Matthew's Message for January 18, 2024

There are days that I feel like I have had enough change. Enough of changes that come in a post-Christian culture. Changes to our world since COVID. Even changes in our local churches as we step outside of one building and into another. Can’t things just slow down a little? 

I think that we all know that the answer is not that simplistic. Change is inevitable. Especially as our world continues shifting. I wonder how we can build a church that is more adaptable to the changes that are beyond the horizon today.

This week we continue our series, “Bread, Bath and Beyond,” by examining God’s call to go beyond the horizon. In some ways the horizon calls to us to explore. In other ways the horizon offers us a place that we can never reach. Sounds a lot like moving onward to perfection if you ask me.

This week we also gather for a quarterly town hall. It is your chance to ask questions of our leadership and to hear updates on all that we are engaged in. There is a lot going on. I hope you can be there to be a part of the conversation.

Peace,

Matthew
