Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church As our days unfold we encounter circumstances which bring to us both encouragement and distress. And we continue to discover what it means to follow the risen Christ into our world filled with opportunity as well as challenge. From these kinds of experiences we learn more of God's supervision of our lives and God's presence in the lives of those with whom we walk. This is the blessing of community, the context in which we are called to spend ourselves to proclaim what we understand about God's intention for the human family and the home God's creation provides to us. Let us walk together in faithful response to God's love. This next Sunday, the youth of the church will lead us in worship. We will contribute the offering received in this service to support the ministry of our partner, Trinity Child Development Center. I pray you will be able to share this experience with us. May it go well with you. Sincerely, Garland Robertson ...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to bring some portion of misery to an end
