Luke
14:14-24
“…‘Blessed
is anyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!’”
Covenant again
practiced setting up at Timber Creek Elementary in anticipation of our move
there on November 3, 2013 10 am.
We had a sermon, Communion, kid's ministries and child care, fellowship over drinks and cookies and another wonderful concert of live music.
And the sermon brought
home how important it is to invite people to Church. Naturally, humans look forward to the
invitations of celebrations like birthdays and weddings. The discussions of how many to invite, whom
to invite and when to celebrate are all topics we like to consider. Sometimes the decisions are easy, and many
times there are strict limitations.
I do observe that sad
occasions are not eagerly anticipated. We do not eagerly await funerals, but
even those do not require an invitation to commemorate a blessed life.
But why not invite
others to join us at Covenant?
Not just in celebration
of our move to Timber Creek.
We should
invite others to come because it is Church.
Because there is peace awaiting.
Because there is renewal, the repeated promise of life after life.
Come for the
friendship, the learning, the live concert, and the community connected in
Christ.
I
am, a Renewed Christian
