Freely Volunteering

1 Chronicles 29:17 I know also, my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things. And now I have seen with joy Your people who are present here offer voluntarily and freely to You.

As summer time is in full swing we are seeking to bring God’s House into order. As Haggai 1:9 reminds us: You looked for much [harvest], and behold, it came to little; and even when you brought that home, I blew it away. Why? says the Lord of hosts. Because of My house, which lies waste while you yourselves run each man to his own house [eager to build and adorn it]. As I mentioned in a previous blog our connections truly are indicators of our relationship with God. They symbolize our relationship with God. If the House of God, we worship in, is in neglect and we don’t notice – could it be that the same is true of our spiritual lives? Again the Biblical principle conveys the thought that physical truths point to greater spiritual truths. All of that to say many thanks to those who have volunteered freely of their time and resources: Mary Quinn and her friend Carolyn, Lisa Drogan, Kent Lee, Vic Medlin, Jake Denofrio, Charlotte Price and the girls, and then those who have cared for Cass Thompson, Sherlyn Medlin, Lisa Drogan, Kristen Wagenmaker, and Mary Quinn. If I left anyone out please forgive me. Im saying all of this to say thank you to those who do the behind the scenes – unnoticed things that contribute to our church family becoming a home. God bless you! Our Church Home is getting into shape and I’m pretty sure it’s a reflection of our spiritual lives also.
