Dear Church Family,
My daughter-in-law is trying to get her kids to journal
through these COVID-19 days. I don’t
think it’s going too well! Too bad,
because years from now, we’ll all look back and try to remember how we felt, what
we did, how we passed the days.
Remembering is important.
While crossing the dried-up Jordan River, the priests chose twelve
stones from the middle of the Jordan.
They set them up on the opposite bank as a monument, a memorial, to
serve as a sign. This account is in
Joshua 4, if you’d like to read it. Vs 6
says this: “In the future, when your
children ask you ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them [what happened here.]”
Remembering is about looking back to see God’s faithfulness
so that you can look forward and count on that same faithfulness. My last three messages at ACRC will, of
course, include some remembering, recalling the seven years I spent with this church. Join us in worship this morning.
You can find today’s service on our website www.anacastercrc.org .
Pastor Rita
