Scripture: Exodus 25:1-9, Exodus 31:1-11
Dear Church,
We come to the Grove from a lot of different places and backgrounds. We like different foods and root for different teams and celebrate with different foods and traditions. Other than Jesus, we have very little in common.
But over the years, I have discovered one other place of passionate agreement. Something that unites us across generations, genders and cultures:
Everybody hates group work.
Almost every person has a story to tell about a school assignment or work project that went left because other people were bossy or lazy or incompetent. Most of us would prefer to do important work on our own, without depending on–or being sabotaged–by anyone else.
But that is not God’s will for us. God calls us to life, to ministry, to work…together. I hope you’ll join me as we look at the story of what is perhaps the very first group project–the time God asked the people to build a tabernacle-sanctuary in the middle of camp–together.
Because Jesus is our friend, but he does not want to be our only friend. God calls us to life with Jesus, together. Come and see!
Peace,
Pastor Kate
