Continuing This Sunday:  All Fired Up!

Last summer we joined Christ Pres. and Community West Churches in a cooperative preaching series, and it was so much fun we're doing it again for the first six weeks of this summer.  Our series this year is All Fired Up - the Church in the Power of the Spirit. The remaining Sundays, scripture passages, and preachers are:
  • June 25, 1 Sam. 19:23-24, Acts 2:12-13, 1 Cor. 14:40, Keith Hill
  • July 2, Ephesians 5:15-21, John Daniel (newly retired Pastor of Crestwood)
  • July 9, John 14:15-17,25-26, Sarah Marsh Schutte
The name of the series is our goal - that all three congregations would be Fired Up in the Power of the Spirit!



Project Underway in Our Egyptian Sister Church

One of our projects this year has been to help our sister church in Cairo, Egypt, build an elevator. They have six floors, with their sanctuary on the second floor, and a large preschool on the third to fifth floors. So they have been in dire need of an elevator.

This week they shared with great joy these pictures of the installation work. Soon their building will have this valuable resource, making their ministries all the more accessible. Thanks be to God! Let's be in prayer for our sister church, the El Taliyah Church, and their Pastor, Abdelmissah Tadros.

Open Fellowship - June
"A Celebration of America and the Gift of Freedom"

Special thanks to our own, John Harler, for the excellent program, honoring our veterans and celebrating the flag. 
Some of the comments after the program...

"It was so nice to attend a program where the veterans were promoted, the flag was promoted, the country was promoted. So much you hear about the country is negative." 

"I thoroughly enjoyed it. John always does a great job."

"That was great. There were over 40 people here. St. Giles loves a patriotic program!"

Sunday Morning Adult Discipleship Classes [Through 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.
