Scripture: Luke 10: 1-3 Sermon: “Stories from the Field”
Today is Faith and Loyalty Sunday. Today is the day when we consider God’s graciousness and how we can respond through our gifts, resources, and energy. So far this month, you have heard stories and testimonies of God’s work and faithfulness through willing workers.
This morning, you will also hear the stories of the missionaries we have sent from our own congregation. Listen to what is being said about the activities that build up the king-dom and be aware that you are involved. Whether you physically added to the help or spiritually added to the prayers, you are involved. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for your participation. Thank you for your willingness to serve God.
