Matthew's Message for October 19

“This is God’s table, it’s not yours or mine. Come to the table…” These were the words that we sang as we gathered for Communion during worship in September. It helped to remind me that the table that we set is one that we are always seeking to extend. Whether it is opening a seat for a long absent friend or for a new face, the tables that we host are meant for more than those who are already here. Our purpose is always looking out for ways to care for those around us. 

This Sunday we will be lead in worship by our district superintendent Brittany Isaac. Our worship service will be our annual meeting where we will celebrate what God has been doing in our midst, and vote on the plans that have been made for 2024. It will be a time for us to remember that God calls us to be people who gather around a table. A table that is not yours or mine. A table of love, peace, grace, and joy. I hope you can join us.

Peace,

Matthew
