The Wedding of Tim and Trish Wilt went off wonderfully. The couple celebrated their union with family and friends at a service of Holy Communion at St. Mark’s Church on Saturday, September 4th and at the Elks Club, Lewistown. We wish them the very best as they begin a new phase of their life together.
Labor Day has also come and gone. We usually think of Labor Day as the unofficial end to the summer season. It is a day, however, to reflect on human work and the important part it plays in our spiritual lives.
Through work we contribute to the advancement of science and technology and, above all, to the enrichment of our culture and the society within which we live.
Our individual lives are built up every day from work. It can also present many tensions and conflicts. How we deal with these stresses must emerge from our identity as disciples of Christ.
Work then must also be reflected in our spirituality. Through work, we come closer to God, the Creator and Redeemer as we participate in God's plan for us and the world. We share in the work of redemption and deepen our friendship with Christ by accepting, through faith, a living participation in His mission.
Therefore, Labor Day is a time to honor those from whom we have received so much through hard work. It is a time for us to reflect on how we can see the wonder of God in the work of our hands.
