“No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day.”
Church Family,
Next week, we’ll conclude our series, “The Bread of Life,” considering Jesus’ feeding of the 5000 and the speech about it from John 6. If you’d like to read beforehand those readings will be: 7/25 John 6:24-35; 8/1 John 6:35, 41-51; 8/8 John 6:51-58. If you worship with us in person you will have the chance to receive communion each Sunday of the next four weeks. If you worship online or might be absent, I’d love a chance to celebrate communion with you. I’ll be prepared to do that at my porch hours, or to bring the elements to you wherever you are. Just get in touch with me if you’re interested.
In devotions on Wednesdays I’ll be covering sections in Mark the lectionary skips:
8/4 Mark 7:9-13, 16-20
8/11 Mark 8: (1-10)11-26
8/18 Mark 9:10-29
8/25 Mark 11:(12-33) 12:13-17
Gordon will be out of town from August 9-18. I’ll still have my cell phone, but any pastoral emergencies can be offered to Ben Wolf at (252)567-3210
We will plan to restart adult Sunday School today, 8/1. We will have books available at church.
We will have a brief Fall Festival meeting after church on August 1st to discuss plans and hear any concerns or questions. You’re welcomed to attend, or to offer your thoughts about the fall festival via email or text.
I will plan to be on the parsonage porch from 1-3pm Wednesdays and Sundays, and am normally always available at other times during the week as well. Feel free to stop and chat.
I’ve tried to work on making our prayer list below more detailed. If you’d like to add a prayer or detail to a concern below feel free to call, text, or email at any time.
Our Google Meet will read Genesis 42:1-25 tonight at 6:30pm. We hope you’ll join us!
