Continuously Growing
• Series: The CORE: Values that Connect Us, Purpose that Moves Us.
Be patient with me, the t-shirt reads, God isn’t finished with me yet. We are always becoming. Becoming stronger. Becoming informed. Becoming refreshed. Becoming new. Becoming who God would have us to be. We never finish our Spirit-fueled process of growing. One of our Core Values at Church of the Messiah is to be Continuously Growing. We aspire to acknowledge that we are unfinished. We are intentionally becoming the people Jesus calls us to be, growing towards perfect love of God and one another. This Sunday, we’ll explore the joys and challenges of growing in faith and we’ll celebrate World Communion Sunday. On World Communion Sunday, we join ecumenically in acknowledging our unity in Christ as we come around his table. Jesus claims us as brothers and sisters and invites us to journey together to perfect love. Your special gifts on World Communion Sunday benefit World Communion scholarships for graduate students from the U.S. and other countries and support Ethnic Scholarships for U.S. and international undergraduate students in the U.S. and Ethnic In-Service Training. We’re all growing. Sometimes slowly, sometimes in leaps and bounds. And, just as importantly, we’re all doing it together. I hope you’ll join us this Sunday, in person or online, for this conversation.
