This is the Lord's doing

The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, and it is wonderful to see. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 
Psalm 118:22-24

What a wonderful weekend of shared life together for our Centennial, and at the block party for our neighbors! There were so many beautiful connections, whether for reunion or meeting new folks who responded to our flyers or personal invitations to come and party with us in the parking lot. God had clearly drawn several to the event to allow us to partner with Him to meet their immediate needs, or connect them with our ministry partners who could care for them. This is the Lord's doing and it is wonderful to see.

Jesus acts. He doesn't simply speak blessing; he lives it. Through his words, his hands, his feet, his life, he brings about the very blessings he promises. Jesus works to bring healing and abundance, liberation and joy to everyone who crosses his path. This is the vocation we are called to—the work of sharing the blessings of Jesus to everyone who crosses our path. Rejoice and glad in it!

Grace and peace,
