I'm not sure who said it first, but it's true: "The opposite of faith isn't doubt, it's fear." As I walk further down this path of faith, I've come to believe a corollary is also true: "The opposite of faith isn't doubt, it's ingratitude." Gratitude and faith seem inextricably linked. Like a perfect polarity, our lives rise, fall, and turn on the double axis of faith and gratitude.
This weekend, we'll launch a mini sermon series on the shaping power of gratitude, and the health and vitality it can bring to our lives. I've had a lot of fun preparing, and I hope you'll find it helpful.
In addition, we're very fortunate to have a Bach Cantata woven into the fabric of our 11 a.m. traditional service. If you've been to the traditional service of late, you know the refined quality of our choral music. We'll have orchestral pieces joining us for what is sure to be a meaningful service.
Also, come prepared to enjoy our Mission Festival auctions after each service. It's a refreshed (shorter and more child-friendly) version of what we've done before with mini auctions at 10:45 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.
If you haven't been in a while, give it a try. Who knows, you might even bid on the special golf trip to Augusta or the houses at Pawleys Island, Hilton Head, Grandfather Mountain, and other great places.
You can see the whole list here.
