“there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.”
Church Family,
As Jeremy prepares to complete his summer internship, I know he’d appreciate any feedback you might have, especially about his preaching. If you could, would you send any thoughts to jeremy.alcorn@duke.edu and CC gchristen@nccumc.org.
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. You’ll have the blessing of hearing our lay leader Carolyn Allen preach Sunday the 18th.
Over the next several weeks our devotions will walk through some passages in Mark which our Sunday lectionary leaves out:
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
For one more Sunday we will be reflecting on the theme of “the bread of life” and those in-person will receive communion each of those four weeks. If you’re continuing to worship online and would like to receive communion feel free to get in touch with me and I’d be happy to schedule that, or just show up at porch hours Wednesday and Sunday 1-3pm!
I’m trying to add more detail to our prayer list. If you’d like to add a prayer or some detail to a name or if I’ve forgotten anyone, feel free to email and I will update the list. Those of you worshiping online only can also call me with prayer requests if needed.
Our Google Meet will continue this Sunday at 6:30 with Genesis 43:1-34. We hope you’ll join us!
Link for Sunday 8/8 at 6:30pm. Please join us!
