# Striplin Terrace Connecting people with Jesus Christ - Site: https://striplinterrace.com/ ## Missy’s Corner – October 18, 2026 - Link: https://striplinterrace.com/missys-corner-october-18-2026/ - Published: 2026-10-20T19:08:52-04:00 - Author: stumcworship When we take time to praise God for the things He has done for us and given to us, God’s power changes our lives. The storm clouds of life in all their many forms that have a tendency to block out the sunshine of the love of God, give Him praise and glory anyway. When doubt threatens to draw our attention away from our faith in God’s goodness, let’s turn our gaze to Jesus. When life is rocking us, and we feel seasick, it is important to offer praise and thanksgiving to God from the depths of our hearts. It may feel like God is not giving us anything to praise Him for, but He is greater than any problem we face. Focusing on God’s character will help us rise above all destructive influences in our lives. Praise Him in all things, and we will see the strength He gives us to persevere. Focus on the good of God. Stop trying to fix it yourself and fix your eyes on God. When we focus on God and how good God is, all bad things disappear. In His Grasp, Pastor Missy. ## October 18, 2026 - Link: https://striplinterrace.com/october-18-2026/ - Published: 2026-10-18T19:03:07-04:00 - Author: stumcworship Good morning and welcome to worship on this brisk Fall morning. ## Missy’s Corner – October 11, 2026 - Link: https://striplinterrace.com/missys-corner-october-11-2026/ - Published: 2026-10-11T19:37:08-04:00 - Author: stumcworship My friends, we have lost two church members to death in as many weeks. We prayed for Betty Johnson and Graham Anthony each week and they went to glory. I held services for Betty on the 29th of September, and charter member Graham died September 30th in Lake City, FL. One of our greatest strengths as a church family at Striplin Terrace is our love for one another. I know you will hold these families in your prayers. We are a people of hope: in the truth of resurrection, in being reunited with those in the faith who have gone before us and the hope that being a Christ-believer brings to us while we are here. We give God thanks that Jesus conquered sin, death and hell when he rose again to new life. We give God thanks that we will one day see Jesus face-to-face and those who we miss one fine day.

We leave our arguments from the morning about getting here on time, we let go of the grudges we hold and the misgivings we have and enter a place of mutual vulnerability and trust, the place where we are equally loved, valued and respected. This is a moment when a vulnerable God invites a vulnerable people to share a peaceful meal. Breaking bread bans fear and we are closer to God. As we gather at the Table of Christ today, we enter a moment of renewal and reconciliation through the remembrance of the Lord’s Last Supper. As Jesus meets us here to refresh us to do his work in the world.

I will carefully attend to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall leave me; I will know no evil.” Proverbs 20:19-“One who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with a gossip.” Sometimes, we forget that even saying something we consider good news about someone else without their permission can be unappreciated by that person. One guard against saying something we shouldn’t say, is to remember that it is solely their story to tell. If they give us permission, it is not gossip or revealing something they would not rather have others talking about. When we are in a place where confidentiality is expected, then we can speak about the needs of those who have given us permission to do so for their prayer requests. Then we are edifying that person because they know that prayers are being lifted up on their behalf, but that only what they have given permission for is spoken. We must take our responsibility to speak on behalf of others seriously. We would expect the same consideration for ourselves. When we gather to pray in Prayer Matters or in worship, it is a godly responsibility to be accountable for what we reveal about the lives of others.
