In the first reflection I did when I came to Church of the Covenant, I thought about what it's like to be a small church pastor, to a church without a website. So now we're about to get one...plan to launch by Easter...
When the tribes of Israel asked Samuel to find them a king, he responded by telling them how much it would change them. The king would confiscate their wealth to raise armies, take their women, and generally mess up their lives. "But we want a king, anyway," they said. "So that we can be like all the other nations."
Somehow having a king might give them a prestige in the eyes of the outside world. OK, now, little Church of the Covenant...we're going to be a little like everyone else. Still I think, God has a special mission for us on Military Road. It may or may not depend on a website, but I'm sure it does depend on us being present to our neighbors and neighborhood.
