Honored Guests With Us for Worship This Sunday
This Sunday we are honored to have two guests from Egypt with us in worship, the Pastor of our sister church in Cairo, El Talbiya, and his daughter. Pastor Abdalmissah Yaqob and Bassma arrive in Richmond this week. He will depart after a week, but Bassma will stay for a couple of months to join in our church's life and learn English.
This Sunday Pastor Abdalmissah will be joined by our friend from Richmond, Pastor Fakhri Yacoub. He is Pastor of the Christian Arabic Church, and has been instrumental in our relationship with our sister church in Egypt. Fakhri, Abdalmissah, and Keith will have a three way conversational sermon on how the Gospel is good news for Muslim people.

Featuring the Talented Ladies in Our Office
Have you ever wondered why St. Giles has so many attractive displays and web pages? Most of it is due to two very talented ladies who work in our office: Lynn Thomas and Lia Walton.
We just learned about some of the ways they are making beauty beyond our walls too. Just below is the link to Lynn's website, featuring the many sorts of beauty she creates. And the website's beauty itself is due to Lia, who designed it for Lynn as a final project for Lia's degree, just awarded by VCU.
Congrats to both of you ladies! Thanks for adding beauty to our lives here at St. Giles in so many ways.

Are You Ready for Some Football?!
It's a little bit early to be talking football, but James Thomas and Keith Hill are planning to go to Washington to the Raiders and Redskins game on Sunday evening, September 24. It looks like decent tickets can be had for under $100. Before they buy tickets tomorrow, who else would like to go? Send a note or call the church office or Keith by May 24 if you'd like to be in on the group ticket purchase (no big price break, but we can sit together).

Sunday Morning Adult Discipleship Classes [May 28-July 2]
The Prodigal God by Tim Keller
In this six-session small group Bible study, pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller uses one of Jesus' best-loved parables - the Prodigal Son - to illustrate the depth of God's love and how his grace extends into some very unexpected places. Taking you beyond the traditional focus on the wayward younger son, Keller helps you glean insights from each of the characters in Jesus' parable: the irreligious younger son, the moralistic elder son, and the Father who lavishes his love on both. This class provides a video, discussion, and exercises that will help you experience the truths of Jesus' parable in your own life. Whether you're a devout believer or a skeptic,
The Prodigal God
will challenge you to see Christianity in a whole new way.
The Prodigal God
is a revelation of the very heart of the gospel: God's radical love for sinners of every kind. Find your place at the table!
9:30 AM: Meets in Robins Room, facilitated by Bill Sneddon, Jo White, and Emily Masloff
11 AM: Meets in Upstairs Adult Classroom, facilitated by Nathaniel Lyle, Marci Meeks, and Bill and Bev Walters.
