Do All The Good You Can

Appearances-to-the-contrary-notwithstanding, Spring is coming! In this particular moment the snow is coming down hard, but it will not remain this way forever. Sometimes it is helpful to remember that even when the way ahead seems dark and we don’t have a clear sense of what to do next, the dawn in coming. And in the meantime, we can take the words of John Wesley to heart. “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” There is a lot of turmoil and upheaval in our world right now. It can seem pretty overwhelming. There is more to do than we can possible accomplish alone. Which is why it is such profoundly good news that we are not alone. We have each other. And we have the eternal presence of God. We are only called to do what we can do. We are only called to attend to what is in front of us. Together we have the power and the responsibility to touch the world with God’s Love. What are you being called to do today?

Stepping Into A Bold New Future Together

Late last fall, following our Visioning Retreat, I outlined some of the prominent themes which emerged from our work together. And then, almost immediately, the holiday season was upon us and the visioning process was temporarily placed on the back burner. Now the holidays are behind us, the new year is before us, and it is time to bring the visioning work back into our awareness. In particular I want to lift up two of the goals, and invite you to give careful and prayerful consideration to the ways in which God might be calling you to get involved in implementing these goals in the life of our congregation.
