18 community news june12 2012 Church News and Events By Mark Brown The Class of 2012 will have graduated and the summer is just around the corner. This is the time of year when new life is spring- ing forth and there is hope of new beginnings. Each one of us is a community in ourselves. Each of us is connected to one another and what we do and how we respond to one another will have great impact in our community, its health and the health of its individuals. We are so easily offended, we find it difficult to forgive and ask for forgiveness; at the same time ready to accept second hand information as truth. We judge as if we know the truth and run from the truth for fear of being judged. “Love covers a multitude of sin” Thank you Jesus! We are no stranger to Sin; “if we say we have not sinned we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us”. So let’s stop pretending we have it all to- gether. Love is not just a word, it is an action applied to the lives of those in our community. It needs to be practiced in our homes, schools, standing in the check- out line and within community, not just preached in our churches. I believe we have learned this truth in the life challenges we have shared as community. I believe this is a time for new beginnings; each of us has the capac- ity and ability to sustain this life in our community. A gentle reminder--It starts with sacrificial love, thinking as highly of others as you might yourself. Slow to an- ger, ready to offer a word of encouragement and a hand to pick someone up.
