Faith in Action weekend was a true blessing. The impact our church made is astounding. You prepared enough meals to feed 100's of people for a year. You entered into homes and brought hope. You partnered with others to enhance their work in parks, animal shelters and care centers. Your impact would total just under $50,000 of work. 1000's of hours of service accumlated through the weekend. What a joy.
This evening we capped the weekend with a worship service at Park Hill South. The music from the youth band, Wesleyan Choir and Praise Team inspired everyone.
Pastor Angie brought a message of hope, encouragement and inspiration.
As I took it all in my thought was "I am so privileged to be your pastor!" What a joy.
Part of the service was a time to reflect on 9-11.
We remember those whose lives were taken that fateful day.
We remember and give thanks for those who sacrificed their lives to help others.
We reflect on how the events of that tuesday morning changed our world and our lives.
We celebrate our response to the events of 9-11. Rather than return hate for hate we choose to serve others as a reflection of our love for Christ.
Rather than plot revenge we put our trust and hope in God.
Rather than yield to fear we take our place as people of faith.
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
