Since my arrival at COTHA I have been busy getting to know people. I have been doing this in both "formal"and "informal" ways. I will continue to do this as our journey continues.
I know it's not possible to spend time with all of the people of Holy Apostles. In some ways that is why I have decided to begin blogging. While it will be a one way conversation, you will be able to see what it is I am thinking about, what I am experiencing, what it is that challenges me and so forth. My hope is that this blog will allow you to get to know me better.
Our God is such an awesome God! I know that He has plans for us that will surprise and delights us. I truly believe that God is calling us to do things that we cannot achieve on our own. All we need to do is to have faith. Faith means courage. So let us trust God and know that He has been waiting for us all to move forward. The time is now!
This Sunday (December 2nd) begins a new message series that I am calling "It's a Wonderful Life." On Sunday I will help us see how we can be the kind of people that God uses. I know that if we are willing, God will wear us out! And when God wears you out, well, "It's a wonderful life!"
I want to encourage you to invite a friend to come with you during this time leading up to Christmas. People come to church because they have been invited. Don't worry about how they will answer when you invite them. They can only answer one of two ways: yes or no. Who knows? Maybe they have been waiting for an invitation.
See you in Church and let's see what God will do this Sunday!
