Pastor’s Message

Posted June 5th, 2009 by admin

I have been experiencing a great deal of gratitude of late for the church that you are. The source of my admiration comes out of your struggle to continue your outreach efforts in spite of the worst economic situation most of us have ever seen and its concomitant reduction of income from the Wendell-Hubbard Fund.

Your combined creativity demonstrated in the planning for, the conducting of and the follow through of the silent auction for CAZCARES in May was stunningly brilliant. The $7,000 raised and donated that evening to feeding the hungry in our area will become “stuff of legend.”

I will also remember the character you all demonstrated behind the scenes. I will recall that the idea came from you. I will remember that you put all your talent and creativity behind the goal of helping. I will remember stories of individuals wheeling and dealing for items and services to auction. I will remember the amazing variety of items you found. The stunning beauty of the transformed Meeting House, the exquisitely served hors d’oeuvres and drink will always be a part of my memory.

What really caused my heart to smile though was watching all of you working together. Young, old, in between, member, non-member, you all showed up with passion and spunk bringing yourselves and your talent. You brought spirit to the bidding and you invited the whole community to join you.

That evening we had a chance to see the wealth of the church in action. You were beautiful.

God bless,
Steve
