Upcoming Worship Themes
August 1, Holy Communion. “Our Life Blood,” Mark 14:22-25. The summer sermon series, Detective Stories from the Bible draw to a close this month. On this Sunday we follow clues to the meaning of Jesus’ metaphor of giving the substance of life, blood, for a new covenant between God and humanity, and how that is reflected through our lives.
August 8, Benevolence Sunday. “Joseph the Dreamer,” Matthew 1:16-24; 2:13-15, 19-23. A young carpenter had three of the most important dreams in the history of the human race, even greater than the dreams of his namesake in ancient Israel. What a profound influence one has when following up on God-inspired dreams!
August 15, “The Love Strategy,” John 3:16-17, 1 Corinthians 13. Love is always quite mysterious, whether the love is that of romance, of family, of friendship, of school, or of country. We will explore biblical clues as to the nature, the reason, and the purpose of God’s love for humanity.
August 22, “Time. And Time Again,” Galatians 3:27-4:7. Time is an important factor in every mystery story. But always, time matters to the writers of the Bible. It is one of the factors of life which humans are obsessed with!
August 29, Infant Baptism & Blessing of School Bags/Backpacks. “The Man of Opportunity,” Ephesians 1:3-14. When the entertainment industry gives out its annual awards they always include recognition for the best supporting actor or actress – a person whose minor role contributed to the success of the story told on stage or on the screen. We take heart because God has a role for each person to play in God’s story!
