Saturday escaped me, but the Six-Pack is rolling out before this weekend passes me by, all the same!
The best ministry-minded or faith-focused articles I could find this week? Here they are, with some grace space for a bit of who-knows-what.
If six options stuns you, start with my two *Picks of the Week*, and pick up steam from there.
For a steady stream of such links, follow me on Twitter ( @JasonBandura ) to the right of this post. Sharp quotes and solid articles are tweeted 3-4 times daily.
