I am in aw.

 
 
 
 I am in aw. My first post to this Blog was on January 6, 2013, the first Sunday of 2013. I am amazed at how many people have found interest in Thurmont Church of the Brethren, and the preaching of God's message.  
As of this date, 601 pages have been viewed, mostly done so on the weekends. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Our church community may listen, a second time, to Sundays sermon. Those that could not come to the church building on Sunday, may listen for the first time. The "Snow Birds", living south for the winter, may view events and listen to their home church sermon.
The message is also reaching beyond our little church community. Some may stumble upon us by accident, and if they listen to the message, I do not know. Some do listen, and return, like the person from Germany. It is amazing how the word of God, preached from Thurmont, Maryland, is reaching around the globe to Germany.
Many come here via thurmontchurchbrethren.blogspot.com. Some have found us via Facebook or Google+. Others may just web search something, and find us.
No matter how or why people find this blog, I hope the message of God is heard and enjoyed through the words of Pastors Linda, Becky, Steve, and Joanne.
This blog is another way to serve our purpose of "Making Christ Known, Loved, and Obeyed as God Equips and Empowers Us."
 
 
 FYI: Look for  Sundays new posts later on Sunday evenings.
P.S.- In the past 26 hours, since I first posted this Blog page, there have been 26 page views of our Blog.
I am still in aw.

Judges 19:1-30

 
Todays sermon is most likely the most bizarre story in the Bible.
It is a doozy, and not for children.
A link is above, so you may read along as Linda reads about the Levite and his Concubine.

The Life of Stephen



Linda preached from Acts 6:1-15 and Acts 7:55-59,
the story of Stephen, and how he was
AT ONE WITH GOD.
 
The complete story of Stephen can be found in Acts 6:3 - Acts 8:2.
He is also mentioned in Acts 11:19 & Acts 22:20.







After the service, a Souper Bowl Lunch offered by our youth, serving 3 delicious soups, grilled cheese sandwiches and a yummy assortment of desserts.

Experiencing God's Presence

This was today's sermon. Linda was powerful with her
text from the Bible and her personal experiences.
Made me think about my life with Christ,
and his presence with me.
 
Breath on me, Breath of God.

Sorrow Looks Behind; Worry Looks Around; Faith Looks Ahead

 

 

Todays service is lead by Pastor Joanne Gaver, and it is all about faith.
 
Today was also the first 3rd Sunday Childrens Sermon.
 They enjoyed puppet ministry and treated the congregation with a song
at the end of the service. Here is the video.
