February at Caledonia Congregational Church

2/1/2015

Friends-  
What's your job description? 

As a follower of Jesus I mean... 

Most of us have at least some sort of rudimentary idea of what our job description would be for the work we do in the world: engineer, teacher, mom, etc. 

But what is it for the work we do for him, for Jesus, in the world? 

For a long time I have believed that our job description is LOVE: Love God, love each other, love the stranger, love your enemies, you know...  Love.  Appropriate as we head into the month known for Valentines Day.

And I don't mean feel loving...  I mean love as a verb, as something you do!  Why not make this February a month when we actually love- when we go out of our way to show love to others, even- and especially- those we don't know or don't like, or don't like us.  Challenging?  You bet!  But, Oh!  What an adventure! 

It's all right there in your job description... "...by this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another..."  Jesus to his disciples (John 13:34).

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the month to begin, so I can get started!  Come to think of it, maybe I'll start now...

Caledonia worship service cancelled- but not worship!

Friends-

Welcome to winter!  I trust you all have heard before you get this that the decision was made to cancel worship service this morning due to the weather.  So please stay home, stay warm, and enjoy the day!

The One who made the world and the weather is still worthy of our worship however!  Let's be sure this is just a day we are not together, and not a day we don't worship.  He is always worthy of our worship and praise!  So sing a song, play some music, offer a prayer, watch a service on TV, be still, and know that He is God!  And this day will be rich, even if we can't get together. 

See you all soon!
Gary
