December 18: Advent Four – Sacred Knowing (Peace)
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with
child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.” – Isaiah 7: 10-16
“Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary
had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with
child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and
unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just
when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the
child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” – Matthew 1: 18-25
Many of us look for signs to help us know what to do, or we wish we
could have our own personal angel visit us to let us know the “right”
next steps. Uncertainty is a fact of life–this seems ever more true. This
week we will remember that there is a Christ within us constantly
birthing wisdom and a deep knowing if we will but listen with a
contemplative heart. Let us seek out quiet in order to hear the voice that
brings peace by gently saying, “do not be afraid.”

Please join us Christmas Eve, December 24th at 7pm for a special service at 7pm. The address is 1550 W. Alexis Rd. Toledo, Ohio 43612. Any questions call Pastor Don at 734-625-9548 for more information.

November 13 Worship: Stewardship Sunday

Scripture:  Malachi 4:1-2a; Psalm 98; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13; Luke 21:5-19

Sermon:  “Thanks and Giving”. We all love Thanksgiving.  And we are called to Give Thanks.  But let’s take time to look at the connection between   acknowledging that the Lord has given all things to us, so we are to be thankful – but then are called to give generously of our time, talents and treasure.  What is the Thanks and Giving connection?

Scripture:  Jeremiah 23:1-6; Psalm 46; Colossians 1:11-20;  Luke 23:33-43

            Being grateful and thankful are not just things we are called to do one day a year.  We are called to live a life of gratitude and service, being thankful for the love of God through Jesus in all things!  Our Acts 29 youth have created this worship service, and will lead and teach us to live out of a spirit of a spirit of abundance.

July 17 Worship: 6th Sunday After Pentecost: Scriptures: Mark 5:21-31; Romans 12:2 / Sermon: “Awareness ” Today we begin a three week worship series on generosity and living the best version of life possible. Generosity does not mean just generosity of financial resources. In fact, there are many more important ways that we can live out of generosity than just giving money! Let’s work together to discover ways that we can be more aware of the need of our world.
