GOD’S REST/OUR MISSION AND MINISTRY
October 21, 2018
Mission and Ministry Sunday
Imagine yourself on vacation. Perhaps you are staying at a nice hotel with people you love, enjoying your favorite activities, and savoring some much-needed rest. Now, notice something: while you are resting, others are working. They are cleaning rooms, making beds, preparing your food, serving your drinks. Someone else’s work enables you to rest. So it is with God. Today your gracious Father invites you to enter into His rest, His Sabbath, through the saving work of Jesus. He has already done the work—savor it! Rest in His presence as He serves you with His living and active Word and as He prepares His Table of grace for you to enjoy. Today we join the rest of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod in celebrating a mission and Ministry Sunday. What a blessing to share God’s rest in Christ’s forgiveness with others!
See You Saturday and Sunday! Pastor Phil
