Whether a
first-time guest, returning seasonal resident, or regular worshiper, welcome to
Kirkin’ O’ th’ Tartans! Today is a day
where we appreciate our heritage and also look to the future with hope. The Hebrews used to “tell time” by looking
backwards and recounting God’s faithfulness and then looking ahead reassured
that God’s love, grace and provision would be with them in the future.
Likewise,
we have much to rejoice about today. We
inherit a rich tradition of faith at Eastminster, and we are open and excited
about the new things God calls us to do.
God is alive here, and based on past faithfulness and grace from above,
we go forward with the fruit of faithfulness, knowing God will inspire and
guide.
Please
plan on staying a bit after the service and enjoying shortbread and a beverage
out on the breezeway. One of the
hallmarks of Eastminster is that there are incredibly interesting people here
to get to know and with whom to share.
Or you can speak with me… just joking, I hope!
Hope to
see you next Sunday as we welcome confirmands and remember those “saints” that
died this year. By all means plan to attend Eastminster’s Annual Celebration
Luncheon on November 12 at 11 a.m.
May we all
“Live by the Spirit” this week! May we
be gifted, inspired and open to love those God puts in our paths!
Blessings,
Pastor Tim
