The Cloud Rider
Red Run News -- June 5, 2011
Thanks to those who planned, provided for, and participated in the leadership appreciation picnic at the Terre Hill Park on Saturday evening. The food was great. The little airplanes had flights of varying quality. The Apple-to-Apple and Scrabble games were fairly intense. The balloons were twisted into interesting shapes. The fellowship was encouraging.
Pastor Kevin had the message this morning. The title was "The Cloud Rider" from Psalm 68:4. He showed us photos of different types of clouds using PowerPoint. The verses from Psalm 68:1-10 were superimposed on the cloud and scenery pictures. Our "cloud-riding" God deserves our deep respect and calls forth songs of praise from our hearts. As a response to the love of this awesome God, we share with those in need, father the fatherless, defend the widows, and bring the lonely into our circles.
Randy Hostetter led us in singing one of Marvin Nolt's favorite hymns, "Just As I Am."
We also sang "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing," "We Praise Thee, O God!", "Hark! Ten Thousand Harps and Voices," and "The Solid Rock."
During the fellowship breakfast, the congregation blessed Carl and Julia with a card and planter in honor of their 35th wedding anniversary.
Plan to attend the Community Bible School at Bowmansville Mennonite Church from Sunday evening, June 12, through Thursday evening, June 16, at 7:00 p.m. The adult classes are:
Sunday/Monday -- Tom & Thelma Horst on "Marriage, Singleness and Family"
Tuesday -- Julia Sensenig on "Stewardship of Our Health and Time"
Wednesday -- Brad Aldrich on "Parenting -- Communication with Your Elementary Aged Child"
Thursday -- Brad Aldrich on "Parenting -- Media and The Family"
On May 29, Pastor Carl brought a message on the Holy Spirit from the Gospel of John. The Holy Spirit can be described as the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of Truth, Comforter, Counselor, Advocate, Helper, Friend, the One who stands by our side. We sang Bob Sauder's favorite hymns: "Come, Gracious Spirit" and "By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill."
On May 22, Pastor Melvin brought a message on "Come to Him, a Living Stone." We come to Jesus, our constant companion, for refreshment and renewal. We sang Simao Prysakar's favorite hymn, "Amazing Grace." At the fellowship meal, we acknowledged the emergency medical personnel who responded when Joe Miozza had a recent medical emergency. Several of these persons were present for the meal.
