Happy Siblings Day
I know. The Greeting Card industry needs another opportune moment like I need another Jack-Russell-Britney-Spaniel-mix terrier (Don't laugh. If you ?knew?, why didn't you tell me 8 years ago?)
But, alas, today has been dubbed National Siblings Day. And because my brothers are, ?by far?, two of the best things that have ever happened to me and because I'm so smitten with spiritual imagery around brotherhood, I'll play along.
Happy Sibling Day, David and John. And all the other siblings by marriage (Melissa, Jill, Kari, Kelli, Connor, Thad and Brian) this world has brought my way. To you and the many solid, gracious people who live like siblings to me, even if they aren't genetically related, life is ?definitely? better lived alongside you.

Community Stations: An Idea for Focusing on the People Who Share Your Community
One way you could do this?
A few times a year, create "community stations" in your sanctuary using tables displaying items like local newspapers, city phone books, photos, directories of school staff or city personnel, calendars and so forth?. Then, during the service, invite people to these stations and ask them to spend a few minutes reflecting on or praying for the people and groups represented by the information.
