Family, faith, and future generations

Using Abraham as the enduring example of faith in God and his promises, Barbara Moyer Lehman, associate pastor, asked her congregants how they are telling their stories of faith, especially to their children. "Who are your people, what are your roots," she asked. "Will the next generation know our stories of faith, of God giving life out of death, fruitfulness out of barrenness?" She related how she recently purchased "Grandmother's Books" for her own granddaughters and told how she plans to record her own story of faith, the difficult times, the times of doubt and how she turned to God for direction and comfort.
