"Always,
everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each
one." ~ A.W. Tozer
One
Sunday down with 51 more to go.
As PPC moves along with its building
plans, our talks about that space combined with the New Year has me thinking
about ‘space’ in a few different ways.
On
the surface ‘building space’ may seem pretty mundane; a handful of spaces
sectioned off by walls with lights above and carpeting below…
…yet…
…I
get to hear stories about the way our ‘space’ puts goodness into the lives of
many who might not otherwise be touched by that goodness – let alone be touched
by a church as it carries God’s goodness to others.
A
few recent examples come quickly to mind:
The
recent Breakfast with Santa hosted by an outside agency here and the ‘laughter’ from children that filled
this space – children whose lives can use an extra dose of laughter.
A
substance abuse recovery group is now meeting here; young adults and their
sponsors talk and listen as ‘trust and
healing’ fills this space.
PEO
meets here; their fellowship fills this space as they create ‘educational opportunities’ for women that
arise from this space.
Our
local homeless shelters has its board meetings here, and the space here helps
make sure there is ‘warm and safe space’
for the most vulnerable among us.
The
space of 2020 stretches out in front of us…
…may
we generously fill all of our space with the fullness of God’s goodness for
all.
And
we’ve got space for you – we meet Sundays at 10AM.
Together
We Serve,
Pastor Mike
