Hello
Emmanuel,
Before
I forget to type this: March 20th
will have only one worship service:
10:00. There will be water
flying, banners waving and people committing to Jesus. Car pool if you can. Extra parking will be at the airport with a
shuttle going back and forth. You don’t
want to miss it!
No
matter what your week will be like, Sunday is coming.
Sometimes
you have weeks filled with conversations you would just rather not have. Perhaps the conversations are important, necessary
and even beneficial, but not all conversations are pleasant. There are times when unpleasant conversations
are unexpected, which makes it more difficult to cope with the week. Other times they are planned, leaving time to
have angst over what might and might not be said. Either way….
Sunday
is coming.
I
have a list on my phone that I will look at frequently the next 6 days. It is a list of all who will be getting
baptized and/or joining the church. Next
Sunday is one of those days that will remind me why I have conversations. It will teach me yet again why God’s Call on
my life is irrevocable. We will watch
faith being expressed in authentic and heart-felt ways. Souls are going to share their commitment to
Christ with all of Emmanuel. Many of you
will have a moment of joy (and some of you will shed happy tears…. You and I know
who you are).
Sunday
is coming.
It
will be a full parking lot, a full church, and a full time together. I invite you, encourage you to attend. Yes, we will be squished together, but it
will be a day when you, too, will be reminded why you have conversations and
that God’s Call on your life is also irrevocable.
Sunday
is coming……. And it will be a wet one…
God
is Good,
Pastor
Joe
