Glorifying God with Christian Writing


 
MCC Christian Writers Group Meeting (2005)
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

 Since the late 90s, I have been blessed to be a member of Mountain Christian Church (MCC) Writers' Group, a supportive community for Christian writing. As a Christian and a writer, I embrace the blessing of collective prayer, uplifting fellowship; and skill-enhancing information received within the open community. Throughout the years of growth and development, the MCC Writers Group's leadership and members have been true to its mission. 


MCC Christian Writers Group Retreat (2005)
As a member of the MCC Writers Group, I embrace its mission… Desire to glorify God by providing a supportive community for Christian writing by: Enhancing our spiritual growth and writing skills; Encouraging one another at regular meetings that include Bible study, prayer time, motivation and skill enhancement; and Equipping Christian writers to minister using the Word and their talent to inspire others.

The MCC Writers' Group publishes a weekly blog, Portions of Grace to glorify God through devotions. For the next twelve days, the MCC Writers Group will be posting a devotion for each of the twelve (12) verses of the popular Christmas song, The Twelve Days of Christmas. I am honored to write the first day’s devotion, “A Partridge in a Pear Tree”. During my research, I discovered several unfamiliar accounts pertaining to the origin of the song. Thus a devotion with a deeper look at the first gift noted in the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas.

You are invited to read, reflect, and comment on Portions of Grace's Christmas devotional, The Twelve Days of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
