SC Clarion
Weekly Staying Connected, Edition 12, October 10
This week, I was reminded of my session name, Preparers of the Way. When I think of preparing, I immediately go to a list of things that need to happen. Such as, do the laundry, check in on our girl's schedule, think about meeting agenda's, pay church bills, forward messages, return calls, pretend to think to want to walk the dog, and more.
In regards to the church, I immediately think to get the Sunday bulletin ready, make sure the chapel is set, communicate about programs and events ... but .. what does it really mean to "prepare the way of the Lord"?
The prophet Isaiah was speaking about John when he said, “He is a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the LORD’s coming! Clear the road for him!’”
It means to allow God access, to clear out the clutter, to accept Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to work in us. It's about the inner work that needs to happen. Let's each continue to Prepare the way for the Lord in our lives and in our communities!

See all the happenings coming up next week. Remember October 10 is the Second Sunday of the month - so please come and share in the potluck and fellowship after church.
