Good Thursday Afternoon, Everyone!
Right now, if you are real quiet, you can hear the hustle and bustle of choir members packing their bags and getting ready for their big weekend at Lake Junaluska. They are quite excited to go for a weekend of retreat, relaxation, and rejoicing! Our prayers are with all of those who are going. We pray for a safe trip, a spirit-filled weekend, and a safe return home.
HOWEVER, not ALL of us are going all retreat, so we promise to have a great worship service this weekend!! We plan to introduce a new song to you, written by Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, entitled "You Don't Love God, If You Don't Love Your Neighbor." Many thanks to Jeff Knight and Anita Knight who helped us with the accompaniment. Here's a sample of what you will here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMPZ-hvwqwg
Also, the worship service for Sunday will focus on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 22. He teaches a lawyer (and us) that the two greatest commandments are LOVE GOD and LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. Jesus quotes two verses from the Old Testament... Deuteronomy 6:4 and Leviticus 19:18. It is interesting of the 600 laws in the Torah, these are the two. Deut. 6:4 would be pretty obvious for any good Pharisee, but Leviticus 19:18 is a little obscure, hidden in the fine print. We will talk about how Jesus lifting this text to the forefront of the Torah shapes how we live as Christ's Disciples.
We will also unveil your answers to the question asked last week... "Where have you seen God in the life and Glencoe, and what difference did it make in the community." You will be impressed with your answers, and it will help us shape our future.
Attached is the bulletin for Sunday so you can see other announcements for the coming week.
Prayer Request Update....
Kay Tingen remains at Moses Cone
Amelia Friddle is at home continuing her chemo treatment.
See you Sunday!
In Christ,
Pastor Ed
