Sometimes the greatest lessons in life can be learned by getting lost...

Drive-In (Theme: Serving) God’s Work. Our Hands.Text: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 Devotion: I love these words from Matthew 5. They may sound familiar to you as the words that follow baptisms in our Lutheran order of worship. There is a brief moment near the end of the baptismal service where a baptismal candle is lit and passed from the Christ candle to the family of the person being baptized. This symbol goes largely unnoticed for most people. Yet, there is something beautiful happening. The light of Christ goes with us and we are invited to carry that light out into the world. The candle and the words, connected to our baptismal calling invite us to “live among God’s faithful people, hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s supper, proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed, serve all people following the example of Jesus, and strive for peace and justice in all the earth.” (ELW) The passing of the light is an invitation to go out into the world and shine a light wherever you may go. Loving and serving our neighbors as an act of living out faith in radical ways. Today, as we embark on this journey of “God’s Work. Our Hands.” we invite you to hear the ways God has called you to shine a light in this world. ~ Jeremy Hallquist Act:
