Pastor's Ponderings
All Saints Day - November 2
This is the day when we honor those who have died in the past year with a special celebration of Holy Communion and the lighting of candles.
Even as we grieve those who have departed from this earthly life, we remember and give thanks for the joy of knowing and loving them in this world. We light candles in memory of the light they offered us.
When we say ‘Yes’ to our place at Christ’s table, the Table of Communion and reconciliation, we are joining our loved ones who came before us.
We truly are blessed by God’s tables of love, peace, grace, and joy. Let the light shine!
Now is a good time in the life of our Congregation to ground ourselves in the Words of Jesus. They are words which have been passed down to us from centuries ago. Even though language has changed, definitions are skewed, meanings are manipulated, WE CAN TRUST IN THE WORDS OF THE LORD.
The Words of Jesus resonate with the words of the Prophets and echo down through the ages. Something in the way Jesus integrates words and actions has made a world of difference for humanity.
The Adult Sunday School class received so much benefit from Adam Hamilton’s study The Message of Jesus that I decided to use the lessons in that book for preaching in November.
We have already considered the Mission/Purpose of Jesus as he proclaimed: '...the Good News of the Kingdom of God. I was sent for this purpose.’ The Sermon on the Mount came next, Matthew 5: 1 – 16. We will continue to examine the Words of Jesus that Changed the World...and Us!
Come and be blessed by the Words of God for the People of God. Thanks be to God.
