Wednesday Blessings,
We are Back At It! We turned the page in September and we are moving forward. But I feel that God's Spirit is moving forward and pulling is out into the world.
Last Sunday we joined thousands of ELCA churches participating in the annual God's Work Our Hand event. We worshipped with the residents of Hunterdon Care Center. Our service was enhanced with music. Kristen Massimo offered her gift of music. After the service, we gathered around the table and enjoyed ice cream together.
It was a sense of community. An opportunity to be the church by taking the church outside of the walls of Living Waters. That's what church is... people. People who love God. People who follow Christ. People who are united in love.
My sermon lifted wisdom offered by Father Gregory Boyle in his TedTalk titled, Compassion and Kinship. I invite you to find some time to listen to the stories he shared about the people he serves. But I'll tell you this. Make sure you have a tissue close by. You're going to need it.
May we seek to be one in the One who gives us life.
Journey with Living Waters as we stand up and get back at it together.
Pastor JJ
