A Joyous Gathering

The Horsemanship Volunteer Impact Dinner last month was a joyous gathering. With 70 in attendance, this event celebrated the faithful generosity, hard work, skills, and gifts of those who selflessly give of their time and energy down at the Barn. The night was filled with light-hearted laughter and heartfelt stories, reflecting the spiritual impact the program has on those involved.

While the close-knit community connected over dinner, those in attendance learned how truly significant their contributions are. Mary-Grace Wallace, Horsemanship Donor Relations Coordinator, said, “When I am rushing down to the barn, for Pony Club with my daughter or for a meeting, the happiest people I see are working hard for a purpose and mission they believe in.”

When individuals feel valued and are welcomed into an environment where God is on the move, it is evident! In 2024 alone, Horsemanship averaged 66 volunteers who worked a total of 6,362 hours for a financial impact of $213,063!

What a blessing it was to celebrate Horsemanship Volunteers and hear how God has moved in their lives since becoming involved with the ministry. Warm Beach Horsemanship is truly grateful for every volunteer who lends their time and expertise! Thank you!

Provision for the Humble

“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.” Matthew 5:5 NLT What comes to the humble is incredible. Reflection I have come to love the word humble. I love it for what it doesn’t mean: Proud, self-seeking, scheming, pushy, demanding, looking out for #1, status focused, and the insistence of being the brightest and best in the room. Honestly, it is exhausting to live and work with people where humility is not present. By contrast, ...
