April 2, 2025 Mid week blessings, Last Tuesday a small group gathered around a table at Theresa's Cafe in Flemington. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect in a caring conversation outside of church. What a powerful witness to the church isn't a building. Church is a community of people who come together to talk, listen, and support one another. This Sunday we will hear these words read by Bob Connolly, "Don’t remember the prior things; don’t ponder ancient history. Look! I’m doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness." Isaiah 43:18-19 A new thing is reaching out and inviting people to come see. Last Sunday Karen from Larison's corner joined us for worship and stayed for the workshop on dementia lead by Deanna Butters. When I asked her why she came her response, "I had to come and see what was going on here."Our journeys of faith wear a path on our hearts. It reveals to those who know our story that we don't walk alone. God walks with us. Sometimes the trail ahead of us is clearly marked. Sometimes we feel we are venturing into unmarked territory. Trust that God is making a way, a path in the wilderness. Remember that you never walk alone. The journey of Lent is drawing to a close. Walk in faith. Pastor JJ |
