If you have an urge to play a prank or pull a fast one on any one of our church members, let us be clear, Louvina Joseph will be one of the last people you'll want to attempt it with. First, Louvina is a no nonsense type of person. Second, it's pretty clear you wouldn't be able to catch her even if you tried. Third, she let slip during this interview that she is, on top of everything else, a kickboxing instructor.
Louvina Joseph carries many titles within Sligo Church. She is an Elder, a greeter, a member of the Health Action Committee and she is the Chair of the Hospitality Committee. Her commitment to caring for people is a clear bell rung like the dinner bells of yesteryear.
In her 15 plus years at Sligo Church, Louvina has made it her passion to help as many people as possible. She says, "I love to help!" By being a part of the Hospitality Team, she is able to apply her love of caring for people and have a hand in feeding people, both physically and spiritually as they sit down to meals together.
Louvina has a passion for the health message. "God has given us this great and marvelous machine called the body and we have to care for it." She says. "I try to eat as close to nature as possible and I move a lot." Louvina has taught fitness classes at the church for years now and continues to be passionate about helping to get others in shape. She says, "My greatest wealth is my health".
Louvina works as a health coach, where she believes in educating people about healthful eating, lifestyle choices and taking good intentions and putting them into practice. She says, "I love the thought that I can make someone's day better."
"No one cares what you believe until they believe you care," she says as she thinks of ways in which she can communicate her goals to her Hospitality Team. "I tell them to serve with love and build community by sharing their faith and love." She wants to make sure each of our guests feels valued.
Louvina, you are a clear example of a Christian in action. We applaud your leadership and your passion for loving and caring for our members and guests. We pray your ministry will continue to lift Jesus up and nourish the hearts, minds and bodies of all those in your presence.

The Secret to Intimacy

*Readers discretion is advised*
Last week, our Sligo Young Adult Ministry held a Bible study on relationships and marriage. With twenty-six years of marriage, they graciously invited my husband and me to be presenters. We shared our love story from a much simpler time.

BRACELET - One minute devotional
My son bought me this special bracelet with his birthday money a couple of weeks ago, in the hopes of getting another one that matched. The cool thing is that it helps remind me of him, and to pray for him.
The Bible reminds us to pray for others as well. Is there something you have that can remind you to pray for someone?
