Last Friday, the members of our Red Bird Mission team returned from their trip to Beverly, Kentucky. In the 7 days that they were gone much was accomplished: 2 houses received new roofs, a house was painted and received a new stoop, another home received a wheelchair ramp, new gutters, and a remodeled bathroom, and nearly 3 faculty apartments were prepared to receive new tenants in the fall. Not bad for a group of 42 amateurs from PA, NY, & NJ ranging in age from 13 to 70+! The work that we did wasn’t just about the tasks that were completed, though. Lives were changed. People’s sense of dignity were changed. People’s awareness of God’s presence was increased. People’s connection to others on the Way were made closer. All because individuals who were rooted and grounded in the love of Christ came together and committed themselves to doing the work of God in the world. This Sunday we will continue our journey through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. In his words to his followers, Paul encourages them to live a life worthy of the calling to which they’ve been called. What does that live look like to you? As we consider Paul’s words, we will hear from our missionaries about their adventure and learn what it means to them to live in a community of people who are dedicated to worshipping God and serving in the name of Jesus the Christ. In their stories, we may just find inspiration for what it means to be the Body of Christ living in our community today. Set some time aside to join us for worship this week as we come before the Lord with praise in our hearts and hear St. Paul’s call to Live a Life Worthy. You can join us live in our sanctuary or online on Sunday at 10 a.m., or stream our worship service at the time that works best for you. |
