"Did You Hear the One About the Lousy Farmer?"
This Sunday Rev. Jim Warren will tell us the parable of the sower in our "Did You Hear the One About..." sermon series. The scripture passage is Matthew 13:3-9.
The farmer seems to sow his seeds carelessly. His seeds land everywhere, but only some fall where they are able to grow. What does this tell us about how God spreads God's love?
Jim will be preaching at both our traditional service at 9:00 a.m. and our progressive service at 10:15 a.m. Music will be inspiring at both services. Of note is that our new band member (vocalist and guitarist), Mitchell, will be performing for the first time with the One and All band. Let's all attend and give him a warm, lively welcome!
Don't forget! As always you can enjoy fellowship and donut holes in the Centrum after the first service, and a light breakfast in Fellowship Hall during the 10:15 One and All service.
Gifts for Another Table:
In the month of July we are collecting items for the Regional Alternative School. Suggestions are:
shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, lotion, Chapstick, diapers
