How shall we live?
Red Run News -- June 19, 2011
Happy Father's Day to all you dads. What a joy to gather at Red Run in the peaceful beauty of a well-maintained grove!
Thank you to all who attended and helped with our Summer Bible School at the Bowmansville Mennonite Church. All ages received good teaching from the Bible. In our sharing time this morning, some of the children (and others too) shared some reflections from Bible School.
We were glad that Irvin and Louise Martin were with us at this morning's service. Irvin served as the bishop of our church district from 2000 to 2008. This morning he challenged us with a message: "How then shall I live?" (based on Ezekiel 33:10 and 2 Peter 3:11). Irvin drew some conclusions in answering this question for us today: remember God's forgiveness, extend God's forgiveness, life is a struggle, live with joy, live free, control thought life, be a child of the King, be a servant, share the good news, remember that our citizenship is in heaven.
Bob Sauder led us in singing including the hymn "It is Well With My Soul," a favorite hymn of Charles Harting. We remembered Matthew in his search for a new job. We prayed for the sick.
We note the passing of Mel Martin after a lengthy illness. Mel was a good friend and hunting partner of Willis.
