The text for today is about serving others. It's one thing to serve someone you know and like and want to be nice to. It's another thing to serve someone you've never met. Have you ever done that?
When we gather at Oven's Auditorium on Sunday, November 8, you will watch the youth do an amazing thing. They will go first in presenting their four-year commitment to the Master's Plan. Many will give money to something that they will never enjoy. They will have graduated when the building is completed. Nevertheless, they want to give because they know that their gift is an act of service for those they have never met. They want them to experience even more than what they have received at Christ Lutheran.
That's true service. These youth could very easily say that they are not going to give anything to a building because they will not receive anything. But they get it. They get it that The Master's Plan is for those who are not yet here. They are modeling service for the rest of us to follow.
Do you get it?
