We thank lay speaker Becky Perrault for her message today on wheat and weeds, based on scripture from Matthew 13: 24-30. The mission of the church is to sow seeds, not pull weeds! Becky also wondered how many weeds need to be pulled in the huge local USA field off 54-A that graces our roadside.
In Bible times, servants doing diligence picked out the weeds from the crops. Servants were eager to pull the weeds and make the crops bountiful, but we are told to harvest them later- wheat and weeds will be separated in time. We need to balance the wheat and weeds in our life, knowing God chose our paths. God planted us like seeds who are nourished and nurtured by the sun and refreshed by the rain. God wants us to grow towards what he calls us to be.
Don’t forget that the first Sunday of the month will be a first Sunday brunch after church. August 13 is our combined service with the Dresden congregation at 11 o’clock at Keuka College Athletic field pavilion. Picnic will follow.
