The topic of our "Overflowing" series sermon this Sunday is, "Honoring Ourselves." Rev. Jim Warren will preach from
Matthew 22:37-39. God has made us in God's image, and we are to be stewards of ourselves. As we care for ourselves, God's grace overflows in our lives. Come to the 9:00 traditional or 10:15 progressive service (One and All) to hear Jim's sermon.
The Handbell Choir will play at the 9:00 service! Come to the 10:15 One and All progressive service if you like a live band. Arrive a few minutes early to grab a bite to eat in Fellowship Hall as you worship!
With our theme of, "Honoring Ourselves," we have a related exercise or opportunity in the Centrum before first service (starting about 8:30) and again around 10:00. Artists will create a likeness of your profile with chalk on paper!
More about the
Overflowing series:
This series is based on a recently published Disciples of Christ stewardship study that looks at the many dimensions of stewardship. Our General Minister and President, Teri Hord Owens, introduces
Overflowing with these words, "
God's grace simply and abundantly overflows into our lives and hearts, particularly as we celebrate the great gift of Jesus' love this Easter season."
Gifts for Another Table:
This month please bring non-perishable food items for St. Vincent de Paul. Suggestions are canned fruits & vegetables, cereal, soup, crackers, cookies, Hamburger Helper, and instant mashed potatoes.
