Pastor's Periodic Pondering  
by Pastor Josh Nelson

 
 
You are getting this week's pondering a day early because we just finished creating a new, fun, stewardship video and we're eager to promote it - and yes, you read that right, I used "fun" and "stewardship" in the same sentence!  There are two big glass containers in our narthex hallway that have beans in them and in order to explain what we're up to, we made this video.  The whole idea started back at January's Annual Meeting when we used beans to explain our church budget.  So here now, a video for your consideration with thanks to my partners on staff who helped create it.

Remember, this Sunday begins our journey through Holy Week with Palm Sunday.  Let's see each other in church to walk through the Passion of our Lord.
