Beloved sisters and brothers in Christ!
The months in 2021 seem to be passing by quickly. But I wonder if we want to quickly forget the past. You see, Winter is gone, Spring is here and so will Summer quickly be here. As we strive through a pandemic and celebrate Mother’s Day this month, I pray that each of you will live longer in good health to remember, recognize, and celebrate a woman in your life. As you do, take time to look at and smell the flowers that are blooming. This might give us a glimpse or a reminder that even after all the not-so-good things of life, joy comes. But most of all it teaches us a valuable lesson in patience and the power of a mother’s love. As I think about patience, I am reflecting on Isaiah 40:31 that states, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."(KJV). In this piece of scripture, does not hope comes alive like a plant that has seemed dead all winter? Well, to come alive requires faith, humility, meekness, and other Christian disciplines. But most of all it requires patience. I am reminding each of us that to wait upon the Lord means planting a seed of faith, nourishing and waiting for a plant to grow. Like many beloved women, mothers do a lot of important jobs in the world as they plant and nurture seeds of faith. This is valuable and they have patience while doing so. Hence, this month we will be celebrating not just mothers, but all women. Tributes will be to all women who have children, those women who have made countless sacrifices, those who never had children of their own but have been a mother in the lives of many by their presence, caring, loving, teaching, nurturing, and mentoring. Hence, we can give thanks to all women in our families, churches, communities, nations, and the world. As we do, think about many other roles they have taken on and continue to take on to make the world a better place as Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ did. Watch the flowers blooming but also look out for the new generation of children blooming because of a diverse group of mothers’ touches. Have a Blessed Mother’s Day and thanks to Women everywhere!

Our youth are busy - with mission work, fun and fellowship activities and growing in faith. Youth Fellowship meets most weeks - either after worship for lunch, fellowship and a program or for a specific special event at another time. See the calendar for the complete schedule and check our our MYF page for pictures and more information.
Bingxin Xu received his master of science degree from Cornell University and moved to Natick, with his wife Tian Zhang, right after his graduation in 2012. They feel blessed to settle down in Natick and Fisk Church, and felt called to be Fisk's Youth Fellowship Leaders in 2015. They are looking forward to leading and growing up along with the youth.
