Values and Priorities
Vacations are over, school has begun, Labor Day Weekend has come and gone, and the busyness of fall activities is in full swing. At this time of the year we look at our schedules and decide what we have time to pursue and what we have to forego. The routines we begin in September often last until May, so we need to think deeply about our priorities and establish good habits now.
Many of us here in Medina are deeply blessed with an abundance of opportunities, and we want to take advantage of as many as possible. Our days fill up with activities for ourselves, our children and perhaps our grandchildren. We plan each hour of each day with good things for us and our children to do and often there is simply not enough time to do all the things we desire. What will we include? What will we leave out? The decisions we make reflect those things we truly value.
As we make our decisions, do we consider the priorities of Scripture? Where is God in the process? As Christians, our worship of God, our growth in faith, and our service to others are important priorities. Regular participation in worship and Church School is a must for healthy spiritual lives.
I invite you to join us in worship each Sunday on the Square at the corner of Liberty and Broadway. Together may we discover the strength of Christian community and grow in God’s grace. “No matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!” Come, experience the love of Christ in a joyful community of faith.
Blessings,
Neal R. Sadler, Senior Pastor
