What's Your Ebenezer Story?
In his sermon on Sunday, June 9, Fr. Doug Zimmerman encouraged the congregation to share their "Ebenezer Moments" with each other. What works is God doing in your life right now that you think He is calling you to reveal?
Literally speaking, an Ebenezer is a "stone of help," or a reminder of  God's real, holy presence and divine aid. An Ebenezer stands in witness of what God has done or is doing. Where do you see God's presence and help? Don't neglect the "little nudges" or the obvious action of the Lord - keep watch and then share - bear witness to what God is doing here in the life of St. John's. If God is "Almighty and Everliving" (and yes, He is!), we can expect to encounter Him in each and any moment. He may speak to you through the Bible, the Sacraments, a friend or stranger; perhaps in your time of trouble or of celebration. God's real presence and God's assistance are opportunities for us to raise our own "Ebenezers."
What was your Ebenezer moment this week? Email them to parish@stjohnstampa.org.
