Dear friends: October 14
Dear friends,
For me, the month of October is one of the most inspiring months of the year. During October, our entire community of faith spends time in prayerful reflection about God’s grace in our lives and how we express our gratitude through the commitment of our time and resources for ministry. This year we are reflecting on Living and Loving Generously through the lens of I Timothy 6.18,19:
They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.
What inspires me so much in October is hearing the stories from within our community of how we, day in and day out, “do good” are “rich in good works, generous” and how we are “ready to share.” I am using the Stewardship publication Living and Loving Generously as my daily prayer guide. Meditating on the pictures of our community in action and celebrating the impact of our mission and ministry through the inspiring infographics have enriched my prayer life so much this month.
As you continue prayerful reflection on your Christian discipleship as gratitude for God’s grace, I invite you to use the publication you received at home to inspire your own prayer life in these next weeks. If you would like to access the publication digitally, you may use this link.
With gratitude for you and your faithfulness,
Michael Waschevski
Senior Associate Pastor
