It was a lot of fun distributing Jesus Storybook Bibles last Sunday in worship. All parents of children ages 3 through 6 received this wonderful resource with their commitment to read these bibles from cover to cover to their children. Parents who weren’t present Sunday may pick up their storybook Bibles by contacting Liz Craig, lcraig. We believe that Christian formation begins in the home and we are here to help parents make that happen.
The message series 2012 The World in His Hands continues this week as we shift the focus of changing the culture from the home into the community and world. We believe that Jesus has moved into the neighborhood and wants us to be good neighbors. We’ll talk about specific ways as individuals and as the Body of Christ that we are/can do that through works of justice and mercy. Read Luke 10: 25-37 prior to coming to worship.
Schweitzer is hosting this Sunday evening a showing of Sex and Money. A National Search for Human Worth. This documentary reveals the disturbing reality of domestic sex trafficking and the abolitionist movement fighting to stop it. The film’s interview of federal agents, pimps, johns, and victims provides a powerful dose of reality. Who needs to see this film? Certainly High School students and their parents and anyone who is concerned about protecting and restoring the lives of people. I invite you to look at the trailer www.sexandmoneyfilm.com and invite others to Schweitzer this Sunday, January 22, 6-8pm.
