St. Patrick Didn't Drink Green Beer!

This week we will honor a great missionary ... in an odd way!

St. Patrick was so passionate about sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ that he returned to Ireland, where he had been captured into slavery as a youngster - you can learn about about his real story here.

Here is a guy that took risks - and boldly proclaimed the truth of God's amazing grace!

I still find it odd that a tradition has developed in our country to celebrate the life of a great missionary by consuming large quantities of green beer!

Now, I'm not trying to "kill the fun" of St. Patrick's Day - but I would encourage you to join me and "take some risks" to share the news of God's amazing grace with the people you are around on St. Patrick's Day! (Even if they've consumed large amounts of green beer!)

Let's go from "green" to "grace" this year!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
