Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20
Sermon: God the Father, and…
On Trinity Sunday, which is Father’s Day, we will listen to the scripture, look at our stained glass, think about how God is like a Father – and more. The idea of the Trinity – that God is best described as a mystery involving three separate yet united persons – actually opens the door to a number of ways to experience the living God, which is what matters, after all!
Father’s Day Celebration
The men of the church are invited to our annual squirt gun battle. Afterwards, we’ll celebrate with root beer floats using Dad’s Root Beer, donated by Susie Davis Maghy, daughter of Paul and Nancy Davis, in loving memory of her father.
A brief congregational meeting was held last Sunday. Thanks to the following faithful people who were elected to serve three-year terms as Elders: *Ann Collins, Audra Hokunson, Lisa Scott Jones, Jessica Reese, *Phil Sider, Anne Warner; and as Deacons: Jessica Buuck, *Linda Cherrington, Tom Chesnutt, Jill Merrill, *Linda Watson.
