In a few weeks I'll be attending a district conference. The conference is made up of Pastors, teachers and delegates from Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Canada. For almost 3 days we will share God's word, food and discussions on the resources God has given us to use.
I've never been to a Minnesota district meeting. But have attended various workshops for educating church council members.
Will I be bored to tears? Will I be unable to sleep in the heat? Will the food be ok? What do the members of Salem church expect from me when I get back? Will I know any one there?
I'm attending as a lay delegate, representing my church council. I took 3 days vacation to be able to make the trip to MLC. Part of me is looking forward to the time away. Part of me wonders how I'll get all of the reading done.
Jesus words will bring us together. Men from varied walks of life, backgrounds, expectations. A common purpose brings us together. Go out and teach the wonderful gospel message to all. The business of a church is not unlike other businesses. Our product, is to some, an unsought product. Our product carries no price tag, but the benefits definitely out weigh its cost.
