Dandelions–in Fall
I love to walk with Hazard. We are good for each other. We are in the waning days of autumn. We loop through Patriot Park in Riverview every day or two. Last week on the edge of the wood I noticed there were dandelions growing in the grass as if it were spring. I’ve never seen dandelions growing in the fall before. 
Please forgive the pitiful quality of the photos.
Sunday Morning
Here are some thoughtful ideas from Mark Dever about how to be on the ministry team on Sunday morning. This is a link to Tim Challies’ site.
Church attendance is not a spectator sport where you rate the performance of the principle actors. It is corporate worship. It is the church gathered in the name of Jesus and in the presence of God. God is watching and He is evaluating our hearts when we worship. He knows if we are giving Him lip service. This might be something you want to read prayerfully in preparation for the Lord’s Day.
Before the Service
Read the passage in advance
Pray for the gathering
Greet newcomers (act like you are the host)
Think strategically about who you should sit with
Arrive Early
During the Service
Sing with gusto (even if you can’t sing)
Help with logistics (if there’s a problem, help fix it)
Don’t be distracted
Listen carefully
Be aware of your facial expressions (you may affect others and discourage preachers)
After the Service
Connect newcomers with others
Get newcomers information
Start a conversation about the sermon
Ask someone how they became a Christian
Stay late
