Illusions

We are starting a new series called "Illusions" this Sunday.  We are joining with 12 or so other area churches in dealing with the idea that only perfect people are allowed at church.   As we participate in this series we are looking at the illusions that are in our culture.  The first illusion that people have is that Christians don't care about the world at large, live cloistered lives and so have nothing worth contributing to the conversations.  

To get into that conversation we are looking closely at Jesus teaching in Matthew 7.24-29 and see how it calls us to a life that brings us into a conversation that touches the whole of creation.

The service starts with a fun "whose voice do you hear" quiz.   We then move into an intro to the series and praising God in song.   After the offering we will spend time in prayer for the needs of the world and for our need to hear and do the word.   Our service will end with a song and God's blessing as we go out to take up our part in God's story.
