Dear Fellow Travelers,
Summer is here and we have many things planned. I will preach a series of sermons on Jeremiah through August. It will take some effort, but if you understand Jeremiah and where it sits in the Bible, you have a good understanding of the message and context of the whole Old Testament. Please take the journey with me. I promise that you will be enriched with a new understanding of the scriptures. Also, watch out for a “baby sprinkle” on June 29th. It will be great fun!
Bible Study is about C.S. Lewis’s “Reflections on the Psalms. Join us Sundays (11:30 AM in the Library and also on Zoom!) and Tuesdays (10 AM on Zoom) through June 22nd. Log in information is on the back of this newsletter. If you haven’t already, pick up a copy of the book and the leader guides in the sanctuary or online. Starting in July we will have weekly sermon discussions after worship
Games Night on the 2nd Saturday of each month continues. The next one is June14th at 7 PM. Men’s Group is very active. They meet at 9 AM on Saturday Mornings. Women’s Association meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 11:30AM either at Pancake Haus or at the church.
This is what I am planning for worship in June.
Sunday, June 1st. King Josiah was the most important king you may not know much about. In “Introducing Jeremiah” I will show how Jeremiah’s relationship with King Josiah set the stage for nearly half of the whole Old Testament.
Sunday, June 8th. This is Pentecost Sunday! The Holy Spirit is our constant companion and guide. The people lost their way and needed to see how this hurt God. Described as “The Wild Vine” their faithlessness needed to be told in stark terms. God’s purpose and goals were revealed by Jeremiah.
Sunday, June 15th. “Peace, Peace, When There is No Peace” is a good description of the world have lived in for generations. Jeremiah lived in similar times. We are called to not be conformed to this age, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds in Christ.
Sunday, June 22nd. "There is a balm in Gilead" is an African American spiritual from the early 19th century. With a strange name and reference, it was a great comfort. In a time of so much hopelessness, the hope of healing in the Lord brings comfort like nothing else. It is about the hope for freedom. In “No Balm in Gilead” I show how Jeremiah’s hard truth-telling gives us the hope for a better future.
Sunday, June 29th. Rev. David Hackett will preach an inspiring message. We will take a little break from Jeremiah but continue again July.
It is a joy to serve God with you! I look forward to worshipping with you in June!
Grace and Peace, Pastor Rob
