New Wappetaw Proclamation
“I will proclaim what the Lord has done.”
Palm 118:17
Dear Friends,
I started out calling this message “Updates at New Wappetaw” but then I thought of a good Biblical word to express how I feel about our ministry right now at New Wappetaw. To proclaim is to publicly share the good news, to announce something good that is about to happen.
Well, something… actually lots of “somethings” are already happening. Our ministry teams are up and running, we had a great church oyster roast Saturday at the Allisons, we are preparing for a confirmation class to begin next Monday, we have the Ash Wednesday service next week and then a midweek Lenten study starting Wednesday, March 12. Our worship services are feeling full (but there is always room for you!). I’m hearing positive comments from our folks and people outside the church are offering positive feedback. Our church calendar is filling in and we are expanding our mission within the community and beyond.
The spirit is alive and well, and that is when we have to be careful. When things go too well, we let our guard down and things can get off course very quickly. So as we prepare to enter the season of Lent, let us keep the momentum going, but let us also remember what this season is for and humbly seek God’s guidance as we move forward together.
It is a joy to be your pastor.
Mike
