Good Morning!! On any Sunday morning we can find a thousand reasons not to attend churh. Many of us are preoccupied with myriad concerns,...people we need to see or plans we have to make. Is it any wonder, that the sermon may seem distant from our needs,...or the music unmoving. When this happens to me, I remind myself of one thing: God will be there,...and that is why I need, and want to be there.
I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord."—Psalm 122:1 (NIV)
I will be there with an open heart, and hands to receive "every good and perfect gift," which comes from God (James 1:17) so that I may be part of God's presence in the world. I will be there because I follow Jesus, who "went to the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was his custom" (Luke 4:16, NRSV). Worship was established behavior for Jesus. How much more must it be for us!

God will be at church, Sunday,...shouldn't we be there too.
Heavenly Father, open our eyes to Your presence: at church, at home, in daily life. Help us to be fully Yours as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Amen.
"We are made for service,...service to our God,...and service to each other."
