I have said often that I love our section*. Today we met for prayer and had 17 ministers there. It is so encouraging to pray together. We pray specifically for church wide needs. For instance, we pray for Twin Rivers Church because they need a place to meet, but we don't pray for sister Bertha who broke her hearing aid. Does that make sense? Our Presbyter, Don Cox, does a good job of leading that prayer time, and I really feel that the pastors are growing in connection to each other. We're learning that none of us is at this alone. I also like that it is only what it is. (That's a profound statement. :-) What I mean is, it is only prayer. Sometimes we have meetings where we never know what it's going to be (business, prayer, church service). These meetings are specifically for prayer and that's all we do. I like that. It was a good trip to Owings Mills this morning.

* A "Section" is the term used to describe a portion of our area that is designated for oversight of churches. In the Assemblies of God we are broken into geographic areas that create manageable presbytery oversight. These "Districts" are broken up into sections. Mine is the Eastern Section.
