“While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’ So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.”
With the same heart that the early church had for sending out people who had a calling to ministry outside of the local church, we are getting ready to send Margaret to Honduras next week. We are going to take time in our service on Sunday to commission her to her ministry calling and pray for her together. While I know it will be hard to say goodbye for seven months, I have so much joy in being a part of the church family who is releasing her to her new adventure. What a beautiful thing.
Here's what you can add to your prayer list for the rest of the year for Margaret:
God's continued guidance and direction in this new adventure.
Safety while traveling and serving.
The children and families that she is ministering to would come to know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him.
You can follow Margaret's adventures on her Facebook group and we will share updates on our social accounts as well. (Links below.)
Also, everyone is invited to stay for lunch after the service if you'd like to spend a few moments sending her off and saying goodbye. We're going to keep it simple - $5/person for pizza, salad, dessert and beverages. Just be sure to RSVP for you and/or your family by tomorrow. (Yep, gluten-free options will be available.)
What a privilege we have this Sunday. I'm looking forward to sharing it with all of you.
See you then,
Pastor Tracy
