Games, Races and Ice Cream! Gather at St. Luke’s at 4pm then we’ll walk to the park together for soccer, races and ice cream making! Bring a lawn chair. What we win is fun and friendship; the gold of the Kingdom that never fades.
You’ve all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You’re after one that’s gold eternally.
I don’t know about you, but I’m running hard for the finish line. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No lazy living for me! I’m staying alert and in top condition. I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (The Message)
