| Worship with us, June 7, 9:30am. Join us in person or on our YouTube channel. Pastor Erick will be preaching on the Gospel of Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26 Upcoming Worship Helpers June 7, 9:30 am Greeters/ Ushers: Rainy Gibbens, LaRee Allen and Marriah Allen Reader: Troy Gwinner Sound/ Screen/ Streaming: Jacque Mohs Musician: Clarice Blanchard Counters: Lisa Vossekuil and Jen Acton Communion Server: Ken and Janelle Kroska Communion Bread: Rainy Gibbens Acolytes/ Crucifer: Devotions from God Pause: When Gloria walks through the church door on a Sunday morning, she brings a smile and a hug. I can’t help but feel encouraged by her joyful greeting. Rain or shine, she reflects the radiant love of Jesus. Maybe some of you are old enough to have written or received letters that were marked with x’s for kisses and o’s for hugs. Paul’s closing words of blessing to the Corinthians seem to be all x’s and o’s to me. Kissing may not be appropriate in a modern setting, but the sentiment is clear: love one another. Treat each other with honor and respect. You are not alone. Others are holding you up as well. We are made for community. When we come to worship, we experience the presence of the risen Jesus reflected in other faces. When we seek peace, the God of peace is with us. The Holy Spirit gathers us into one body and we are restored. Brave with the breath of God, we stand together. Sunday Bible Study: Bible Study will meet at 11:00 a.m. following morning worship in the classroom near the church office. We invite questions, comments, and connections, as we expand upon the readings from the worship service. |
