We bring the sacrifice of praise
Red Run News -- October 30, 2011
A lovely October snowfall complicated our lives this morning. Some of us did not have electricity at home. Some of us faced detours enroute to the service because of the trees and electric lines that were down. Some congregations were not able to have services today, but we were thankful to be able to meet together at Red Run. We prayed for those who are experiencing hardships as the result of this storm.
The Sunday School lesson was on the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount.
Pastor Carl brought a message from Psalm 43 about coming into the house of God with our offerings of money, praises, and our very lives. "We bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord." We sang "I was glad, I was glad when they said unto me" and then the children helped us to sing a new song: "I Like to Pray."
On the keyboard, Ellen Martin played "We are climbing Jacob's ladder." We sang some more favorite songs today: "He Hideth My Soul," a favorite of Earl Martin, and "As the Deer," a favorite of Miguel Prysakar. We are thankful for a good medical report from Rhoda Nolt. We prayed for Lonnie and Amy and daughter Emma as they have begun a new home. We prayed for Glenn and Julie Stauffer and family in Montana as Mel and Ruthie reported on their recent visit there.
Looking forward to Sunday, November 6:
Remember to turn your clocks back one hour.
At 9 a.m. there will be the children's classes as usual. In the combined adult class, Bishop Ken Martin will speak for a few minutes about the bishop discernment for the Weaverland-Northeast District. Then a speaker from the Gideons will share until the 9:30 a.m. fellowship breakfast. During that break time, you may want to talk to either Ken Martin or or the Gideons speaker or both. Ken Sensenig will have the message during our regular 10 a.m. service.
