| Bonded into Community
by the Spirit
~ Eric Shaw
So . . . remember you were without Christ, . . . aliens
. . . strangers . . . having no hope . . . without God .
. . . Now in Christ Jesus . . . brought near by blood . .
.. (Ephesians 2:11-22) Have you recently considered the difference
in life where you once were without Christ as aliens and
strangers from the body of Christ without hope? And now to
be in his body, brought near by the blood of Christ, . .
.. What a distance we have come, what a journey, to where
now we are participating in what Jesus is doing.
Tonight we have the opportunity to experience that community
as we have the blessing/dedication of our two newest additions
to the congregation, a sharing of ministry from Charles and
Susi Albrecht about The Good News Club, an outreach in the
local school and finally the opportunity to share communion
together. May we celebrate being joined in unity through
the body and blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
