Raised & Renewing (Colossians 3:1-11)

Things need to be renewed all around us. Car registrations. Subscription services. Insurance. The list goes on. But it isn’t just stuff that needs renewing - so do we! This morning we celebrate our 60th Anniversary. What, exactly, are we celebrating? That God has used this congregation of believers to proclaim the certainty of the Resurrection and to facilitate the renewal that accompanies those who have been raised to live in Christ. Since God only brings about that ongoing renewal through Word and Sacrament, we pray that he continues to equip us to faithfully use them for generations to come.
