Greeting Holy People of God,

Until World Food Day, October 16, we are going to be sharing with one another how “God’s work. Our hands.” Takes shape among us. Thank you to those of you who shared the organizations, agencies or ministries with which you are connected. The heart basket remains on the table by the entrance and the slips of paper are still there for you to add your connections with God’s handy work. Share your individual experiences or things we do together as a faith community. Drop your ballots, multiplied entries are allowed. In this election year as you pray and discern who you will cast your ballot for, here is a little light hearted attempt to celebrate what God is working through us. Here you can vote often. When you vote here, we vote for what God is at work among us and that is something to celebrate. Christ is our king and we have an amazing leader!

Let me share with has been shared so far:

God is glorified through your hands as they reach out to bless and care for the people and world God has made through these organizations and your relationships with them. These are some of the ways God is working through us. I hope this sharing whets your appetite. On Sunday, September 29, Sue Huff will have a table with information about Compassion International and share at the adult forum her journey with her children and this organization.

We celebrate and lift up God’s work through us, servants of God.

Bold Inquisitive Belief Loving Expansively,

Pastor Connie Spitzack
