Pastor Trudy's Message

Preaching Text: Isaiah 6:1-13

Isaiah has an experience of God's presence. Then God wonders, "Who will go on my behalf?" Isaiah says "Here I am, send me." So many people describe experiences of God to me and I have had some of my own. My wondering is how often does my personal experience become a motivator for me to go into the world on God's behalf?

Good and gracious God, thank you for the moments we are able to experience your presence. May our gratitude propel us to say 'yes' to all the places you send us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
