This is the story of a collection of people who follow Jesus. We live in Littleton. We encounter people in the name of Jesus, we allow Jesus to turn us into disciples, we gather often, and we equip people to love and serve other people better.

Yesterday's thoughts on communion

Communion Sunday After Christmas 2009

Invited to a table -

Passing around the ham, and the yams, and the green bean casserole, and the potatoes.


Around the table are people you have not seen in a long time. 


This morning we gather around the table.  And some have joined us from far away.

Big Doug is here.  We have done several missions trips together, and although he lives in Seattle, whenever we get together, we remember the adventures we shared together.


Each year is a collection of events, that become your life. 


As we look back on 2009 what will we remember.   What stories will be told for years to come. 


What stories will be forgotten, and lost to history. 


Make God your refuge - and what is most important will never be lost.

Isaiah 57

13 When you cry out for help,
       let your collection of idols save you!
       The wind will carry all of them off,
       a mere breath will blow them away.
       But the man who makes me his refuge
       will inherit the land
       and possess my holy mountain."

As we come to this table we share it with the one we have made our refuge.  The one to whom we have entrusted our stories.  The one who is writing our story, as we follow and trust him.
