of everything they do...and they really mean it! the only thing is, they don't really reach out to others, especially outside of the church. they are so focused on being centered on God, that they have mistakenly believed they need to be constantly in the presence of other believers doing stuff centered on God. they find themesleves at the church all the time, talking to their co-workers and family about church all the time, and not really aware of what is happening in the world outside of their church b/c that is where they are all the time.
these are my ramblings and ideas so far, I will put dialogue to them soon.
Let's keep the image as simple as possible. The package for each week needs to contain one main point. Week #1 it is that there is one God. And that we should not be distracted by other "things" that become our Gods. We need a lot of things in our lives to exist, but we first of all need to be centered on God. "There is one God,from whom are all things, and from whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ,through whom are all things and through whom we exist." 1 Cor. 8:6.
