Quick! Before they're gone!!! Calling all "super shoppers"! Please look around for any Christmas cards still out in the stores. By now, they should be greatly reduced. They are needed for a Christmas Card Outreach to the homeless folks at The Stewpot next December. We will provide cards for them to send to their loved ones. We will also accept any Christmas cards you may have left over from years past. Thank you! Thank you!
Just a Thought
Faith makes it possible; it does not make it easy!
Join us throughout the season of Lent every Thursday at 7pm and with Class Menagerie Sunday morning during the Sunday School hour. We will be going through this Lenten study of Creed by Adam Hamilton. In this book for Lent, Easter, and beyond, Hamilton considers important questions of life, reality, and truth. He explores not only what Christians believe, but also why they believe it and why it matters. We’re all searching. Sometimes the search is easy: simply type a question and the answer pops up. But sometimes our questions are complicated, and the answers are difficult to see and harder to articulate. How do we discover and examine the truths that give meaning and purpose to life? Adam Hamilton believes that some powerful answers are contained in the Apostles’ Creed, an early statement of foundational Christian beliefs.
Most of us could be characterized as ordinary
people. We are living ordinary lives. It is
nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing
wrong with being ordinary. Ordinary is normal.
So, our lives are normal. We want food, shelter
and security for our families. We want health
for our children. We are ordinary.
Most of us feel, that since we are ordinary, we
are limited to doing ordinary, or mundane
things in our service to God. However, the
Bible is full of ordinary people. Ordinary people
who are used by God to accomplish
extraordinary things. What would cause us to
believe that God is no longer using ordinary
people to accomplish God’s work?
In this series, we will look at several ordinary
people in the Bible, and explore how God used them in extraordinary ways. The hope is that we will come to
realize that God will use us…ordinary people….to accomplish God’s extraordinary purposes.
