Our final installation of our "Overflowing" series will be presented this Sunday by Rev. Jim Warren. The sermon is called, "Honoring the Future," and will focus on the scripture passage II Corinthians 5:16-20. About the topic, Jim says, "God has entrusted the future to us, and we are stewards of what will be. As we care for those who will come after us, God's grace overflows into the lives of our children and children's children."
Come to the 9:00 traditional or 10:15 progressive service (One and All) to hear the sermon.
A men's ensemble will present a gift of music at the 9:00 service, and we will honor women for Mother's Day with a slideshow of photos you have submitted! Come to the 10:15 One and All progressive service to see the slideshow, as well, and to worship along with our band while enjoying a delightful spread of breakfast foods. One and All happens in Fellowship Hall every Sunday!
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:
The food pantries are always most appreciative of receiving these items. Needed this month for St. Vincent de Paul are: canned fruits & vegetables, cereal, soup, crackers, cookies, Hamburger Helper, and instant mashed potatoes.
