Celebrating our 30th Anniversary...1989-2019

This is an exciting time!
“Jesus said, But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” Luke 6.27
If you’re game, then read the whole passage for this Sunday, which is Luke 6.27-38, and consider how incredibly difficult, if not truly impossible, it is to live by the Golden Rule and to love our neighbor as ourself. At least apart from Christ it’s impossible. If we’re connected to God and His sacrificial love for us, which is the model for our love of our neighbor, then we have the ability to love as we’ve been loved.
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”
--
Jim Elliot’s journal entry.
To hear the story of someone who lived the Golden Rule, read the book “Through Gates of Splendor” by Elizabeth Elliot.
My office hours: Thurs., Feb. 21 in the afternoon. Next week: Tues., Wed. And Thurs. afternoons.
The Rev. Dawn Vukich+

No experience necessary!
Thursdays
at 6:00 p.m.
From Adam and Eve to Abraham and Jacob, we’ve seen how God uses profoundly imperfect people in his plan. Now we’ll discuss Joseph and how he views his brothers, their schemes against him, and the hand of God. As our study guide suggests, I encourage you to find a comfortable place and read Genesis chapters 37-50 and you’ll be ready for our discussion!
Tuesdays
at noon
We’re getting a head start on our Lenten study of the book,
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
." If you’ll read up to page 73 (its a very easy read!) we’ll be in great shape. This is an amazing story of one man's search for truth and journey into Christianity as he examines the deity of Christ, the crucifixion and the resurrection. It's perfect for Lent! If you asked me to buy you a book I have it. I’m happy to order more or you can go to the
link here
to order direct from Amazon.
