The Lord (pt. II)
Good Wednesday to you!
Well, that was quite a Sunday! I happy to report that both Jody and I tested negative for COVID-19 yesterday. I am now "free to roam about" and plan on being physically present this coming Sunday! I must give a shout out to Pastor John, our Sound Technician, Thomas Ritz, and our Youth Ministry students, Caroline Chesnut, Nathan Kostenko, and Natalie Mosier, who made it all possible. I can now tick that experience off the list!
I still think wrapping our minds around the concept of an Infinite, All Powerful, All Knowing, All Seeing, Eternal, and Unchanging God who loves us is overwhelming. This is who God has revealed Himself to be! God is the loving Father, who dwells in the immaterial world. We have access! The invitation is extended for us to crawl up on His "lap," call Him Father, and learn from Him. I pray we take full advantage of the opportunity given to us to "Know Christ and make Christ known!"
On Sunday we will take a step back and look at "a man who was sent from God. His name was John...” (John 1:6). What does it mean to be "sent from God?" Whom does God send? Why does God send? Is God sending you and me? We will look at this questions as we focus on John 1:6-18. (Eventually, we will get out of the first chapter of John's Gospel, but there is so much good stuff in there, and I do not want to leave too much behind!)
If you have not RSVP’d for the dinner after annual congregational meeting, please do so. The meeting is at 6:00pm, January 28th, with dinner to follow. We need to let the caterer know how many to expect. Thanks for taking care of this sooner than later.
Have a safe and healthy day. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible this coming Sunday!
Grace and peace,
Pastor David
