On Friday night of last week, a group of students at John Knox 'outed' me. They figured out what they thought was my master plan. "You're going to go to the other school so that you can get dessert there too!" Indeed. It was true. I got to enjoy dessert with the John Knox community as they kicked off the year together and then drove up to Covenant to do the same. And there was plenty of dessert left!!
Enjoying time together over food and common vision is a healthy practice of vibrant community. It was a privilege to take part in both events that happened simultaneously. As we look forward to 2016-17, there are many opportunities that we will have to gather together to dialogue, to work together, and to celebrate. As we anticipate the year together, encouragement from the book of Hebrews sets an excellent tone for us as NACE:
Hebrews 10: 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another...
Please pray for the work of many NACE committees that will begin this week in earnest. There is much work to do, but we hold tightly to hope, we trust God to keep His promises. How will we (you?) motivate one another to acts of love and good works?
