Jesus walks on the water

Red Run News -- August 7, 2011

Those who came early could hear the choir singing hymns of praise to Jesus from the Church and Sunday School Hymnal: "Jesus Saves," "Saved by Grace," "Weeping One."
Pastor Carl brought a message about Jesus walking on the water (Matthew 14:24-36). Jesus is present with us in the storms of life. We take courage because Jesus is near.

The early elementary Sunday School class is excited about memorization of the Bible. Some students say the verses aloud; others write the verses from memory. They earn prizes for their efforts.

We look forward to our annual church retreat at Woodcrest on Sunday, August 21, 2011. The church service is at 11 a.m. at Woodcrest, followed by a chicken BBQ/fellowship meal.

On July 31, Pastor Kevin brought a message on the feeding of the five thousand, also found in Matthew 14. He brought homemade bread which the children distributed to the the congregation. The message encouraged us to believe in Jesus, the Bread of Life, and also to care for those in need. Randy Hostetter led us in hymns about belonging to Jesus -- "Savior, Teach Me Day by Day," and "Take My Heart, O Father." We also sang "Come Gracious Spirit," a favorite hymn of Paul Gehman.
