Our Session begins with morning worship, where Pastor Tim Wray, preaching on the parable of the fig tree that is given one more year, reminded us that we have been working our way through the piled up manure for 25 years in the ELCIC. Manure piles up on us throughout life, and we strive to get rid of it.
Yet, God is working in the manure. Grace and mercy comes to us in the form of God bringing this life giving sticky, smelly substance. As we wade through we are given the chance to return to God. We are rooted in God's manure reminding us that the ways in which God works are totally different than the sanitized, sterile environments we try to create. Life is messy, and God works in the mess.
