Pass It On

Redemption

Whatever stands between you and God can be overcome. No matter what sin or fear or guilt or sense of failure or doubt or shame or physical, mental or emotional pain has kept you apart from God, whatever obstacle has gotten in the way, it need no longer separate you from the love of the One who created you and redeemed you and cherishes you as the ‘apple of his eye.’

It's a kitchen cleaning PARTY!

It's past Spring but not quite Fall so we'll just call this event a cleaning party.

Come One, Come All -
Our Coffee Host Ministry will meet at 8:30 a.m. in the Guild Room this Saturday morning to plan for the upcoming season and we will provide a training for all new hosts at 9:30 a.m. in the kitchen.

We invite all parishioners to join us at 10:00 a.m. to make cleaning our kitchen a short and simple task.

As the saying goes many hands makes light work. And who knows you may find that casserole dish that has been missing for several months! We'll have the coffee going and some light treats and that plus all of you of course is what makes it a PARTY! We plan to be walking out the door by 12noon.

Let's show our support for all of the wonderful events that come out of our kitchen and prepare for many more this coming year.

See you Saturday!

Truth

Religious bio-diversity may help us to embrace a certain religious modesty, realizing that the full truth is beyond anything a text could convey, beyond anything a human mind can comprehend.

Pass It On

Kindness

I suspect that the seemingly small, ordinary kindnesses of our lives are magnified greatly in God’s design. We remember the story of the widow’s mite and the stories of the loaves and fishes. What seems like little to us may amount to a great deal in God’s economy.

Messy Church from a Mountain Top View

This week we are honored to host Jorel Carte from Haiti as part of our Messy Church Celebration.  Jorel will be participating in a theme called Bible Mountains. He is currently a mission team coordinator for the Lutheran Church of Haiti; previously he worked for the Village of Hope.

He is a vocal and accordian musician and leads several bands and choirs in Haiti. Jorel's wife Guerline is accompanying him on her first trip to the U.S. and will also join us Wednesday evening.

They have four children, ages 14,13,9, and 3 years. Jorel will share his story of growing up in the mountains of Haiti and all that his country views the protection of the mountains to be.

Join us in welcoming Jorel and his wife as we explore 'Bible Mountains' and the fellowship of Messy Church.

Jorel will also join the Harmony Band for our 10:00 a.m. Contemporary Service in the Parish Hall.

Heart

We cannot speak peaceful words if there is no peace in our hearts. We cannot offer life-giving words unless the Divine life is within us, ready to be offered to others. We cannot speak with compassion and love unless these virtues are actually growing in our own hearts
