An update from the pastors, Thursday July 22:
Dear Salford family,
The apostle Paul often worked in settings in which he had people who had conflicting needs. In the church at Rome, there were vegetarians and meat-eaters in the same church, there were Jews who kept sabbath, and Gentiles who did not. There were older persons with one set of needs and young persons with quite another.
Paul’s call to the church was for each group to sometimes forego its own desires for the sake of the needs of others. “We do not live to ourselves,” Paul said, “and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord and if we die, we die to the Lord; so whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.”
Our present context at Salford is different than that of the Roman church, yet it is not so different. In this summer when many, but not all, have been vaccinated, we have conflicting, yet real needs as a church. We have planned for several outdoor services in order to offer families with unvaccinated children an opportunity to meet safely in person for worship. Yet outdoor worship on uneven ground is difficult for members who feel unsteady in walking. On other Sundays, indoor worship can be enjoyed by vaccinated adults, but not by children whose parents are cautious for their children’s safety.
Friends, this is an excellent time to practice loving forbearance! Until such time as we can all meet together safely, there will be weeks when the needs of our children may take precedence; there will be weeks when our physically challenged friends take precedence. And God will be pleased by our sacrificial love for one another. “We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves.” Let the church be the church in love.
- Pastors Dave Greiser, Maria Hosler Byler, Beth Yoder and Dorcas Lehman
