Pastor Greg’s June Message

Good June Disciples,

Welcome to the unofficial beginning of summer. The bugs, the heat, the humidity, everything we’ve all been waiting for.

We have almost made it through the Easter season. We have celebrated the Resurrection, and we have celebrated the Holy Spirit. And even as we continue worshiping through the summer months, let’s continue to pray for the Holy Spirit to continue to bless our congregation. The Spirit is moving! Praise God!

If you didn’t know, June is a very busy month. June 15th is Father’s Day. Also, if you are interested, there are the “Wood Tick Races” in Cuyuna on the 14th. Motley June Fest also takes place on the same day; come to Motley to celebrate and enjoy the parade. Lastly, Minnesota Annual Conference will be taking place June 11-13 at the River’s Edge Conference Center in St. Cloud. The theme for this year is “Created to Love Boldly.”  Which makes me think about us as disciples.

How do we love Boldly?

How do we do it in the context of Christ?

We all understand that love is not always easy.  But in the same way, we are called to unconditionally love all our neighbors.

So, this month, let’s explore our relationships. Let’s see how we can live into the love that Jesus has taught us. Let’s see how we can continue spreading that love.

Friends, this is what we are called to do. This is how they will know us, by our love.

To end, I will be on vacation for two Sundays, June 29th and July 6th. The pulpit will be filled by our friend Rev. Beth Pottratz. I know she will bring the Good News. Please come and show her your support.

God Bless,

Pastor Greg Leslie

Pastor Greg’s May Newsletter Message

Good May Disciples,

This past week as I was doing some planning for what is coming up, I came across these words.

“God is creating a new world out of this one. God is making all things possible, starting here and now. God is renewing life, love, and connection for the benefit of what is and will be.”

God is creating.

God is making.

God is renewing.

As we continue through the Easter season, these are some of the topics we should be focusing on as followers of Christ. Maybe for some of you, you feel like the world is crumbling around you. Maybe for others, you feel like the world is the best it has ever been. It depends on how you view the world.

But being a follower should give us some moral support. When Jesus was resurrected, it showed us that what we all think we know is overcome by what Jesus can do. That is why we live the life of faith. We call on the Holy Spirit to guide us, to teach us, to show us the way. And I believe that nothing can truly change without some intervening from the Holy Spirit.

So, this month, I ask you as disciples to pray for some guidance for the future. The future of the world, and even the future of the church. We have to ask the tough questions, such as, how do we love more, or even how do we reach out to those who are questioning the validity of the Risen Christ.

With that, I want to thank all of you who helped over the month of April with all that was happening at the church. It was very busy, but also very rewarding.  Again, thank you all.

Blessings,

Pastor Greg Leslie
