Rooted and Grounded
Ephesians 3:14-19
New King James Version (NKJV)
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
For those of you attending the Graduate Recognition, you'll get to see the gift all the seniors are receiving and it refers to this scripture. We, as a congregation, have nurtured and supported our seniors as they have grown - both in years and in faith. Now, as they graduate and step out into the world (sniffle, sniffle) I am so excited to see what amazing things they will accomplish.
I encourage you to check out the Senior posters at the back of Fellowship hall, share some cake with them at the reception following the Fusion Service and as always - worship with them and support them on their Faith journey.

Peace Pole
What is a Peace Pole?
From the PeacePoleProject:
A Peace Pole is a handcrafted monument that displays the message and prayer "May Peace Prevail on Earth" on each of its four or six sides, usually in different languages. There are tens of thousands of peace poles in 180 different countries all over the world dedicated as monuments to peace. They serve as constant reminders for us to visualize and pray for peace.
When you plant a Peace Pole in your community, you are linking with people all over the world who have planted Peace Poles in the same spirit of peace.
