Accompaniment
Dear church,
The ELCA describes its approach to global mission with one important word: accompaniment.
To accompany someone is to walk beside them, not arriving with all the answers, but listening, learning and sharing the gifts God has given each of us. It recognizes that mission is not something we do for others. It is something God calls us to do together, trusting that everyone has wisdom to offer and that everyone may be changed along the way.
This Sunday we welcome ELCA missionary Pastor Sandy Jones. In addition to preaching, she will give a short presentation after worship about her work in Costa Rica. I hope you will join us as we listen to her experiences and learn more about the relationships through which God’s mission is unfolding.
See you in worship,
Pastor Kyle
