Dear friends,
This weekend's passage is among the most difficult in scripture. Some think it's naïve, hopelessly outdated, and totally impracticable. Others think it's an invitation to a whole new way of thinking about God, about faith, about the power of God expressed on earth. I invite you to take a break from golf (or the traffic it creates!), preseason football, or the many other late-summer festivities and sit down to read this passage and consider it for yourself. We'll explore it in depth this weekend.
With just a few weeks left in our summer schedule, I also invite you to monitor various church publications carefully. We'll soon move to our four Sunday morning service format, give updates on long-term strategic plans, and launch new mission initiatives. This has been among the most busy summers I've ever had, and the coming weeks will show evidence of long hours of work by many people. I couldn't be more excited about it.
With gratitude,
Bob Henderson, senior minister
