DICK KRAGER

Please pray with me: Gracious and loving God, thank you for the words you have given me. Please help each of us to discern how to put them into action. Amen.

God has invested a lot in each one of us – Jesus was that investment! Jesus was the ultimate, priceless, sacrificial gift to each of us as Christians. It was the gift of Jesus’ life that has given us eternal life if we believe. Can a greater gift than our own lives be given in return?

Good morning, for those of you who don’t know me, my name is Dennis Mulvey, and I have gone to this church for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I came to see it less like a church, and more like a second home, its congregation more like a second family.

AGAPE is such a simple word meaning love of God, yet, to those of us in AGAPE it means so much more. AGAPE is probably one of the main reasons I am standing in front of all you today. AGAPE allows us to be ourselves, express what we believe in and not worry about anyone judging us.

When thinking about what to say regarding spiritual enrichment, I first looked up some of the dictionary definitions of the words “spiritual” and “enrichment.” Spiritual: “concerned with or affecting the soul” and “of, from, or relating to God.” Enrichment: “to make fuller, more meaningful, or more rewarding” and “to add to the beauty or character of.” Ah, it was immediately clear that “spiritual enrichment” for me meant to add beauty to our own souls and to the souls of others.

Ten of us in the congregation were called upon last spring to explore God’s will for our church;or should I say,
His church here in Pittsford.

I felt doubtfulthat I was wise enough for the responsibility
being placed on me, and I think others in the group felt the same,
but we had faith that God would show us the way.

We used the workbook
that had been recommended to us, studied the Bible, talked, listened, and prayed.

We celebrated all the wonderful aspects of the church that brought us to it, and that continue to bless
