Dear Fellow Travelers,
Welcome to the Dog Days! Hopefully, just pleasantly warm days this summer. I am so happy to see your engagement in worship and study. The relaxation and fun of summer can be a great time to reflect on what is really important in life.

Our series on Revelation continues through July. Instead of being a book of fear, it reveals so much about us and our lives. Like a summer blockbuster movie, it is often fun and fascinating. Bible Study will continue to meet after worship for a sermon discussion.

The fun will continue in July with Games Night on July 8 and Amy’s baby shower on July 9 after worship. Mostly we get to just enjoy each other during this beautiful time of the year.

Please tell your friends and family about our Online Streaming Worship. Please go to the www.epc-pcusa.org website for the latest links.
 
​This is what I am planning for worship in June.

Sunday, July 2nd. These are “Beasty Days.” The book of Revelation gets heavy. I have been talking mostly about the reasons why Revelation was included in the Bible and who the original readers were. This week I will dive into the 4 interpretations of the Beasts, Dragons, and 666. This will equip you for all those wild interpretations that people push on Revelation.

Sunday, July 9th. In “Bowls of Wrath – The Lord of Dance” I will explore the role of anger in scripture. We are often given an image of a wrathful father in God. Understanding this projection can help us understand why we feel this way and how Jesus invites us to dance along with him.

Sunday, July 16th. I’m a patriotic person and believe in the self-correcting greatness of America. I believe this comes through seeing ourselves as we really are for the good and the bad. In “Bablyon’s Legacy of Exploitation” I will explore how Revelation shows that Babylon lives in us today.

Sunday, July 23rd. Phew! We are going to take a few weeks break from Revelation and about the Bible is a living document. In “Living Bibles” you will see how God’s revelation is constantly changing and how the Bible interpretation changes every generation. We are living in the most exciting era of Bible studies.

Sunday, July 30th. We round out the month with the comforting message of “Nothing Can Separate Us.” We are created for attachment and love. Song of Solomon shows us images of romantic love. Ruth shows us familial love. Romans 8 shows us how God’s love will never leave us.

Please consider joining us for sermon discussion after worship this summer!

It is a joy to serve God with you! I am thrilled to see what’s next for us.
Grace and Peace, Pastor Rob
