One bite at a time...

How do you devour the many action items and details that we will need to address in order to become a church that is worshipping every week in Sahuarita? One bite…

We took a good bite on Saturday at our Planning Retreat. Look for the minutes in an email or in your box for a recap of everything that is going on at SLF. Things are moving and I encourage you to look for ways that you can use your talents to help us. I strongly believe in empowering people, so if you need help getting started please feel free to talk with me about how you are feeling or what I can do to help.

I want to close with this logo that Kari Skinner adapted from her painting. The name in the logo can of course be changed in due time. Until we become a church, I think Sahuarita Lutheran Fellowship will be our functional name. It gets at the present reality that we are a group of committed Christ-Followers, gathered around the goal of starting a church community in Sahuarita. Continue to invite people into our group whenever the opportunity arises. Whether it is to participate in VBS or our Fellowship Events, to come to a Preview Worship Service, or to be a part of a Small Group…there are opportunities to be a part of this positive caring community.

Our new Mission Statement: Growing in God’s Grace and Connecting our Community to Christ. Note: 3 “G’s” and 3 “C’s”. Easy to remember. There will be a test at the next planning meeting. J

May you grow in God’s Grace this week,

Vicar Steve
