Good Friday to you, Village Family
I hope you are well. Hey, come by this evening, between 5 and 7 p.m. We're going to have our Drive-Thru Ice Cream Social. Come by and we'll give you a little ice cream or a cookie.
I'm grateful to my colleague, Rev. Zach Walker, who’ll be preaching this Sunday. He's going to provide some wisdom for those moments when life feels a bit heavy. Goodness knows we're all in touch with that these days. I'm looking forward to worship.
I'm looking forward to it for another reason as well. This Sunday, we are celebrating the third anniversary of Village on Antioch. Dr. Frick will be our liturgist and the music will be provided by our Village on Antioch music team. I'm looking forward to that.
About four years ago, we at Village decided that it was important for there to be a church in the Stanley community that was thoughtful and committed to mission. That was inclusive and was compassionate. So with a great commitment and some sacrifice, we launched Village on Antioch. I'm really grateful to the faithful saints from the former Stanley congregation, who with courage and care made this a possibility. I'm grateful to those of you who are part of our Village on Mission Campus who joined us at Antioch to help make this a successful and meaningful.
I'm grateful to those of you who have no history with either of those congregations, but have found your way to Village on Antioch, because it's a meaningful family of faith. It's worth celebrating this. And it's worth reminding ourselves that even when life is a bit heavy, God is still at work among us. And Village on Antioch is one of those signs of God's grace. It's worth celebrating that. I'm looking forward to it.
I hope you'll join us Sunday.
Shalom,
Tom
