It was a joy on Sunday to share worship with the retired pastor of Whitehorse United Church, Rev. Bev Brazier, together we met at Trinity Lutheran Church as visiting clergy. I had the privilege of celebrating Holy Communion, and Pastor Bev preached a wonderful sermon on John 1:29ff.
She reminded us of Andrew, the disciple who first responded to Jesus and then immediately went and invited others to “come and see.” Andrew may not always be center stage, but he’s the one who brought his brother Simon Peter to Jesus, who noticed the young boy with five loaves and two fish at the feeding of the 5,000, and who helped bring those seeking Jesus into his presence. Andrew shows us that faith often looks like quiet faithfulness, seeing what others miss and trusting God to do something extraordinary with what we offer.
We were encouraged again today that, like Andrew, we are called to go out and be witnesses of Christ, inviting, noticing, sharing, and trusting that God will use even our small acts to bring others closer to Jesus.
What a gift to worship together and be reminded of our shared calling.
