It”s March, baby! Don”t miss all the “trifectas” and “dipsy-doo dunk-a-roos” during all those “NCAA knee-knockers”! Here are two prime-time ideas for your ministry this month:

March Madness for Missions. Horizon Community Church in Highlands Ranch, Colorado (www.horizoncrc.org), offers a bracket challenge for a cause. When participants pay their sign-up fees, they write in the name of a local ministry outside of Horizon. They then fill out the designated Internet NCAA bracket in the church”s group. When the winner is announced, the local ministry selected by the bracket-challenge winner receives all the winnings as a charitable donation from the church.

Men”s Ministry March Madness Fellowship. Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in West Chester, Pennsylvania, holds a potluck event and livestreams the games on a strategic Saturday in March. The Men”s Ministry encourages guys to invite a friend, bring a snack to share, and come and go at their convenience.

We don’t just believe in this movement; we believe in you! 

New Discoveries on Medical Care for Transgender Youth

Rules of Engagement

Faced with the inevitability of conflict, how should Christians conduct themselves? What are our rules of engagement? With Scripture as our frame of reference, here are some, but certainly not all, of the rules.
