PASTOR'S  CORNER

  

 

Psalm 118

23This is the LORD's doing;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

24This is the day that the LORD has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.

In all of life's busyness it is easy to lose sight of the ways in which God has already blessed us. "Deadlines and commitments. What to leave in what to leave out. (And it feels like we are) running against the wind."*

What if instead of running against the wind we put up our sails and let the powerful Wind of God - Ruach Hakodesh - carry us across the stormy seas of life into safety? Put up your sails and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit!

Rejoicing in the Lord,

George

*Against the Wind, by Bohlen and Dieter

Your Congregation's Unique Mission in Evangelism

 

Ray Jones Join your colleagues around the Presbytery for a training session in evangelism and disciple making with Ray Jones, Coordinator of Evangelism for the PCUSA. He will begin the day journeying with participant's faith stories and the witness of Scripture that equips and nurtures us to move into engaging God's mission in our own communities.
