You are invited! God is often invitational...inviting us to participate with him in his work. As his people, we are encouraged to pass on the invitation (or invitations as the case may be). And so I am passing on some invitations... The first is an invitation from the women's ministry Lord of the valley to join their Advent study. They are using the book: “The Heart That Grew Three Sizes” by Matt Rawle (available by clicking here). They are meeting on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month in November and December. (And yes, that means that we missed the first meeting but... we have been reassured that we can join in and not feel left behind. The second invitation is to participate in our adopting of families for Mountain Families Christmas gift giving. We're still working out the details but would like to adopt at least five families. We will have more information coming out about this soon. The third invitation is to join in passing on the blessings of a free Thanksgiving Day meal at the historic Cranmer Chapel in Winter Park. Sign-up sheets for both food and helping will be available Saturday and Sunday after services. Finally, we invite you to consider a Sunday morning lectionary-based study during Advent using the book: “Prepare the way” by Rich Lambert. So take a look. You can check out the books for study online. And be on the lookout For more information regarding how you might help adopt a family for Christmas. Blessings,
Matthew+ Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. |
