#1 Pastors Points:
I love coffee. So much so that I purchase green coffee beans and roast them to a nice dark roast, then grind them to create a little touch of heaven. That being said, if you've seen me out and about or stopped by my office, you've most likely seen the insulated mug that I carry with me just about all the time. When I wake up, head to the gym, come to work, run errands...when I head out of my house, I usually take my 20 oz's of liquid gold with me to fuel me for what's to come.
This Sunday, we kick off a three-week sermon series that we are calling "Back to the Grind," a phrase that is associated with getting back into routines. Specifically for us, our kids are back in school, Sunday School, Youth, and Adult programming begins this week, and when that happens we settle into the "regular routines of the year." As we enter this season, we share this series to remind us all that along the way, we take God with us.
In the many beginnings, we take God with us. As we face challenges and receive joys, we take God with us. As we grow in our discipleship, work in mission and ministry, and live into whatever the next 9 months hold, we take God with us.
That being said, we invite our kids, youth, college students, teachers, school staff and administrators to bring your backpacks, messenger bags, and/or brief cases to church on Sunday. We want to share in a time of prayer and blessing for all in our schools, as we take God with us into the school year.
This is always an exciting time of year as ministries kick off and God works to shape and mold us to seek, serve, grow, and connect, as we take God with us into life!
See you Sunday!
