Why is it that people cannot just be satisfied with what they have?  We are on a constant quest for more and more (M&M), better and better, newer and newer. Our forefathers and ancestors seemed to be able to get along with a lot less. Marriages were stronger. Families stayed together and truly helped one another.  Communities looked out for the health, safety, and well-being of all of it's residents.

I could blame media. I could blame politics. I could blame people from other countries.  Or, I could just take responsibility for my own actions. As in voting, where every votes counts, in decision making, every decision counts. Each and every time a person makes a decision, it impacts their world and the world around them. Don't you think it might be time to "wean" back.

Let's take a look at employment.  In the pursuit of M&M, we feel no sense of loyalty to the company who fed and clothed our children, paid us enough to get our dream home, and set up an awesome pension plan.  And the company feels no sense of loyalty to make sure the decisions they make in developing their business don't put people out on the street.  Then, there is the sheer greed of it all; the "love of money." We all need it.  But, at what cost?

Several years ago a friend of mine was hired in the marketing department of a church.  At first, she was very hesitant about working in a Christian environment.  She felt as though people would be judging her every move.  Quite frankly, what she felt was true.  People did judge her every move. But, not because "church people" are more judgmental; most people are just accustomed to being judgmental.  And because the work environment is Christian, people (being judged) feel "more guilty" when their own actions and behaviors are "out of sync" with a Christian lifestyle.

Working in a Christian environment should lift up a person's spirit.  Many Christian companies have loving, giving people who care, respect, and encourage staff members and clients alike.  These organizations freely hire "non-Christians" for support staff and administration, media and production, sales and marketing, engineering and accounting, as well as many other positions. 

As a Christian, we are to take God's Word seriously when he says "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." ( Romans 12:2).  People, especially in Christian work environments, who continue to say things that are judgmental, give all Christians "a bad reputation."

God promises never to leave or forsake us.  But, how many people are actually listening to His call.  Well, at least three families have answered God's call to worship.  After 18 months of meeting in Bible studies, the families of Steve Ebersole, Andy Green and Bob Green felt led to start a more public community style meeting.  So, beginning in April 2007, starting with 19 people, St. Helena Community Church was birthed.  

The people of St. Helena Community Church are not new to Christianity.  They are faithful servants of the Gospel from various denominations.  Both Ebersole and Ron Wicker were raised in the Catholic church, but both sought something more in their worship experience.  With a hunger and thirst for the Word of God, they left Catholicism.  Wicker did a short stint with the Methodist church and still found no fulfillment.  Finally in 2008, totally committed to finding out "what saith the Lord,"  Wicker left the Methodist church to join Ebersole in, St. Helena community Church. 

St. Helena Community Church is bible-based.  Members believe that Jesus Christ is the foundation and cornerstone of the church. Services include singing, corporate prayer and Bible studies that illustrate the everyday application of scriptures. As a Calvary Chapel affiliated church, St. Helena's Community Church is an outreach of the Cornerstone Ministries in Napa.  They are currently seeking a pastor to serve in a part-time capacity.
