INTERNALLY NURTURING

EXTERNALLY SERVING

I am excited about Sunday, my first Sunday with you. The sermon is titled “Ain’t Nobody Prayin’ for Me” and the texts are below. Ginny and I look forward to meeting you at the reception. Then seek out the discussion of The Prodigal God or join the Coffee Chat in the Lounge. Come, too, to the family meal Wednesday at 5:30.

         Genesis 1:1-5

 When God began to create the heavens and the earth

the earth was without shape or form, it was dark over the deep sea, and God’s wind swept over the waters—God said, “Let there be light.” And so light appeared. God saw how good the light was. God separated the light from the darkness. God named the light Day and the darkness Night.There was evening and there was morning: the first day.

John 1:1-5

In the beginning was the Word

    and the Word was with God

    and the Word was God.

The Word was with God in the beginning.

Everything came into being through the Word,

    and without the Word

    nothing came into being.

What came into being     

    through the Word was life,

    and the life was the light for all people.

The light shines in the darkness,

    and the darkness doesn’t extinguish the light
