Gathering: Connect Week 2

We continued our study of Moses' life this week at FUSION Gathering!  In Exodus chapter 3, Moses comes upon the burning bush.  God calls Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, and Moses becomes almost frozen in fear and responds with something like "Who...me?!"  We realize that despite Moses' weaknesses, God promises to be with Moses and help him with this calling. 

To celebrate our strengths and weaknesses, we held the first annual Odd-Abilities Olympics where we used strange talents like catching popcorn in our mouths thrown to us by our partner, stacking and balancing markers on a table, and volleying a balloon back and forth without letting it touch the ground and without using our hands or arms!  Some of us were better at some of the challenges than others, but ultimately we each had unique skills and talents we may not have even realized prior to these Olympic games!

God has a calling for our lives too.  It may differ from person to person, but ultimately God calls us all to serve and help others.  We talked about various ways we can serve and help others right here in our own community.  To begin living into this calling we baked homemade chocolate chip cookies for a mission group who stayed next door at the Wesley foundation and had a homemade meal at our church Monday night!  How will you live into this calling from God on your life?
