As the rain and snow water the earth and let it bring forth food, so God’s word accomplishes that which it is sent out to do – liberation and restoration for God’s people.

Jesus sits in a boat and teaches the crowds through parables – in this instance, the parable of the seed that falls on different kinds of ground and produces different results.

Prayer
God of the Ancient Ones, God of our ancestors, God who knows humanity: help us to persevere in these trying times. Help us to remember that all things change in season, and this is a long season, but it will pass.

These difficult times will come to an end. For now, O Spirit of Life, help us to breathe deeply into Your love, into Your peace, into Your call for justice. May we know Your presence is with us, now and always. Amen.

After 6-year ministering among, the Hotalings are moving back home “Kansas”. Scott joined us as Director of Youth Ministry and indeed planted seeds of hope and possibility in the minds of our young ones. His position transitioned to the current one as Director of Christian Formation caring for the youngest ones up to the “wiser” ones. There was a year in transition where the last class of youth graduated, and we experienced a boom in young families with younger children.  There it was – an opportunity to rebuild. The seeds were planted, and we will see the fruits in due time.

Thank YOU, Scott, Jessica, and Spencer, for sharing with us the best of you all, your gifts for ministry.

My prayer goes with you. And Yes, I will be missing you all. Blessings.

So, please join us on Sunday @ 10, please make sure you have the order of worship with you.
