MAY 11th Worship Service

Chalice

 Sunday Service, May 11, 2008  11:00 a.m.

Rev. Bill Barnes

“Recognizing Diversity as Blessing”  Romans 8:15-17

Diversity is more often conceived as curse than blessing.  How can we free ourselves from the daily bombardment of exclusively categorizing on the basis of age, appearance, gender, race, education, income, possessions, nationality, etc.?  How can we find consistency in knowing others to be children of God?

We’ve had some worn carpeting replaced recently in the sanctuary and fellowship hall and now need to do our spring cleaning!

David Frese will coordinate work on the inside of our  buildings, and Art Ebetts will do the same for the outside. It would be useful if you brought cleaning items, such as gloves, vacuum cleaner, clippers, and rakes.

As usual, a light lunch will be served.

MAY 4th Worship Service

Chalice

Sunday Service, May 4, 2008 11:00 a.m.

The Rev. Dr. Dan Rosemergy, GNUUC Minister

” ‘Sound-bites’ of Life: Jeremiah Wright and Trinity UCC”

Dan will reflect on the recent politicization of sermon “sound-bites” taken from sermons by the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, outgoing pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. He will share the full history of the ministry of Dr. Wright and the wide range of social justice and community ministries of the church, as well as the amazing story of the growth of this congregation from 87 members to the current 8000+. Dan will use this as a springboard to discuss the unfortunate ways our society “sound-bites” not only individuals but important and complex issues of the day. He will suggest ways we might be able to open ourselves to the “full story” of what is going on around us.
