Dear Friends,
“Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.”
Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote these words, which translate to “the more things change, the more they stay the same” in 1849. And what do you know, they’re still right. Change is a reality in our world and in our lives, even in our faith and in the church. But through the inevitability of change, many things do, in fact, stay the same.
This truth is at the heart of our summer sermon series, First Century Stories for 21st Century Living, which kicks off this weekend. Throughout the summer, we’ll make our way through the story of the early church as it comes to us in the book of Acts. Peering back 2000 years into the highs and the lows of the first community of Christ-followers, we’ll consider what has changed, and what stays the same.
As the song goes, we’ll start at the very beginning… with Acts 1:1-9. I hope you’ll join us at 8:45 in the chapel, by livestream or in the sanctuary at 9:30 or 11, or for our family service in the Fellowship Hall at 11.
Have a good weekend, and I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
