Sunday Summary

Sunday at Court Street was warm and welcoming. If you were here, we were honored by your presence. If you weren't, you were definately missed! Here are the highlights:

  • The youth choir sang "I need you" at the 8:00 and 8:45 Services. They did a really good job and at the 8:45 service even had the congregation clapping along!
  • Becca used a pair of homemade chicken wings to demonstrate how God is like a mommy chicken in reference to Luke 13:31-35.
  • We celebrated Holy Eucharist together. It was such a good experience to commune with one-another.
  • THe Youth met for confirmation, had "breakfast" for dinner, and spent time with Geri and Bob in the History and Archives room learning more about our Church's history. It was a really neat experience.

Pastor Keith's sermon was entitled "Fearless Hearts". Here are a few highlights from the sermon:

  • He used the following scriptures: Genesis 15: 1-12, Psalm 27, and Luke 13:31-35. He used these to show the different kinds of fear and trust that we all wrestle with on a daily basis.
  • Pastor Keith sopke about his mother and how Pslam 27 has personal meaning. He remembers this psalm from his childhood.
  • Jesus lived as a mother hen who stands between her chicks and those who would do them harm. He continues to do the same for us if we just let him.
  • We are called into covenental relationship and into "joyful obedience" and if we do these things, we have no reason to fear!
