Pastor’s Note 06/15/2023
This Sunday is Father’s Day and we have a lot happening at church this week. During our worship service we will have Dad Jokes, a baptism, prayer quilt dedications and a sermon from 1 John as we continue our study in that book of the Bible. After worship we will have pancakes, coffee, a putting green and “axe” throwing, with “valuable” prizes at stake.

One of my favorite television shows has been “Ted Lasso” a show that has been running for the past three years on Apple TV. It is the story of an American college football coach who has been hired to manage a soccer team in England’s Premier League. The stage is set in Season One as Coach Lasso tries to navigate learning about soccer, about England, about himself and how to change the culture of a losing soccer club. One of Coach Lasso’s attributes is his ability to say some “nuggets” of wisdom in his folksy Mid-western way that are memorable.
In a similar way, John’s letter in the Bible provides some “nuggets,” phrases or words, that are memorable and communicate some important aspect about God and those that follow Christ. This Sunday we come to one of those nuggets.
Hope that you can come this Sunday as we continue our study in 1 John learning some of the basics of the Christian faith.
Have a great rest of the week and I will see you on Sunday.
