Wow! What a wonderful weekend of celebration of ministry at Riverside. I hope you were able to be part of it all. I hope that you were able to feel the excitement that I felt about our ministry at Riverside. In lifting up Rick’s ministry with us – 11 plus years of it! – we also celebrated our change and growth as individuals and as a congregation during that time.
How far we’ve come… How much we’ve done… How much God is still calling us to do!
As we continue to celebrate Rick’s ministry with us, and as we begin to miss his leadership of us – God’s voice calls out telling us that the mission he calls us to does not end. God calls; telling us that his mission is not dependent upon one person alone, but upon the work of us all. God’s mission – to share his love and grace with everyone – is unfolding in our lives and in our community today, and will continue to do so in the days ahead.
It is my prayer that we each are able to be aware of and be responsive to God’s call to continue to serve him. Where is God active in your life? How is God calling you to serve during this time of transition? How is God calling you to deepen your faith?
