OUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU!! YOU ARE LOVED!!
This coming Sunday is our next Our Interim Pastor Journey Town Hall Meeting. There will be one service, the Youth leading worship on the Mission Trip in the Great Room at 10:00 am, followed by a covered dish lunch, featuring entrees, salads, and desserts from Grace’s 100th Anniversary Cookbook, A Cup of Grace and a Pinch of Time. Water, iced tea, and coffee are available.
The question for discussion is: What are Grace’s strengths and additional challenges, along with declining attendance, as we move forward in evaluating worship services, emerging ministry emphases, and staffing transitions?
Friends, nothing in your life is an accident. God has purpose for each of you. Read the benediction below (benediction, in Latin literally means, “good word”) written by the late Richard Halverson, Minister of Word and Sacrament (PCUSA), and Chaplain to the United States Senate (1981- 1994). You’ll be encouraged.
You go nowhere by accident.
Wherever you go, God is sending you.
He has a purpose in your being there.
Christ who indwells you has something he wants to do through you wherever you are.
Believe this.
And go in his grace and love and power.
Amen.
This coming Sunday is not an accident. It is purposed by God. I look forward to our time together in worship, the Town Hall Meeting, and the Luncheon in the Great Room starting at 10:00 am.
On the journey of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation with you, I remain faithfully yours,
Steve
The Rev. Dr. Steven M. Marsh
Interim Pastor
