Opening Prayer

 

A Christological Confession (Philippians 2:6-11) (in unison)

6  Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited,

7  but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form,

8  he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death-- even death on a cross.

9  Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name,

10  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11  and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

September 5 is Labor Day.

“The time of business does not differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are calling for different things, I possess God in the same great tranquility as if I were upon my knees.”

            --Brother Lawrence

 

Beginning this Wednesday, August 31, we have Bible Study at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.  We are studying Joshua.

The book of Joshua describes the conquest of Canaan.  It has some great stories (Rahab and the spies, the crossing of the Jordan River, the capture of Jericho).  The book portrays the fulfillment of God’s covenant promise to the Patriarchs that their descendants would possess the land.

 

We thank everyone who helped with the Summerfest fundraiser yesterday.  To do this kind of fundraiser requires a lot of work by a lot of people.  We appreciate all of you.
