Dear Glen Mar friends,
I was so pleased to lead our first ELC chapel of the new school year, and it was my joy to share with them that God’s book has a name, The Bible and that in it they would learn all about God’s love for them. We learned about creation, from Genesis, and as we went through the days of creation, after each thing God had made, we acted it out.
Dear Glen Mar friends,
You may have heard that the Church is the body of Christ and that we are, all of us, members of it. We are all given gifts for Christ to use through the church to build up the church and be a blessing to others. When we are using our gifts, we please the God who gave those gifts to us.
Dear Glen Mar friends,
It’s Labor Day weekend! It has me thinking about “God at work.”: “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.” (Gen. 1:31). I like picturing God in a yellow hardhat, construction plans in hand, with a ruler, a “plumb line” (see the Book of Amos), a pencil behind the Divine Ear. I see a twinkle in God’s eye, and a concentrated look, that feeling of flow, where time stops. I hear God whistling softly, sanding sharp corners and making angles true.
Dear Glen Mar friends,
This weekend we will conclude our Summer Family Worship Series, “The Journey,” and I’ll be preaching on “Oh the Places You’ll Go.” I hope you’ll join us in person (masked) or online, to receive a blessing. We’ll be praying especially for our students returning to school next week (so have backpacks at the ready, at home or in worship, with your students, so that we can bless and encourage them). Teachers, Administrators, we’ll be praying for you too!
Dear Glen Mar friends,
I hope you have been enjoying August family worship as much as I have! We will continue this week with the theme “Journeying Together.” I’m sure glad to be “on the journey” with you!
I hope you will join us next Tuesday, August 24, at 7 pm in person in the chapel or on Zoom for our monthly Ministry Connections meeting.
