It’s good to be back together!
Yesterday, we had a wonderful restart of our afternoon school program! We are calling it 'Fabulous Friday.' With 8 children and 7 adults gathered together, we felt a warm spirit filling our hearts. We all survived Covid, the flu, pneumonia, snowstorms, and the bitter cold of January! I hope we can share that same warm spirit during tomorrow’s service. Today, I visited Debbie and Kempton Coolong. I learned that their families have grown up in Patten and in our church for generations. Personally, I am so grateful to Debbie for creating our church history book. It has helped me understand our church so much better; whenever I have a question, I can go back to that book to find the answer. Tomorrow, we will look at the Gospel of Luke. In a way, Luke was like our own Debbie Coolong—he was a writer who recorded history in a clear, orderly way. Through Luke, we will see what true worship looks like, what Jesus’ mission was, and what our mission should be during these difficult times....
