Dear FPCLA,
I hope everyone is staying hyrdated and cool. The heat wave never seems to end and as I get older, I seek air conditioned rooms. 🙂 During the heat waves, we make it an effort to add more water to the homeless food pantry boxes/bags. I pray for those living on the streets that they survive the heat.
Sermon: Divisions Today
Scripture: Luke 12:49-56 The Message Bible
49-53 “I’ve come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now! I’ve come to change everything, turn everything rightside up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I’ve come to disrupt and confront! From now on, when you find five in a house, it will be—
Three against two,
and two against three;
Father against son,
and son against father;
Mother against daughter,
and daughter against mother;
Mother-in-law against bride,
and bride against mother-in-law.”
54-56 Then he turned to the crowd: “When you see clouds coming in from the west, you say, ‘Storm’s coming’—and you’re right. And when the wind comes out of the south, you say, ‘This’ll be a hot one’—and you’re right. Frauds! You know how to tell a change in the weather, so don’t tell me you can’t tell a change in the season, the God-season we’re in right now.
Announcements:
- We have in-person worship at 1:15pm and remote worship. There is no fellowship hour afterwards, but instead will head out for meal and drinks.
