Vol 2 No 25 - Where Were We?

To be bluntly honest, there are some Sundays that I wake up and do not want to get out of bed, much less go to church. It's not that I do not like my job or being with you all - there are just some Sundays that I would rather lay in bed and watch TV, or read a book, or one of a hundred other things that can occupy one's time on Sunday morning. (Can any of you relate????) However, at these moments I have to take a good, hard look at things and remember that Sunday morning, like every morning, is not about what I want, but it is about what God is calling me to do with the day that has been so graciously given to me. More often than not, it is on those days that I find God's presence in a way that I had not expected.

Then there are Sundays that I anticipate many weeks or months ahead of time. Sundays like Christ the King Sunday, Trinity Sunday, the Sunday between Christmas and Epiphany - those are days I get very excited about the idea of being in worship (which is absolutely ridiculous when you thing about it, for we should always be excited about the opportunity to gather with the saints for worship). This Sunday is one of those times when I cannot wait, for we will be observing Heritage Sunday this week. As I mentioned in the newsletter, we will be looking at the church's true heritage. Remember, we cannot properly move on to the future unless we also remember from where we came.

See you Sunday!
