Come Together

We, the people of this generation, are building on the shoulders of the ones before us.  We may do new things, but it will be within the branches of the family tree.   Their faithful roots of those who have gone before us are deep and bring strength for the place in the Son we now live to bear fruit in this season.  Only as we do our part, secured well to the vine, will the next generation have sturdy branches to begin their own growth.

Older believers, stay strong in leaning in fully to the mission of the gospel and following the One you love.  Don’t ease up either on the disciplines that bring life or on the playfulness that comes because you know Whose mighty hands you are in.  Assess your life and ask yourself if you are still living passionately for Him and leaning in to the adventure of following radically today and are a good model for those who are watching. 

Younger believers, come climb on our limbs and tap into the wisdom of our experience and let us tap into your fresh energy.  The road is long, but it is full of joy and peace.  We’ve weathered some storms and can share what we’ve seen and heard.  And we need you to remind us with the enthusiasm and hope of looking forward that is fresh air for our older lungs. 

We need to do His work together.  We need each other’s gifts and energies and points of view.  We need to play together too, and see from many facets what He is weaving in our generation.  It’s family day.  Let’s worship and spend some time together.
