We Are Doing Well
==================

I am writing in response to the joke issue called “Success.”

I once heard a preacher from Malawi. His sermon had a very simple message, but one that struck a chord in my life. I would like to share this with you.

He said that when he was in Europe or in the United States, he noticed that people said “I’m great” (meaning I am doing well, things are great for me), therefore everything around me is great.

He said that in Africa, this is not what people say. In Africa, they say, “We are all doing well, therefore I am great.”

I am not gifted with words in the same way he was, but I agree that it is only when we work together as a community that we are able to be the people that we are truly meant to be. That is when we are really great; because the light of Christ is alive and glowing in us.

This is the kind of success that I want.

How about you?

==================

Today was a great day for us at VCC. As a congregational community, we came together to worship, share, be challenged and just enjoy our faith and each other. The light of Christ IS alive and glowing in us, and we are growing in that light. We too are looking for that kind of success!

If you are in the area, and looking for a great church home, come be a part of our growing, vibrant church fellowship in downtown Sumner.
