Instead of waiting for some executive order or for someone to tell us what to do, ask, "What can I/we do to make the world a better place at this moment?"

The hero is always at work, even when you can't see it.

Rev. Sarah Logemann encourages us to make ripples.

The Rev. Dr. Garrett Mostowski challenges us to lean on God in the present. God doesn't take us to the future and show us where today pays off. And He doesn't ruminate and hold us in a chamber of our past. God is with us today, asking us to trust Him.

Pastor Sarah Logemann revealed her excitement about flipping through "The Guinness Book of World Records" as a child during her "Time for the Child in Us All" segment earlier in the service.
