Sunday’s Sermon: On the Edge of FaithRev. Elizabeth HortonScripture Reading: 1 Kings 19: 3-8 |
Looking Toward SundayA Message From Rev. HortonDear Beloved Community, Thanks to all who worshipped at Wildcat Mountain Farm last week! We had a wonderful time, thanks to hosts Steve and Charlotte Smith, and to the Picnic Coordinator, Susie Smith! We thank the many hands that were a part of the preparation, and the many folks who volunteered. It was a great day, we worshipped with creatures great and small – Rev. Don Morgan even caught a fish or two! We are truly blessed to have the tremendous spirit of love and fellowship that was present on Sunday. We had lots of great photos taken that day and they will be featured in the July Newsletter.As we enter the summer, we long for a restful mind and peace-filled heart, yet we know life is incredibly difficult for many in this moment. Fear, anger, bitterness, and loss of hope seem to be prevalent. We as a people seem to be “on edge” for many reasons. Some on the edge of a desert spiritually and emotionally. On the Edge is where we begin on Sunday, kicking off our 5-week sermon series on 3 prophets: Elijah, Elisha, and Amos. Throughout scriptures, the prophets are usually on the edges of society, always a bit out of place. They speak the uncomfortable truths we don’t like to hear, which definitely puts most folks on edge. But those who are willing to listen, will also hear the prophets speaking words of hope and promise even to the ones who are living on the edge.This summer, for a few weeks, let us listen as together we go to the Edge of Our Faith.As this Sunday marks Fathers’ Day, all the men in the congregation will get a special surprise! -PeaceElizabeth P. Horton |
