Pastor's Weekly Update--February 2, 2010
"That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
-- 2 Corinthians 12:10 NIV
"Keep me faithful in the difficult trials as you accompany me with the promise of resurrection. Amen." -- Eugene H. Peterson
Thanks...
We don't often get the kind of snow & ice that makes changes to our Sunday schedule necessary, but we sure did last weekend! Thanks for helping spread the word about our schedule change last Sunday, and to all were able to come worship & serve. We actually had good attendance and a wonderful day of worship! If you, or someone you know at our church, was not notified of our schedule change, it means they are not on our email list, or the telephone "prayer chain." We want everyone to get the info., so please pass along email addresses or phone numbers to Brenda Jackson at the church office (bjannwats@yahoo.com or 452-2101). Also, thanks to Tim Fuller for posting the sermons on our website (www.gallatinnazarene.com
) each week. If you weren't able to come to church last Sunday, but would like to download the message, it's under "podcasts" and titled: "Angst as a Gift from God." Tim has also made extra CD's available at the church this week.
New AM Sermon Series Begins This Sunday: "24 Hours That Changed the World"...
I'm looking forward to this new series (based on the Bible, and a study by Adam Hamilton) of the last 24 hours of Jesus' life. Hamilton's terrific 40-day devotional book for Lent by the same title will be available at church this Sunday for $5. (You would pay $10 at the bookstore, but because you are getting them through the church, you save $! :) Even though Lent doesn't officially begin until Feb. 17 (Ash Wednesday), I wanted to get a "headstart" on the series and be able to cover each major event of Jesus' last day through Easter. I will preach through the designated passages of Scripture, and draw from Hamilton's study where appropriate. Here's the schedule:
Feb. 7: Introduction: "From Prophecy to Perfume"
Feb. 21: "The Last Supper" (Communion will be served)
Feb. 28: "The Garden of Gethsemane"
March 7: "Condemned by the Righteous"
March 14: "Jesus, Barabbas, and Pilate"
March 28: "The Torture and Humiliation of the King"
April 4 (Easter Sunday): "Jesus' Crucifixion & Resurrection"
(Special Services & Guest Speakers are planned for Feb. 14 & March 21)
Faith Promise Sunday, Feb. 14... Missions: "Love In Action!"
Through our annual Faith Promise Sunday, we remember & rededicate ourselves to Christ's call to share the Good News with the whole world! Our guest speaker is Kathy Mowry, professor of Christian Education & Missions at Trevecca Nazarene University. Kathy and her husband served for several years as missionaries in Russia. On Feb. 14, we will have a special all-church lunch in the gym at 12 noon. BBQ lunch will be catered by Stroud's (BBQ sandwiches, beans, potato salad, slaw).
