FREE! Random Acts of Kindness
One Saturday night when I was polishing the sermon for the next day, I had been scrolling on Facebook and saw this cute crocheted turtle that had a message that read: "I am not lost, but I am alone. If I made you smile, please take me home! The race does not always go to the swiftest, but to the one who persists. Don't give up!" I took a screen shot and sent it to my colleagues who I check in with almost daily it seems in recent weeks and told them "I need a turtle!" Following worship the next day, I arrived to my door to discover a turtle keychain on my door handle, gifted to me by one of our young people. It wasn't known to me until a few weeks later who it came from, but it touched my heart and it was one of those God moments that fills one's heart with great joy and gratitude! I'm grateful for the ways God's presence and grace
is extended to me as we navigate this wilderness journey.
Random acts of kindness are popping up in the community! At the beginning of March our Fire Department joined in serving alongside of our Community Dinner team! What an absolute blessing and joy that they called the day before when individuals were sharing they wouldn't be able to make it due to illness! What a truly connectional and relational opportunity for us to connect with them! Thanks GL Fire Department!
We went from the March Community Meal into Ash Wednesday Service, it was attended by about 45 people from Delta Mills, Wacousta Community and a visitor or two that stuck around. What a joy to worship together as we begin this wilderness journey of Lent!
The wilderness can be dark, and filled with uncertainty. Surely we are in it this season of Lent! Each day I am reminded that while we are in it, we are also NEVER alone. God is with us holding us and comforting us as we stretch ourselves and let God transform us as a community of faith.
Together in ministry,
Pastor Kayla
