First Covenant Church

I have to say that sometimes ministry can wear you down.  It often feels that we are fighting this uphill battle where we rarely see obvious victories or the fruits of our labor.  I think this Sunday was one of those days where God gives us glimpses of the importance of our work.

First, the baptism of Mike and Emma Borrelli was a great example of God using us to help him get a hold of people's lives and transform them.  As I listened to Mike's testimony, I couldn't help but think of the many people that have played some role in their journey up to this point.  Yet, I believe that as Mike read it was us who were being blessed.

I also saw God's hand in the whole process of dealing with the money given to the church by Bethel Gould.  The meeting on Sunday was unified and, I believe, excited about how to use this money for God's work in our midst.

I think it is good to have these moments, to realize that we are being used by God as his "tool" (thanks for that metaphor Mike!).
