River Cities Community Church started a new ministry called Kids Helping Kids. One project this new ministry is working on is a Community Garden. Like all the Kids Helping Kids projects, the gifts of food will include a gospel component such as tracts and invitations to our worship services and special events.              The kids will help plant, cultivate, and harvest a variety of vegetables. Brief lessons will be taught from God's Word that relates to planting, sowing, watering, and the harvest to make physical connections to spiritual truths. Listen to our Community Matters Interview with Ronda Shockley: [audio mp3="https://walkfm.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/River-Cities-Community-Church-7-2-2021.mp3"][/audio]   To find out more about the garden project, visit their webpage.  ...

Faith is a foundation word for our Christian heritage. It's the catalysis grace needs for salvation (Ephesians 2:8), and without out it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Great Faith can bring healing, like the woman with the bleeding issue (Mark 5:34), and small amounts can move mountains (Matthew 17:20). Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Visible Faith beacons people to follow Christ. Our Faith, great or small, is honored by God and multiplied by His faithfulness to us. If you need a faith booster, read Hebrews 11 and see all the evidence listed on behalf of Biblical legends who were people just like you and me. Their Faith was in the very same God we serve today. He has not diminished in power nor changed in His tolerance of sin. He is faithful.   __________________________________________ Susan E. Greenwood is a wife, a mother, and...
