Pastor Laura Early began All God's Children 20 years ago and now she and this work is woven into the fabric of Aulander. She is a self-described rebel, mystic follower of Jesus. Her reflective, powerful presence lives out her conviction that, "Ministry is not about what you do, but about who you love!"
The Place of Possibilities is a gym building with classrooms and a stage that house the six week summer literacy program and so much more for kids who need love and support in the community. Miss Laura recounted building this facility 6 years ago as she told the story of God moving through relationships in the community.
In all the places I have gone are the constants of listening to God, serving with abandon, and radically following Jesus. Each has a bit of the spirit of not quite fitting in the boxes (systems) around them and a sense of joy where ever God takes them.
None of the places or ministries is the same. Many personalities, perspectives and patterns, yet all with the constants of listening, serving, and following. Both the uniqueness and that similarities are freeing. God is bigger that each of us, uses each of us, and grace abounds.
That corn dog, a "pancake" corn-dog, was a part of the summer feeding program through the school. I wasn't brave enough to try it. I am emboldened by the testimony of the saints of All God's Children--Place of Possibilities, to try whatever God goes on this trip and in Palmyra. How about you?
By the way, what have you been noticing with God... the Mission Hub.... beyond?
