" A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh" Luke 6:45
As we now approach our annual church conference,Feb. 11th, we urge all to attend as we discuss past, present and future matters of the church. Recently while reading over old minutes of the church, I cam across many inspirational comments made by roger Schnell. a pillar of our church whom we greatly miss. In his wisdom, Roger often ended our annual conference with words of hope for the church's future. I often look back and remember the strong faith he lived and shared with us.
I would like to share a couple of Roger's quotes that exemplifies what we can hope to be in our our hearts this 175th year at Lee enter First Congregational UCC. .
We need remember......
"We must stay charged , enthusiastic, and keep the wheels of faith and community turning." " We can compare our congregation to a forest ....some trees dying, new ones growing , and life flourishing on those established." "A challenge is given to set our goals high and continue in our faith & growth this coming year"
In the year of our 175th anniversary. no better words can be shared.. Roger is greatly missed but his words continue to inspire and are an example of a steadfast love for God
