Hey Family,
We hope to see you on the grass this Sunday – or online if that’s best for you.
Last week I gave you Hostess Cupcakes at the end of the service. But now – after studying this week’s passage – I realize that that was a terrible mistake! : )
Bad…bad…bad…
I’ll explain why on Sunday as we explore a “pearl” of a passage, as Kurt described it. Here I am throwing the leftover box in the TRASH.
It’s also Pentecost Sunday, when we remember how King Jesus sent the Spirit down and fused us into a family and a team to take the gospel to all the people everywhere.
Let’s be that Spirit-united family and worship our one-in-three God.
“There is one body (that’s us) and one Spirit…one God…” (Eph. 4:4-6).
Lots of preparations are being made for our various services – I’m just checking out the 9 AM Q-sheet now. Sharon will do lyrics. Sam and Dave will play brass instruments. Bill will do sound. Peter will record. Dennis will work the camera. Dave and Diane will play organ and piano. Doumer will lead and Daniel will produce the whole thing.
And look, at 10:45 PM Doumer will lead. John and Paula will play. Frank will read Scripture and Jared will pray.
Liz did a fine little water color on the back of the notes to illustrate one of our verses. Thanks, Liz, for using your artistic gift!
And look, there’s YOUR NAME on the Q-sheet! It say: worshiper of God and encourager of others.
Now you know what you’re slotted to do on Sunday. : )
Please bring a friend and come up and introduce us after the service. I have a free book that relates to the message that I want to give him or her, regardless of their faith background.
I’ve read this book many times over the last thirty years and it never fails to put my heart at rest.
