Month: May 2023

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the warmer days that are upon us. The plants started budding this week in Lake City and everything is looking greener. It’s that exciting time of year when summer folks start returning. We’re praying for your safe travels.

This Sunday, May 28, we’ll be celebrating Pentecost–the arrival of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts (don’t forget to wear something red). During the service this week, we’ll be exploring three lectionary passages that shed light on why the advent of the Holy Spirit is so significant for us today. You can read all three texts in the online downloadable Order of Worship below.

This Sunday, after the service we’ll also be having a special fellowship time in the Annex, where the participants from our Intergenerational Study of the Bible for Youth class will display their LEGO creations depicting the stories of the Old Testament. From the creation narrative to the Israelite’s exile in Babylon, you’ll see some of your favorite Old Testament stories like you’ve never seen them before. But wait… there’s more. We’ll also have a prototype of the timeline game that we’ve been playing this spring, and you can even play a game. Join us after Sunday’s service for this special fellowship open house.

Here are your announcements for the week.

Hey Everyone!

I hope you’re all well and enjoying the warmer weather. I’m writing you tonight from Santa Fe, where I’m picking Judah up tomorrow to come home for the summer. It’s amazing how fast time flies. Likewise, it’s also hard to believe that Eastertide is almost over.

This Sunday, May 21, will be the seventh Sunday of Easter and it’s also Ascension Sunday when we remember Jesus Christ’s ascension to sit at the right hand of the Father. Join us at 10:00am as we explore the gospel text in John 17:1-11. You can find that passage and the other lectionary passages in the printable online Order of Worship found below.

Beyond that, I’d like to invite you to connect to our weekly bible study where we dig around in various topics related to the Bible, faith, and Christian discipleship. This week, Wednesday May 17, we’ll be looking at the Image of God–what it is, how it affects us, and how it calls us to the fullest life possible.
