Alum's Congregation Shares in God's Bounty
God’s bounty can sometimes overwhelm us. In Luke 5, Jesus finds Simon cleaning his nets after a day without a single catch. Jesus orders Simon to return and cast his nets into the deepest waters. He obeys Jesus and reels in an over-abundance of fish. So many in fact, the boats begin to sink. In church we read this story as part of the disciples’ call. The fishermen leave their boats, nets and fish to follow Jesus. Those fishermen certainly received God’s bounty, but not without a struggle. When the fish came in and the boats began to sink, it looked as if their livelihood would go down with them.

Too many pews were empty on Sundays. The congregation wasn’t fully tithing to the synod. Community outreach was non-existent. They, like Simon cleaning his nets, were just trying to survive.
