Made Into His Image

What a wonderful day for a baptism! Three baptisms are even better. 

Cora Rae Jackson, Dameon Conrad, and Bill Caputo were all baptised today.

Back, Just in time for Easter

 



I am so sorry that I have neglected this BLOG.

Life has been a challenge these past few months.

 I have caught up to April 6th.

Enjoy.

Merry Christmas

Linus Christmas Monologue

This Sunday, December 22, 2013, we had our traditional two services. Sylvia Thomas and Becky Henry gave us the signs of Christmas, including the call to worship from Luke 2:8-14. 

Then we enjoyed our evening Candlelight Service with the message from Linda Lambert. She had a lot of help with several readings, a youth skit, and all the music. 

The true meaning of Christmas is the love of Jesus Christ. 

The Best is Yet to Come

Joel 2: 23-32

We were blessed to have Melva Witmer as our worship leader on Sunday. She did an exceptional job.

We were also blessed to have Becky Henry give us a thoughtful sermon from
the scripture of Joel 2: 23-32.

Jesus, Our High Priest

August 18, 2013 was a terrific sermon by Becky Henry, inspired by Hebrews 10:19-25.
I apologize to her for not getting a blog post done last week. Sometimes a busy life gets in the way.

Hebrews 10:19-25 (NIV)

A Call to Persevere in Faith

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, ²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, ²⁵ not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Put On Your Christian Clothes

Happy Mothers Day!

     I have always loved this song. Growing up in the Lutheran church in the late 1960's and 1970's, we would sing it often. We also sang it at the Lutheran summer camp where I worked for two summers. This is a terrific feel good song. 

     The song reminds me of Colossians 3:15-17

¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.And be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

     Becky Henry gave us a wonderful sermon from Colossians 3: 1-17, about how we should wear our "Christian Clothes".

Our Inheritance

What a friend we have in Jesus.

 

Psalm 16 ~ New King James Version (NKJV)

  

Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

² O my soul, you have said to the Lord,
“You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”
³ As for the saints who are on the earth,
“They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

⁴ Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god;
    Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.

⁵ O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
⁶ The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

⁷ I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
⁸ I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
¹⁰ For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
¹¹ You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy;
     At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
 

 

The Power of God's Love

 

 

 

Pastor Becky Henry shared God's word with the scripture from Ephesians 3:14-21.

 

May the power of God's love be with one and all.
