It’s in the air
November 20, 2006
Can you feel
it? That growing sense of panic that there’s no way
you can get everything done before Christmas? Yes,
it’s a common affliction this time of year. That’s
why Pastor Kenton’s pre-Thanksgiving message was
much-needed dose of “Slow down there, mister.”
Kenton reminded us that if we’re not careful, our God-given hopes and dreams become expectations – of the Veruca Salt variety. And that’s when we lose the sense of thankfulness and contentment that is so important, especially in this mall-crazed, buy-now-pay-later season. Saying “thank you” to God for what he has given us (our health, family, home, etc.) reminds us that God is the giver of all good things.
This weekend was also pivotal in our Generations campaign. Kenton asked us to commit to a 36-month adventure together, through prayer or giving to Generations, and indicate our commitment on a card turned in at the end of the service. Stay tuned for updates on this important new phase in the life of our church…
