“The Great Banquet”

Luke 14:15-24
Dear FUMC family,

  This Sunday, July 21st I will be preaching on Luke 14:15-24. In the 14th chapter of Luke, Jesus was invited to a Sabbath meal with the leader of the Pharisees. During this meal, Jesus told the parable of the great banquet. A man invited many to his feast but they all gave excuses. So he send a messenger to the highways and the byways inviting all to come. During all three services you will be invited to come to the Lord’s Table for Holy Communion. I hope that you will join us.

In Christ,
John

PS, PLEASE prayerful consider your financial giving to our church during the summer months. We need your help!
