Be…See…Do What Matters to God!


Today, we begin a 3 week series in worship opening up the theme that we chose for the church’s 125th
anniversary year: “Be. See. Do What Matters to God!”

Many of you might be thinking, “I get the ‘do’ part, but how are ‘be’ and ‘see’ connected with it?”  Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to be exploring and reflecting on together in the coming weeks.  Here are 4 questions that I invite you to use in your daily devotions during the next 3 weeks.  They are offered in the spirit of encouraging deeper engagement and more meaningful reflection.

1. Who are you?  Who has God created you – fearfully and wonderfully - to be?
2. Who are we, the church?  For what purpose has God called this particular faith community into being?
3. What do you and I have – in terms of spiritual gifts, skills, and other resources – that we value and celebrate?
4. What matters most to the heart of God?  How do we know this?

May this theme come alive in each of our own spiritual walks and then propel us into creative, impactful, and transformative responses.
