What an incredible day we had yesterday at our church picnic, where the three congregations of Augustana, Good Shepherd and TOL came together under sunny skies! The air was filled with laughter, delicious food, and the warmth of Christian fellowship. As we gathered, Pastor Adam dove into the challenging and inspiring words of Luke 14:25-33, where Jesus teaches about the true cost of discipleship. The Gospel states, “Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:28).
It’s a reminder that following Him demands our whole heart, placing Him above all else, even as we navigate life’s joys, sacrifices and conflicting priorities. Yesterday’s shared worship and reflection strengthened our bonds and renewed our faith. So thankful for this beautiful time together!
