Would you be our nursery coordinator? Or maybe Sunday school superintendent? How about a member of the outreach or worship and music team? Or help get the senior’s group or member care team going again?
Hold on -- Summer’s the time to lay back and relax. Travel, put your feet up, take in the sun. Please Pastor, don’t make me think about all this church business.
All right, take it easy for now, but get ready! After a little R&R, it will be time to start some rebuilding. Not bricks and mortar building – not yet. But leadership and volunteers.
This month marks my 5th year here at Atonement. What a great 5 years it has been, and how far we have come -- we have grown spiritually, grown in attendance, grown in giving, and grown remarkably in service to the community. We’re off to a great start.
But we have also grown a little tired. After 5 years of pushing ahead, some groups and projects have run out of steam. Some of us who were regular attenders have found it hard to get back in the habit. Some of us who never attended much have stopped altogether. Some great ideas that never got off the ground have been forgotten or laid aside.
Spend the Summer relaxing and renewing your strength. Pray about how you will deepen your faith life and your participation in God’s mission at Atonement. Because when Fall hits, it’s time for take off.
