This week our stewardship emphasis will explore “The Joy of Living in Community.” We are called together in joy by a God who has a soft spot for community.
One of Jesus’ most famous commandments to his followers is
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (John 13:34).
Living together as Grace Lutheran, we strive to keep this commandment. Some of the ways we do this are through our various ministries at Stone Soup, Vina Moses, Jackson Street, Vacation Bible School and many others.
As you prepare for worship this weekend, think about how you have contributed to our congregation’s love for one another and benefited from this love. Think also about the important ways your gifts of money and time have made possible the ministries that help the congregation keep Jesus’ commandment.
