Sunday Sept 5 Seeking God's Vision

God's Promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob:  By retelling the story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we learn about Seeking   God's Vision, Pursuing God's Vision, Wrestling with God's Vision, and Celebrating God's Vision.  We will also tell the story of the Vision that God has given us and begin to wrestle, like Jacob, with how we will seek to receive and then give, God's blessing to our community!

Ge 12:1-3
12:1 The LORD had said to Abram , "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.

2 "I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."

Sunday Sept 12:  Kerygma:  The Church as a Community of Teaching and Learning.

We will retell a story from Israel's history as told in Deuteronomy 6, where God commands Israel to be a teaching community, as well as the story from Acts chapter 2 in which the first church devotes itself to the teaching of the Apostles.  We will also touch upon Proclaiming the story of Christ to others.

Ac 2:42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship,

Sunday Sept 19: Diakonia: The Church as a Community of Service, global and local.

Today we will retell stories of the early church as found in Acts 2 &4, that recall the service the disciples offered to those in need. We will also remember our own history of serving and connect to the vision that God is giving us for serving others in our future.

Acts 6:1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

Sunday August 8th:  The Spirituality of Pants; or We are Living in a Material World and I am a Material Girl

Lk 12:22-26

22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
NIV
