Preaching on Mars Hill

The sermon on Mars Hill is one of the few recorded messages given by the Apostle Paul. I preached on that text on Sunday morning and shared the fact that we still have something wonderful to say to people. Just as Paul pointed out that the unknown God was one who wanted to have a personal relationship with them, we can share the good news that it is still true today. I told a story about a friend of mine who needed to know that God cared about his situation and how this happened in an unexpected way. Then I marveled at what a wonderful, loving friend we had in Jesus.

It was a good day to be in church. Rachel Lord reminded us all that next week we will walk for hunger in the Annual CROP Walk and I noted that we would honor or moms at the annual Mother Daughter banquet on Saturday night. Our special guest will be Miss Connecticut, Dana Daunis. We also will open the 2008 softball season on Friday night at the rear field at Taftville reservoir at 6:00 p.m.
