Matthew 4:18-22
“You have come down to the lakeshore
Seeking neither the wise nor the wealthy,
But only asking for me to follow.
O Jesus, you have looked into my eyes;
Kindly smiling, you’ve called out my name.
On the sand I have abandoned my small boat;
Now with you I will seek other seas.”

Luke 12:4-7
“Let not your heart be troubled,” Christ’s tender word I hear,
And resting on God’s goodness, I lose my doubts and fears….
God’s eye is on the sparrow, and I know God watches me.

Youth Mission Trip to Rocky Mountain National Park
This year’s Mission Trip brought youth, adults, and families together to care for the environment. A total of 34 left Ebenezer to travel to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Working with park rangers, the group spent a week helping to “heal” burn scars and restore trails in the forest. Commissioned during a church service before the trip, the group was challenged “to see the face of Christ in all they worked with, as they learned to be good stewards of the gift of God’s creation.” Thank you all for showing us ways to “touch the earth lightly, use the earth gently, nourish the life of the world in our care.”
