New Sunday Night Service

I attended our Sunday Night Service last week and was really enriched by what I learned.  Here is a description and reminder of the upcoming dates. God bless.

There are many different faith traditions within the Christian

faith. Our evening services starting February 20 will focus on

the subject “Christianity’s Family Tree: What Other Christians

Believe and Why” in the hopes that we will come to a greater

understanding of the beliefs and practices of our Christian

brothers and sisters from other denominations, how they differ

from our own beliefs and practices, and what we share in

common, and what we can learn from one another.

The study is based on a video series of the same name

featuring the Reverend Adam Hamilton, founding pastor of

the Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas. We will

have the following schedule:

February 20 Orthodoxy

February 27 Catholicism

March 6 Lutheranism

March 13 Presbyterianism

March 20 Anglicanism

March 27 Baptists

April 3 Pentecostalism

April 10 Methodism

You are encouraged to come and bring someone with you as

we meet in the Fellowship Hall each Sunday at 6 PM.

YOU TOOK MY PARKING SPACE AT CHURCH

One day, a man went to visit a church. He got there early, parked his car
and got out. Another car pulled up near him. The driver got out and
said, "I always park there! You took my place!"

The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat
down. A young lady from the church approached him and stated, "That's my
seat! You took my place!" The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude
welcome, but said nothing.

After Sunday School, the visitor went into the sanctuary and sat down.
Another member walked up to him and said, "That's where I always sit! You
took my place!" The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but
still He said nothing.

Later as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them, the
visitor stood up, and his appearance began to change. Horrible scars
became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet. Someone from the
congregation noticed him and called out, "What happened to you?"

The visitor replied, as his hat became a crown of thorns and a tear fell
from his eye, "I took your place."
