Much like the disciples caught in a sudden storm (Mark 4:35-41), we at Sunnyland CC have faced a season of tempestuous winds. We’ve lost friends and family members, including sharing the unimaginable grief of two families who’ve lost young children. Many of us are also weathering personal storms, battling physical or mental health challenges, for ourselves or loved ones. Amid these churning waters, I want each of us to remember the promise of Jesus, who calmed the storm with a word. While the waves may be crashing around us He is our keel, keeping us from being completely overwhelmed.
But he was clear that he wasn’t acting alone – his followers are called to care for each other too. “This is my commandment: love each other just as I have loved you… You are my friends if you do what I command you.” (John 15:12,14)
I have seen this on display in the SCC family a lot lately. Through shared prayers, service, and simply being there for one another, you are embodying the love of Christ in a tangible way. SCC is a special community; the love and strength that you share in these tough times is a testament to your commitment to being the hands and feet of Christ in this world. I pray that SCC continues to be a haven of hope and love, a testament that even when the seas rage, God’s light can guide us to calm waters. Thank you for being you.
Love and light,
Pastor Robin
