| Happy August!
 As
I write this, I’m also printing out a packing list for a trip I’m
about to take.
Tomorrow I’m meeting my mother and her divine ‘ya-ya’ sisters at
Newark Airport. After an embarrassingly immodest display of
affection we’ll all head into The City for some much-anticipated
adventure. Ah, and now it’s ready. My packing list.
This concept of a functional packing list... it has changed my
life. No longer do I burn the midnight oil on the eve of a
departure, frantically attempting to organize my thoughts, collect
items for my suitcase, and shut down my office and home. I print out
a packing list, my cheat sheet, and I’m ready to go.
Don’t laugh: this new photo directory will serve as a church
packing list (have you signed up yet tohave your picture taken?). Each entry will be valuable. Each one
will contribute to the whole blessed experience.
And we will practically need a packing list for the fall... there
will be so much to see and hear and taste and do. Adventures of
faith await! I especially hope you’ll participate in two important
events:
SMALL GROUP MINISTRY: coming in September: an eight-week
small group experience that will re-ignite your faith. The study
we’ve selected is "Serving from the Heart," and it will help
us to discover our gifts, talents and passions. And then it will
help us, as a church, to map out ways of using our gifts, talents
and passions for the glory of God. I pray that 200 of us (and some
of our friends) will commit to this life-changing, eight-week
experience. It will bring your faith to life! Sign-up starts later
this month in the Garden Room.
STORIES OF HOME PROJECT: You are about to see one hundred
homes floating around our church home. No, they aren’t fish, but the
concept is similar... only this time you’ll get to keep your own
artwork. You can add a home to your home. We all have stories of
home to share; the mere fact that each of us has a home (thanks be
to God) is something to celebrate. If you missed the chance to
decorate a fish - here is your chance to decorate a home. More than
that, you will be hearing about some delicious "Tastes of Home"
opportunities, and others as Westminster partners with the Lincoln
Arts Council’s "Stories of Home" art project.
It’s almost time to catch that plane. Autumn will be a
spectacular season at Westminster.
Won’t you join us?
Blessings,
Pastor Sara
