• Jimmy Buffett said of writing this song:  "I saw a picture of my grandfather after he had come back from a trip to Nova Scotia. He was born there but left when he was a young man and didn't return until he was 84. He was standing on dock staring at an old sailing schooner, and the look on his face told the story of where he had come from and where he had been. I have always been very proud of my heritage as a sailor and wrote this for the men who taught me the skills." 
• o   What story will the look on our face and the shape of our lives tell about where we have come from , where we have been, and where we hope to go?
  o   What skills have we taught a new generation?

• Have you tried to pass along your faith? 
  o   Have you succeeded?
  o   How have you failed?
  o   How has God worked through your efforts?
• As a congregation, how well have we told the good news to the next generation?  As we approach 20 years in ministry in this community, what must we do to continue to tell the story to new generations?  What must we change?  And what role do you play in telling the story?

See you on Sunday!
