Come to the Party
It was short, but it was a party. There were people (Amberly, Darleen, and Dolores) and we share great refreshments (Starbucks coffee and breakfast roles from Some Crust Bakery in Claremont). In the middle of the party, work was done--bulletins were folded and stuffed.
Earlier this week, others came to the party (Thank you Diane, Linda, Olivia, and the Wednesday set-up and clean-up teams) and joy was shared by all.
I can't help but be filled with hope for our congregation. This is were it all starts...the celebration which is the church of Jesus Christ--with people coming forward and doing the day-to-day work of the church. It may look like a newsletter or a church bulletin, a meeting, or set of tables and chairs; It may smell like soup or printer toner or Starbuck's coffee---but it's the party of ministry, the celebration of faith and I give thanks for a community that works and celebrates together. Come to the party....and invite a friend! That is, after all, what we have been called here to do,
Blessings,
Pastor Roger
