Good morning…
It seems many in our online community enjoy the simple and uplifting chapel messages my husband Steve shares, virtually due to COVID, with his community of upper school students, faculty, and administrators. Steve’s weekly chapel talks are a lot like the children’s messages I experienced in our Lutheran Church growing up in Berea, Ohio. We kids in the church family would meander up to the front of the sanctuary and sit on the steps at the feet of our pastor. Usually with some type of easy-to-understand prop, we would be taught an easy-to-remember faith lesson before being whisked off to Sunday school. Children’s messages, short and sweet, allow everyone within earshot to let down any sophisticated guard. When a talented communicator aims at the youngest, the life-giving message reaches us all.
Casual and encouraging, please enjoy Steve’s chapel message for this week of Thanksgiving.
I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God’s great mystery (Colossians 2:2, MSG).
We are woven into the tapestry of God’s love as we generously share the encouragement of the written word. Might we each take five minutes this Sabbath morn to hand-write a note of thanks, to hand-pick people with whom to share this post, along with an emailed word of encouragement, or to seek to find other creative ways to hand-tie your essential people, both near and far, into God’s great growing tapestry of tangible love?
