Unity
May 10th, 2008 by Micah FriesHere in St. Joseph we have a phenomenal partnership among churches of various denominational stripes. We work together in a number of areas to promote unity and enlarge the Kingdom of God. The National Day of Prayer is one such area. A few years ago it was transitioned to something we refer to as “One Church”. We have personalized it to reflect St. Joseph and year after year it continues to reflect a beautiful picture of the Body of Christ coming together to honor God and seek Him in prayer. This year proved to be no different.
The St. Joseph News-Press has written a wonderful article outlining this year’s event. If you haven’t read it yet, I’d encourage you to do so. You can read it by clicking here.
A proud brother

My little sister is now a published author. I’m pretty proud of her! Bekah works for our alma mater, The Baptist College of Florida, as an admissions counselor but has also recently authored an article about one of the employees at the college. It was published in the most recent edition of the Florida Baptist Witness.
I’m proud of you Bekah!

Presidential Announcements
May 7th, 2008 by Micah FriesSometime ago I wrote concerning my thoughts about the upcoming SBC Presidential race. Yesterday it was announced that Dr. Avery Willis’ name will be placed into nomination for SBC President. It was also announced that Dr. Johnny Hunt will be announced as well. I don’t have time to write much at this point, and I will write more at a later date, but I will briefly say this. In light of what I have previously said I was looking for in a candidate, Dr. Willis is my candidate. I am very excited to go to Indianapolis and place my vote for Dr. Willis.
Many of you may not know as much about Dr. Willis as you do Johny Hunt, or others even. I helped build a website for Dr. Willis that went online last night. I would recommend that you go to his website and begin to learn more about him. He is the type of leader we need, I’m convinced, in SBC life.

And yet again
May 6th, 2008 by Micah FriesWebdesign is something I do as a bit of an escape. Some people hunt, some like to fish, I like to play with webdesign. Whenever I need to relax and unwind a bit, I tend to find myself playing with the template for one of the websites that I help take care of. So, I have once again changed the appearance of my site. It has been said that the only thing that is constant is change. I know that holds true for my site. So, what do you think? This new design is a pretty simply one, but I think I like it.
Missional Network Gathering
May 2nd, 2008 by Micah FriesThe information regarding this year’s Missional Network Gathering was released recently. It looks like, as usual, it will feature some of the great thinkers in our convention. I’ve been at each of the events held at the annual meeting that they’ve sponsored since the Missional Network was formulated in Greensboro two years ago. I am very excited about the lineup of speakers. Kerry Shook, Brian Bloye, Daniel Floyd & Shawn Lovejoy promise to deliver. On top of all that it’s being held at Bucca de Beppo, which we have in Kansas City, and which offers stellar Italian cuisine. I’m not going to be able to be there this year as I’ll be in another meeting at the time, but if you are free I would highly recommend that you sign up to attend. The cost is minimal but space is limited so sign up quickly. To sign up or get more info, click here.
