Dear Friends,
Today as I entered Mercy Hospital to make a visit one of the young men working as a valet and I said hello to each other I walked by. This friendly fellow, without knowing anything about what I do for a living then asked me if I wanted to trade jobs with him.
I responded, “I am a pastor and if you will do six sermons I will trade.”
“You’re a pastor?” he asked. “What church? I’ve been thinking about going to church.” He handed me his phone and let me put the name of the church. I added the address and service times, just for good measure. We traded names and off I went.
Later I remembered that this Sunday I will be at Annual Conference, so if a young man named Larry comes to church this Sunday, please tell him Pastor Kim says “Hello! I’m glad you came to church!” Please let him know I’ll be back next week, and we can talk about those sermons if he wants to.
You never know what may come of a conversation in the entryway to the hospital, waiting in line at the grocery, standing in line to get into the Cardinals game, watching a concert in the park, or with one of your kids or their friends in the back seat of your car.
Don’t be afraid to share a little of your life with folks along the way. You might just give folks a glimpse of the Jesus who abides in you. You might get the chance to offer the invitation to “Come and see.”
May the Lord “keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:8)
Pastor Kim
