How will you be remembered?

How will we — the congregation of Woodridge United Methodist Church — be remembered?

 To paraphrase the world’s biggest, best musical: “Who tells our story? Will they tell our story?”

 Granted, these type of questions tend to get asked after a death — and WUMC is not dead or dying! But a little introspection is good for the soul:

• Who do we want to be?
• In what ways are we living up to who we want to be?
• In what ways are we not? How might we change those ways?

 To answer those questions, perhaps we can take a cue from this week’s gospel lesson from John 21. It’s another delightfully weird story that also manages to be poignant and insightful…even in the context of fixing and sharing a meal.

Identity, story, death, resurrection, impact, and moms: that’s a lot of strings, but Pastor Dave will attempt to pull them all together in his sermon, “Making Breakfast, Leaving Legacies”.

"Experiences help us understand God (She/He) is strong and powerful and nurturing and protective. Mother's Day started in 1858 to commemorate the memory of a Mother who cared for a community in need." - Anonymous
