Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Did you know…

Labor Day—celebrating the first Monday of September since 1894—honors the workers of the industrial revolution. In those days, men, women, and children as young as 5 years old were put to work in mills and factories under brutal, unsanitary conditions. Today, employees throw a fit if they can’t bring their pet iguana to work in its diamond-studded collar.

Work is part of life. It’s not punishment. It’s always been the plan.

The first instructions that God gave to humans was to “care for the earth.” That’s work with purpose. And work with purpose is satisfying.

Consider how your work is purposeful. How does it make the world better? How are you contributing to the lives of others? How are you able to use your God-given talents for the sake of a bigger story?

If those questions are difficult for you, hope is coming. The FAVOR WITH KINGS series (starting 9/18) will be powerful.

In the meantime, don’t miss the opportunity to rest and reflect this weekend. And don’t miss your 60 minutes with us on Sunday: 8:30, 10, 11:30a & 6p.

May God bless you as you work.

PPS: Put September 24th in calendar and don’t miss the ALL IN night. It will be a defining evening for our whole church.
