Weekly Words From Randoon ….

                For the week of 9/9/07

Welcome one and all!

NEWS FROM SANCTUARY –

Sunday 9/16 – Brief congregational meeting immediately following service for the purposes of electing to become an organized CRC congregation and to vote to have Ben Katt ordained as a minister of the word in the CRC.

Don’t miss a true cultural phenomenon on Friday the 14^th @ 7pm at the Green Bean Coffee House when we feature the fabulous B MOVIE – CREATURE FROM THE BLUE LAGOON – no production value, no plot, no acting….and a diabolical creature that looks like COOKIE MONSTER.

9/9 Attendance: 85 Kids: 6 Offering: $2,855

PRAYERS –

God, we continue to pray for peace in our world.

Christ have mercy on all those who suffer depression and anxiety.

Lord, be with John and other cancer sufferers who are nearing the end of their battle.

Holy Spirit, give wisdom and strength to the educators of our children.

REFLECTIONS –

Hey, it was a fun summer. All of us at Sanctuary took swings at preaching from the wisdom literature of the Old Testament.

Ben Katt finished up summer today with a message from Ecclesiastes 12 about remembering God in your youth. It clearly didn’t relate to me at all!

Next week, Ben and I open our Autumn Series: A GOD SO BIG…A GOD SO SMALL. We will be mining our way through book of Colossians wherein Paul tells us the story of a Cosmic Christ of great enormity…but, that Cosmic Christ is also our Lord Jesus, who comes to us face to face in the day to day realities of human life. Wow! Hang on for a wonderful series of meditations and challenges from Paul, the Apostle of the Heart Set Free. We think God’s word from Colossians will set our Sanctuary community free as well. Starts next Sunday and runs weekly through the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

Now, dear friends, go out and make it a GREAT WEEK.

Much Love,

Dr. Randy L. Rowland
