The Decatur Ministerial Association will join in the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 1st. Community-wide services are held on the Courthouse Lawn beginning at noon Please join with our friends and neighbors at this time of prayer.

​

For the next several weeks we will study a series of lessons on the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation contains some of the most cryptic language and most fanciful imagery in the entire Bible. It has been used to try to forecast the events of the end times, as well as to call hopeless Christians to fortitude and endurance. Its lectionary placement in the season of Easter is notable, as it draws us to another contemporary application of this book: as a guide to experiencing the resurrected life. John’s vision allows us to see the world, the church, and the Christian life in the way God envisions it: not for how it is, but for how it can be. And each week, through the power of the one who makes all things new, we are called to make those possibilities a resurrection reality.
