​PLANT POTLUCK - Sunday, June 4th
 
BRING A PLANT or TAKE A PLANT or BOTH
 
Bring a slip/slips of a plant/plants from your collections of plants/flowers for members of the church to take home and transplant.  Bring them in containers that do not need to be returned.  Please label what the plant is and any necessary instructions that the plant needs regarding planting, watering, light requirements (full sun/part sun/shade), and any other  special care.
 
This is just a fun little project that the First Lutheran Church Women are promoting to help us expand our plants/flowers with no cost to anyone. 
 
"For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness to sprout up before all the nations."    Isaiah 61:11 
All Are Welcome – How Am I Doing?
 
For the past 20 years, First Lutheran Church of Harvey has practiced the “All Are Welcome” slogan.  At a recent small group church meeting, the slogan invited me to question how do I exemplify “All Are Welcome?”  No problem, I thought.  I believe that all people are welcome at First Lutheran.  Good job, well done… or can I do better?
 
Living out our “All Are Welcome” slogan needs to be more than welcoming people who come to my church.  I can do better.  I can make sure I introduce myself to visitors, offer some coffee and goodies my church provides at worship services.  With some effort, I could leave my comfort zone and sit with visitors at pot luck lunches held at my church.  Now, my work is done.  Surely my actions are welcoming and I am a good example of my church’s slogan that “All Are Welcome” or can I do              better?
 
Why do people have to COME TO MY CHURCH TO FEEL WELCOMED?  If visitors to my church are going to feel they are fully welcomed, I need to look outside my church building to meet church visitors in the community where they live and work.  This is when I can become a friend; where I can share God’s love.  This is when “All Are Welcome” is truly about the visitor, not about me.
 
         •     Romans 15:7 -- Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory    of God.
         •     Matthew 25:35 -- For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me    drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.
