The work we do on the physical plant of the church is a celebration of the life of our Parish. The life we live is a reflection of the presence of God in our lives and in our community. As with most churches, the life of our Parish and Congregation is marked with “successes” and “failures”. Quotes because, as our scripture told us today, the successes and failures may sting but the possibility that is God’s life and eternal life with God helps us overlook what society deems a failure. God asks us to do the work we feel helps us complete God’s work on the earth, even when we feel like we’re failing we realize that God has a plan – all we have to do is stick with it. How are you invited to participate – not for “success” but to simply compete in God’s work?
