Sermon Series: 29 Days of Giving

During this season of Lent, we are focusing on the spiritual discipline of giving and how we can give to God in response to what God has given to us.  We will be reading a book, 29 Gifts, and encouraging every adult, youth, and child to give something to another every day for 29 days.  We are also encouraging everyone to take note of God's blessings each and every day.  This time will culminate April 10th with our Commitment Weekend and the giving of our gifts of service and giving to God through this church. 

March 26/27: REMEMBER TO SHARE

Luke 22:14-20 

The act of eating together cemented Jesus' fellowship with his disciples, the crowds, and the outcasts in Galilee on various occasions, and Luke more than any other gospel emphasizes the meal scenes of Jesus' ministry. By eating with the outcasts, Jesus had tangibly demonstrated his solidarity with them. He had received from them and given to them, he had publicly crossed the social barriers that divided the righteous from the outcasts, and he had physically embodied the love of God for the despised.

The experience of the Lord's Supper spans the breadth of God's love; the depth of Jesus' sufferings; and the past, present, and future of God's mighty acts. The challenge for the believer is not that we grasp the full potential of its meaning but that we open ourselves to the full extent of its power to change us. What then shall we do after we eat together? Give of ourselves for others for the glory of God. 

Come and join us this weekend.  Bring a friend.   

Blessings,
