Series: Meeting God in the Ordinary

Sermon: Eating Leftovers and Being Fed by God

Scripture: John 6:25-35

Inspired by the book, Liturgy of the Ordinary; Sacred Practices in Everyday Life by Tish Harrison Warren, we will spend the ordinary days of summer considering ordinary acts in which we engage in an ordinary day and how they invite us into spiritual practices that grow and deepen our connection with God. From making our bed and losing our keys to eating leftovers and fighting with our spouse, we will see what these simple, ordinary moments of our lives can teach us about worship and the life of faith.

Though it is not necessary, if you would be interested in following along by reading the book, you may contact Pastor Kim if you would like her to order a copy for you. The church will provide a physical or digital copy. Those who wish may make a donation to cover the cost. Click here to find more information on the book or order a copy on your own.

Gathering of Spirits - August 14

Join us at 5:45 pm at Windsor Browns for a time when our spirits encounter God’s Spirit in spirited discussion on wide ranging topics.

Congregational Meeting - August 18

We will have a brief meeting following Worship to vote on a minor change to the terms of the sale of the Calvin School Building.

Due to the prolonged process of receiving city approvals it has been necessary to create an amendment (click here to read the amendment) to extend escrow. There is one significant change from the original Purchase and Sale Agreement and that is that the $10,000 rent that we receive from the school from August to December will be applied to the purchase price. 

Sunday Lunch Bunch - August 25

Anyone who wishes is invited to join in going out to lunch following worship. We will be meeting at the Good Food Hall.

Please consider making a special donation toward Per Capita.

As part of a connectional church we pay per capita apportionment per member to support the work of the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This year the amount is $40.65 and will be divided between Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. Every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC (USA)'s system of government, so every Presbyterian is asked to share the expenses associated with coordinating and performing the functions of that system. Please consider making this special offering, You may add it to your regular offering, but please make a note that the donation includes an offering to per capita.

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
