SUMMER WORSHIP TIMES Little Fork Day July 5th From the Servant Pastor's Heart “God is Minding Business for Us”
Little Fork Church is a household of faith: people drawn together through their relationship with Jesus. We are in the people development business drawing people who don’t' yet claim Jesus as their reason for living, drawing such people to entrust their lives to him. We help develop followers of Jesus to love and serve him in others. We encourage one another to step out of our usual existence-our comfort zone-into the place where Jesus already is beckoning us to join him. Get out of the boat. Don't look back. Don't look down, look forward and look into Jesus' eyes.
We are in the serving-business, (I was afraid if I said "service" you would think "worship service”). Our Founder, Jesus was filled with compassion and power. So are we!
We are in the celebrating-praising-praying-re-experiencing God's goodness in Holy Communion and other forms of worship-business. We lose track. We forget. We need to be reinvigorated in seeking God's presence. We need to be released from our sins. We need to grow in God's Word growing inwisdom and grace.
We are in the education/formation for all ages-business. Getting to know Jesus, letting ourselves be grasped by God revealing himself in the Bible is a daily/lifetime experience. We are meant to help families grow our kids in Jesus. More and more as we learn and apply we are to grow into the image of Christ planted in us to become the individual unique children of God we were designed to be.
We are in the body-building business. As a household of faith we were meant to grow in our mutual understanding, caring and prayer for each other. We are meant to have fun together, comfort one another, encourage and challenge one another because as a body we are much more than a collection of individuals.
In Christ's Love, Father Bill
