As I look out the window of my office, it is fun to see a parking lot full of cars with two women’s groups meeting on the campus today – Christine DiGiacomo, who is leading Women of Passion in the Chapel, and also a MOPS program led by Angi Soderin and Melissa Potwora. Last weekend was special as we listened to Melissa share her heart for MOPS. I love that she was able to draw from the story of Gideon; as two weeks ago God gave her a name, Courageous Leader. It’s fun to see how she is stepping out heroically in her leadership with MOPS.

This past Sunday we learned once again what being heroic can look like, and how being heroic in the Bible can look vastly different than what the world defines as heroism. We learned that being heroic can mean being honest, open and vulnerable with others and with God, ie: the story of the powerful General named Naaman, who had leprosy.

This week we’ll be looking at a wonderful passage focusing on Elijah. We’ll also be taking communion. It’s the perfect time to come and learn what it means to live heroically. We’ll also be focusing on the most heroic moment of all time – Jesus dying on the cross for all mankind.

Looking forward to seeing you Sunday.
