Grow as you go

Gather ~ Grow ~ Go
Now is the time to GROW!
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (2 Peter 3:18)
According to Charis’ teacher it is past time to be planting here, “if this was a usual May.” We all know this was not a usual May…
So maybe we are behind doing what we need to be doing…
But my thoughts are to warmer days ahead and a wonderful time of vacation from school and a summer full of fun and time in the sun!
This is not a bad thing to have on the radar screen as we head into the months ahead. But it could be bad if we forget what we are about, people of St. John’s…
You see I have our mission statement at the top of this, Gather ~ Grow ~ Go. This summer we might miss some gathering, and that is ok. We all need time away and I will be away some times during our gatherings. That is life and we need that time with our families.
We will be going this summer to many places, and hopefully being true witnesses to the love we have received.
But in the midst of all this going, we can still be growing! Now is the time to set our sights upon God and to discover how we will stay connected as we work towards being disconnected!
We need to always be seeking how we will be growing in the grace and knowledge of God. If you need some help see me before you go this summer! But I pray you will be connected to God as you disconnect to recharge in these months ahead!
