Our new pastor starts in July, but we have been blessed by lay speakers and pastors who have brought wonderful messages and reflections these past few months. Thanks to all. We hope to see them all back again!
Becky Perrault gave us a message about Martha, entitled Martha, Martha, Martha, based on scripture Luke 10: 38-42. In this passage, Mary and Martha were entertaining Jesus. They were very close friends with him. Mary spent her time with Jesus, while Martha was busy working, and getting things ready for a feast. Martha was a bit of a taskmaster, and was quite annoyed that her sister was not helping her, but instead sitting with Jesus. Martha became annoyed, and told Jesus that Mary should be helping her. Life at that point may have seemed a bit unfair for Martha as she was doing all the work, but Jesus also saw worth in Mary spending time with him. Jesus told Martha to be patient. Life may seem a bit unfair when someone is doing all the work, but there also is a blessing in hospitality. Jesus was full of love for both of these women as preparations were being made for a feast for he and the disciples.
Becky compared this to the well-known sitcom the Brady Bunch we are Marcia often became annoyed at her siblings. Mrs. Brady was there to straighten out the situations. Becky also reflected on her own family, life and entertaining. Sometimes we just need to sit down and be present and set our priorities. Thank you Becky for an inspirational and thought-provoking message.
Thank you Leah and Dick Dibble for a wonderful treats after worship. Yummy, as always. Dick was a good helper, but we know Leah did all of the baking!
We will be meeting with our new pastor soon and look forward to welcoming her to our church.
