For four weeks we have followed one flame, received, carried under pressure, and now handed on. Near the end of his life, Paul writes his own closing line to a young pastor: I have fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith. And underneath it all, one quiet confession: the Lord stood by me.
On Go and Grow Sunday our youth and children share what this summer has grown in them, and we watch the flame catch in the next pair of hands. The faith that carried you is meant to be passed on. Who needs what you carry?
This Sunday, August 9, we worship in one combined service at 10:15 AM (no 8:30 service that day), with our organ and praise team leading together, and a taco salad bar in Hess Hall right after. Watch online at youtube.com/@mcphersonfirst.
