Our Mission Field

Oh my…has it really been nearly two weeks since I last posted? Well, since then I’ve experienced a tremendous Holy Week, a joyous Easter (both sunrise & regular services), been to the John Wesley Fellowship's Gathering on the Holy Spirit (and felt the presence of the Spirit in a powerful way!), and yesterday again found myself immersed in God’s love and grace. The Spirit was present with us at Beulah in the worship music, in the fellowship, at our groundbreaking for our new parsonage, and even at confirmation class (God does work in mysterious ways!). Now, just when I think things will settle down for a time and I can get back into a routine…we are racing towards summer church camp! Will it never end? Praise God, He provides the strength to accomplish His will. My prayer is that everything else will fall away. On a totally different note, some of us are attempting to “see” our community: that is to see who lives around us, who works here, what their needs are, both spiritual and physical. I would challenge you to slow down a bit and look around you. What is it you see? Who is it you see? Now, look again with God’s eyes…what do you really see? That is our mission field…the lost, the hurting, the defiant, the suffering…that is who God has called us to minister to.
