FROZEN WATERS

In God's providence, our city is named Tacoma. This Native American name means "snow covered mountain," referring of course to looming Mt. Tahoma (Rainier) on our southeastern horizon.

Now, a snow-covered mountain is the water reservoir for its region. I believe that Tacoma is an immense reservoir of spiritual waters (think John 7.38), but the snows must be melted for the water to nourish the thirsty of our county and beyond (see Isaiah 32.1,2).

Our Pierce Pastors have begun to pray that the radiance of Christ's presence will melt the ice that locks away the spiritual assets of Tacoma, and that we would become the source of living water He intends us to be.
