Greetings! New beginnings are exciting and filled with the unknown. Everything is new and there is so much to learn.
Upon reflection, throughout the Bible people are called by God and sent. Examples include Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and John the Baptizer. And in John 17:18 as Jesus prayed to God for his disciples: As you [God] sent me into the world, I have sent them [disciples] into the world. (NIV) The church, consisting of disciples, is sent into the world.
Associated with the call of God and the sending, is the unknown. However, the unknown turns into blessings because God is in the mix. Isaiah 41:13: For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you: Do not fear; I will help you. (NIV)
I am looking forward to these blessings as we reflect the love of Christ to one another and our community. Together we will nourish our faith through the means of grace and bear the fruits of our faith through our ministries.
Grace, peace, and blessings, Rev. JoAnn
