Yesterday, in worship and in children and youth Sunday school classes, we concluded our series on The Three Simple Rules. Our attention yesterday was centered upon "Staying In Love With God" based on John 21:15-17, 19 where Peter was asked three times of Jesus, "Do you love me?" Peter went on loving God's people and feeding the sheep. We were challenged to attend to the ordinances of God through our spiritual disciplines. I shared that God's creativeness gave us many ways to "connect." We watched a video that Jeremy Peffer directed us to use from Andy Stanley's Northpointe Church. You can see it here. What Way Do You Connect With God?
Yesterdays message allowed us to look at the 5 Love Languages from Dr. Gary Chapman. Chapman illustrates in his book, "The 5 Love Languages" that all of us have a primary love language. To find yours click here 5 Love Languages Assessment for an online tool to find yours!
If you wish, you may then go to YouVersion (What's Your Love Language) and take the Christ Community love language poll and see how you compare to the rest of the church!
Lastly, thanks to Jeremy Peffer for filming, editing and sharing his gifts with "Butler Dad." Butler Dad, according to the Three Simple Rules concluded yesterday with this video on "Staying in Love With God." Good work Butler Dad! Butler Dad's "Stay In Love With God"
This Wednesday, we have fish and pierogies for dinner at church! If you are planning on coming for dinner, please contact the church office today with your reservation. Almost every table was full last week! It's great to see such a great crowd so early on in this new ministry!
Next Sunday, our church will begin a new journey together through November 4. Committed to Christ: Steps to a Generous Life will offer a road map, a series of paths, a journey toward holy living and mature Christian discipleship. It offers a vision-a vision to grow closer to the Lord through the series themes of prayer, Bible reading, worship, witness, financial giving and service. You will be invited to grow, step by step, in your life as a follower of Christ. Each week, you will be invited to fill out a commitment card to help you plan that growth. Join us in this six week stewardship program that presents giving in many ways as a part of your lifelong journey in Christian discipleship.
Have a blessed week church! It is an honor to serve and lead as your pastor.
