On Sunday members of PCMK gathered with dozens of other Christians from churches in our part of the county. At least two other Presbyterian Churches were represented. As you can see from the pictures, we had a great group of young and not so young members (who's the bald guy in the picture?) from PCMK.
It was the annual CROP walk where we raise sponsorship and walk to support hunger relief around the world through Church World Service. Lami Adebayo says we raised over $1000 from our PCMK family. Once again you make me proud to be your pastor.
The walk was in the beautiful Pound Ridge Reservation on a glorious late fall afternoon. The sun was shining and the temperature was moderate until the sun hid behind a cloud. We walked roughly a mile until we reached a creek, took pictures and started back. The event was over before you knew it and I found myself wanting to keep on walking.
What made the time (and miles) go by so quickly was the company on the journey. For a while I talked to a pastor from another church, and then we both realized we wanted to join our people. Then I talked to several members of our church family and even sang along with the kids who were fresh from children's choir rehearsal at church. They sang, "Praise, praise, praise the Lord; praise God's holy name hallelujah!" in both English and French).
The afternoon was the perfect example of our Stewardship Theme for 2014, On the Journey Together. We were literally on a little journey together, but more important was the common goal and the bond in Christ that we shared.
Over the next few Sundays we will look at some of the great journeys of Scripture and see how they can inspire us for our journey together into the future God has for us at PCMK.
See you in Church.
