"Faith: Not an Armchair Support"

Dear Church~

School is about to begin again. Multiple fall sports activities will begin for real very soon. Many of the athletes have already been in active training for weeks.

Faith formation classes for all ages are also beginning in the next few weeks. Time to start training: listening, learning; exercising, practicing; nurturing the faith that was given to you at your baptism. This is a whole person, full life engagement process.

When God saw that Moses took the time to stop and look at what was going on around him, God used that occasion to challenge him to get involved in what God was doing. But Moses didn't say yes right away.

See you in church!

~Pastor Lamont Koerner
