The Journey by Pastor Susan Hoyle

Mark 12:30-31
Matthew 28:19-20
Scripture for March 15

The Scripture passages for this week are known as The Great Commandment (Mark 12:30), the Great Compassion (Mark 12:31) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). These powerful verses are the way that Jesus lived His life and He offers them to us. Will we be the hands, feet and heart of Christ in the world? “I thought we were doing that now,” you might ask. We are! And there are ways we can be even more effective in reaching out to others. “How”, you ask?

Well, this Sunday Rev. Bob Farr, our special guest preacher, will answer that question. He is the Director of Congregational Excellence of the Missouri Conference of the United Methodist Church. Bob will share his wisdom on how we can serve God in even mightier ways. No matter how we reach out to our corner of the world, God has new ways for us to be the hands, feet and heart of Christ.

Prayer
Oh God, sometimes I just want to stop reaching out and just rest for a while. But then I remember you never stop reaching out to me…amen.
