What are the signs of a church that chooses to remain faithful at all times? Among others, it is a church that gives. It’s a church where the people take individual responsibility to do their part in maintaining the life of the congregation, from taking care of the building to taking care of others. It’s a church that understands and lives out the importance of the promises it makes both to God and one another. It takes seriously the need for all to contribute part of themselves and their gifts, to include trusting God as good stewards of all he has given.

2 Chronicles 24:1-14

Sarah Birmingham Drummond wrote:  "As Christians we are shaped by more than our own experiences; we are shaped by our hopes, by the future into which we are living, and by the convictions by which we are living.  Hope is best perceived with the eyes of the heart.  Hope is best lived within the hopeful community, in the company of saints both living and departed."  We all need hope!  Life can be a range of every emotion - both positive and negative.  How blessed we are to live together as brothers and sisters in Christ.  We can be hopeful alone, but how much greater our hope as we are connected as Christians, both with those on earth and those in heaven.  May this be a message of hope especially for those who are remembering their loved ones on this special Sunday.
