Spreading Blessings

Do you have time? Can you help? When are you available? I’m guessing you’re as bombarded with these questions as I am, and I am guilty of asking them a lot. Yet, I seem to be surrounded with people at Salem who are happy to help, thank goodness, as leading a church temporarily without a pastor requires teamwork! We are so blessed to have such dedicated members of Council, team leaders, and staff who are moving our mission forward into this beautiful new season.

This Sunday is the ELCA dedicated day of service, “God’s work. Our hands.” We will gather in our courtyard for a combined worship service at 9:00 a.m., and then go out to serve our community. It is a perfect example of our mission statement: Encounter God, Grow in Faith, Serve the World.

Those who are active in mission, whether they serve weekly with our Pantry Pack program or on an annual mission trip, return with stories of encountering God and growing in their faith. As we help others, we in turn are blessed by connecting with them and each other. Please join us Sunday as we do God’s work and spread His blessings in our community!

In His love,
Heather Lewis
Director of Music and Worship
