“Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, how you swore to them by your own self, saying to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.”
Church Family,
Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
and did my Sovereign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?
Was it for crimes that I have done,
he groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when God, the mighty maker, died
for his own creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.
But drops of tears can ne’er repay
the debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
’tis all that I can do.
Along with the announcements in the video, SAFE is selling Christmas cards as a fundraiser. All of you who are preparing for Christmas card season could consider supporting this good cause.
Erin and I will be out of town from the evening of the 18th-21st. My suspicion is I will have cell service, but you can call Billy (william.sander@duke.edu and (919)988-0616) for anything general and Ben Wolf at (252)567-3210 for any pastoral emergencies.
Our Google Meet will not meet tonight, but will meet next Sunday at 6:30pm.
God bless all of you!
Feel free to reach out at gchristen@nccumc.org or (608)576-0250 with any questions, concerns, or prayer requests.
Peace,
Gordon
