As the faithful have gathered, I have impressed by the good deeds that are being offered to God by Disciples. The church is full of generous giving people. At our most recent Women’s retreat, the offerings were plentiful. They brought gifts for everyone under the sun! Through your sharing with the Disciples Mission Fund, you are making ministry possible around the world. And whenever disaster hits, Disciples are there (I commend to you Church World Service and Week of Compassion as our vehicles of grace to the world in these moments.) I know of at least 2 of our members who are going to Texas to help rebuild lives as a result of Hurricane Ike. So, I have been impressed. I am reminded by watching us in action of the song we sing at camp and in worship. It is true that “they will know we are Christians by our love” yes “by our love.”
Love,
Thad
