Seeing the "new thing"

In prayer group Monday night, we reflected on one of the Scriptures for this Sunday. It's an old favorite of mine (and probably yours!), and it is perfectly timed for our conversation about HUCC's future and possibilities on Sunday. (Funny how the lectionary does that, so often ....)

Isaiah 43:18-21


Do not remember the former things,
    or consider the things of old.
I am about to do a new thing;
    now it springs forth,
        do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
    and rivers in the desert.
The wild animals will honor me,
    the jackals and the ostriches;
for I give water in the wilderness,
    rivers in the desert, 
to give drink to my chosen people,
    the people whom I formed for myself
so that they might declare my praise.

I believe God is about to do a new thing at Hillsborough UCC ... and maybe more than one! With every challenge comes an opportunity for growth and new directions, and as we face into our challenges, I am hopeful that we will discern the directions God wants to lead us in, and follow like spring lambs!
