A message from our Senior Warden, Kathy Roland
A core part of loving someone or something is the constant desire to learn more about that person or thing. Learning is an act of love. Is there any higher priority in your life than knowing more about the God who created you and loves you more than life itself?
Most of us associate loving God more with worship, service, stewardship, etc., than with learning. We read for entertainment, maybe even for inspiration, but seldom for new knowledge and insights. In his book, Welcome to the Episcopal Church, Christopher Webber says “In our Christian journey, the Scriptures are of critical importance as a means of understanding God’s nature and purpose; as we read and study them, Jesus walks with us and we grow in knowledge.” Vacation Bible School is an opportunity for all of our parishioners to join together for a week of Bible study. I hope you can come and bring a friend!
A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!” His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?” The son replied, “I do know!” “Okay,” said the father, “What does the Bible mean?” “That’s easy, dad,” the young boy replied excitedly, “It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.”
