This Sunday Rev. Jim Warren will preach from II Corinthians again, and the topic is "Honoring the Body of Christ." The scripture passage is II Corinthians 4:5-7. Being a good steward of the gospel of Jesus Christ means, in part, sharing it. As we share the gospel, God's grace overflows into the lives of others.
Come to the 9:00 traditional or 10:15 progressive service (One and All) to hear Jim's sermon.
In addition to the outstanding teaching, we will hear exceptional music at both the 9:00 and the 10:15 services. At the 9:00 service, our gift of music will feature soloist Sara Caligiuri. At the 10:15 progressive One and All service, sing along with the new song, "Old Church Choir" -- it's sure to be a toe-tapper! Arrive a few minutes early to grab a bite to eat in Fellowship Hall as you worship!
Our Congregational Meeting, at which we will elect officers and ministry stewards, will begin at 10:00 a.m. YOUR vote is needed, so please gather in the sanctuary for this important meeting.
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:
Items brought to church during April will be given to The Boys & Girls Club. If you have not participated yet, please do, so that we can help this group. The following items are needed: tall white kitchen garbage bags, 55 gallon garbage bags, toilet paper, latex gloves, band aids, zip lock bags, and quality ice cube trays.
