First, check in next week, I'll be doing some more blogging on things I'm discovering in Matthew and some more insights into the James passage that we'll be looking at on Sunday.
For this Sunday our Scripture passage is James 1.19-27. When you are reading through it you will notice that it is bookended with a call to live a certain style of life (no anger, control your tongue, care for the helpless, don't be stained by the world). Between the bookends is James' insight in how we can live this kind of life.
Our worship starts with some insight into ballet (we continue with our series "Dancing with the Stars). The importance of finding your center, of doing the exercises, and respecting others will all come out. All themes which connect with James 1.
At the end of the dance our focus will be on each other for a moment as we greet one another. Be sure to greet people you don't know and welcome them.
We move into a time of praise through song.
After sining, we will have announcements and offering. In her first appearance, Gayle Doornbos, will be joining me for a little father/daughter announcement time.
Our corners offering continues to be for a group that is working in Bethlehem to heal the wounds of that community that have come from years of war, strife, and hatred.
The message this week looks at shortcomings and whether they are really the big deal that steps 6&7 of AA make them out to be.
After the message we will celebrate the Lord's Supper.
Hope you have a great Saturday and take time to prepare for worship.
