Another Easter has come and gone,
and once again people flocked to churches to
celebrate arguably the greatest happening in
the history of man, at least in the Bible be-
lieving community. Not surprising the week
after people returned to their routines…….
To everything turn, turn, turn; there
is a season turn, turn, turn. Just another Bi-
ble truth set to music. I am feeling somewhat
between seasons at the moment. Wondering
what the next season will bring and trusting
God is setting the stage and preparing me/us
even now! My prayer is for a church that has
no walls and sees no purpose in itself other
than to live with passion for the greater good
of others. Understanding that, that greater
good is God Himself; in Christ Jesus. Thank
you to the leadership of the church in Verno-
nia and the work you are doing within your
churches.
God, I know we may attend/go to
churches with different names on the door
but we teach the same Jesus, the same Bible
and that should be enough. I believe in my
heart of hearts as you have spoken to it. If
we could only join together to meet the real
needs in our community as well as we do the
within; the Vernonia community would see
you and not us. Together we can do so much
more than we can apart. To reach a world for
2012

You. God you have not let this go in my heart
as hard as I have tried to let it go. Will this be
the year you move in the hearts of the lead-
ers or maybe the people. The time has come
for us to talk, heal, reconcile, forgive if need
be, whatever it takes for our community to
know and see the fullness of Gods church as
One church, One Spirit, To the Glory of One
God, Jesus Christ! Amen.
