"What Defiles, What Defines?"
Deuteronomy 4:1-9 Mark 7:1-23(Click on Scripture Passage)
I've gotta tell ya. I am really glad to see theGospel of Mark. After 5 weeks of Bread ofLife, eat my flesh, drink my blood, Jesus inJohn's Gospel it feels like we are beingreunited with an old friend.
Of course, that doesn't mean the Jesus ofMark is any easier to deal with. He is back tosticking it to the religious folks of his day inlanguage that can only make us squirm a bit.
In verse 9 he says “You have a fine way ofrejecting the commandment of God in orderto keep your tradition!" Ouch!
Join us this Sunday at 10:30 AM as we lookat what defiles us, what defines us and howour best attempts to please God can missthe mark.
Blessings and peace,Blessings and peace,

Pastor’s Bib lePastor’s Bib leStudyStudy
Bible study willresume on Tuesday
The name “prayground” comes from Rev.Catherine Renken, pastor of KirkwoodPresbyterian Church in Kennesaw, GA whobrainstormed with others when the prayground atGrace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley, MN wasbeing built. The name has caught on!
Though different churches have put it in topractice in different ways, a prayground is aplace in the front of the sanctuary where youngchildren can experience worship through age-appropriate worship materials and tools that willhelp keep them engaged in worship.
Q. Why is ours a joyground?A. Just to be different. And because of the joyousexperience we can have worshipping togetheracross all generations. And, it's a nod to ourjoyground leader, Joy Fortenberry, who is excitedabout this new phase of ministry and will beinstrumental in its implementation.
