SWAPS:
Soaring Words & Passalongs

Started January 2000 as SWAPS e-mails.  In January 2001, thanks to Geocities, this began as a free web site to highlight some exciting "church" class CONCEPTS.

IT'S OKAY TO BE EXCITED.
Boredom is self-inflicted.  It's unproductive, unhealthy, and unnecessary for us to remain bored.

LOVE YOUR CHURCH.
It's true that a church is anywhere two-or-more are gathered.  But love (loyalty) to a traditional church family is important, too.

TIRED?  REST.  (Schedule It.)

Regularly rest in God to be ready for action.  (Isaiah 40:31)

BE QUICK TO LISTEN.
Slow to Speak.  Slow To Anger.
                          (James 1:19-20)

ENJOY WORK-CHURCH-PLAY

Wisely balance your energy with Christ-like service of your whole community.  Always offer Christian wisdom and hope.

WELCOME THE UNCHURCHED

Be familiar with other churches.  Invite others to discover (or even re-discover) a church family.

OFFER PRAYER.

We all have stormy days.  Consider Christ, commanding the storm, "Peace.  Be still."      (Matthew 8:26)
