"Encourage One Another"

Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Cor 13:11

The Bible is in essence a collection of stories about man’s encounter with God and how that changed their lives These stories give us guidance and hope for ways to better our lives. This process continues to the present time.

Washington Cathedral has many such stories that need to be told to give us all guidance and hope for these troubled times. I would ask that Sunday school teachers, youth leaders and TLC facilitators to bless our congregations by bringing such life-changing experiences to our attention. This will serve to encourage all of us to pursue a deeper relationship with God as we seek His solutions to our life’s problems.

Some of the stories might appear in our weekly eRadiance, some might be shared at TLC meetings and some might be shared with the congregations during worship services. God is great and God is good - let’s share the glad tidings!
