Last Sunday, I preached about connecting, communicating, and creating a plan.
Yesterday, Pastor Mark talked about contentment, compassion, and commitment.
In today's reading God speaks three C words through the prophet Zechariah, "I care deeply for Jerusalem and Zion. I've come back to Jerusalem, but with compassion this time. I will comfort Zion again."
This book is all about rebuilding, which Sanctuary Lutheran is hoping to do in Marshfield. It's like the TeenServe motto (we already have 11 people signed up for next summer's mission trip!): Rebuilding homes, refocusing lives.
Sanctuary would like to renovate an abandoned church building on the busiest street in Marshfield. They would like our help. We are in the process of making sure the Faith Center is put to good use. Zechariah speaks the truth that God cares about places of worship AND the people in them.
When we sang the forgiveness waltz and that one line changed at end: from "it's like a heartbreak beginning to heal" to "it's like a desert becoming a field," I immediately thought of the garden and what it must have looked like before it was transformed into the space it is now.
God is doing that same transforming work in us.
