Wednesday Blessings, Last Sunday in worship we heard the story of Jesus sending seventy-two followers out into the world saying, "8 Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you; 9 cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’" After the service, Sisi, Kari and myself visited the residents at Hunterdon Care Center and brought the kingdom of heaven to them. This was the first time the Kari had the opportunity to worship with "Living Waters North." Afterwards she shared, "In the midst of heavy times, the ladies at the service at HCC warmed my heart. This did my heart good." The idea of caring for our neighbor and sharing the good news of Jesus continues this Sunday. In our country where people seem to think that power is gained by dividing people and making them feel 'less than' we will hear what Jesus calls us to do. Those with ears, come and hear! Those with hearts of compassion, go and serve. Grace and peace, Pastor JJ |
