Pastor's Ponderings

August, 2008

God is speaking to us.... Are you listening?  How will you respond?

God usually speaks to us in mysterious ways.  Sometimes in very concrete tangible ways. Perhaps one of the opportunities we have to hear God talking is when we find our lives in places where the faith community is interacting.  God speaks to us through worship, our neighbor and sometimes our actions toward the world. 

Do you realize that we worship every day as we live the Christian lifestyle and informally and formally make our spiritual responses to God by how we make choices in our lives.  Worship is a choice and a response, a constant response of the Christian to God.  Sunday is a time when we gather together in faith.  When you are not in worship, you are missed by God and by your faith neighbor.  We meet togheter in order to do worship, not merely to observe.  We are all participants and our worship celebration is greatly enhanced when we are in community.  

The spirit we take from Worship is an energy that can fill our days of the week.  How do you participate with God Monday through Saturday? 

All we do flows from worship.  On Saturday, August 9th, from 9:00am to 2:00pm , you have an opportunity to participate, learn, build community here at BSLC by attending the congregational workshop designed to increase our communication as a church in mission, build fun and fellowship with others who worship here and to commit to responding to God in new ways over the next year.  Pray about coming to this community interactive learning experience. 

God is speaking to us, will you answer God's call?

See you in worship.
