40 Years of NWPCofC

This weekend was our church's celebration of having a building in Thunder Bay for 40 years. The weekend was a good one - and even though I thought this was an opportunity for those who have been here for much longer to see old friends, I had the opportunity to reconnect with a few folks who we haven't seen in awhile.

Celebrating the past while looking to the future! It is something the Isrealites did after 40 years of wilderness and just before going into the promised land.

So, are we facing our "promised land"? Are we ready to cross the Jordan, walk around the walls of Jerico, blow our trumpets and take the land? Are we ready to take a leap of faith and follow God into battle?

We are here because we felt called to be here. We were and continue to be sure that God has a purpose for us here - that there is a plan for us here - a plan to prosper - not to harm! Well, I hope that is the plan... Sometimes I wonder - have we helped? or have we done harm? What is ahead?

Perhaps, like Mimlaps talk this morning - we don't know what lies ahead, but we can be confident in knowing that God walks with us and looks over us!
