ME: Why Afton Needs The Letter

Last week it was announced that schools in NY were going to online for the remainder of the school year

And I grieve for seniors who had their high school careers cut short

And I empathize with parents who have been thrust into a teacher role

Some, having to work still

On the positive side, families are getting to spend more time together

And now that the weather is getting nicer

I’m seeing some of the younger kids out riding their bikes and playing in their yards

It reminds me of when I was a kid on summer break

Climbing trees, building forts, and playing with my hot wheels in a sand box

But one of the things I looked forward to was when I would go in for lunch and watch one of my favorite shows as a kid

(Blue’s Sound Effect)

Blue’s Clues!

And every episode had a special visitor

*Mailbox slide

Mailbox!

And when mailbox would spring onto the screen

He would bring a letter with him

Before actually reading the letter though, we would always sing...

We just got a letter!

I wonder who it’s from!

Well, this morning, we’ve got a letter

A Family Letter

This morning I will be introducing our study in the Epistle to the Ephesians

looking at just the first two verses

But I am addressing this letter to the Church in Afton.

Let us prepare our hearts this morning by going to the Lord in prayer.

FBC Afton, We just got a letter!

We just got a letter!

And we know who it is from!

It is from God, through His chosen vessel, the Apostle Paul
