I hope you've had a great week and looking forward to a great weekend. We are
right in the thick of our Christmas Season Series as we talk about
"That Awkward Moment" and look at the awkward moments
from the original Christmas story. This Sunday we'll be talking about
Mary's awkward moment.
Also, an exciting part of our
merger with Harmony Grove UMC is that James Savage, and his wife, Lindsay, will
be able to move into the parsonage. This coming Monday (Dec. 8) from 4:30
p.m.-8:30 p.m. all are invited to come help clean the parsonage, do a little
yard word and spackle nail holes. We'll pick up some pizza and have fun getting
the house ready for James and Lindsay. The address is 1385 Harmony Grove Church
Rd., Auburn, GA 30011).
Thought for the
Week
"...unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with
us beyond measure." Lamentations 5:32
Have you ever wondered if
you've wondered too far for God to forgive you? Is my sin too big? Was my
mistake just too far over the line? Jeremiah asked those words at the end of
Lamentations. Had the people gone too far for God? Was God angry? We've all
wondered that. The answer is no. No sin is too big. No one wonders too far.
God is not angry with us beyond measure. God is disappointed when we sin. Any
parent is disappointed when their child disobeys. We know they haven't chosen
the best way. We know they haven't taken the best path. But parents always
welcome children back. A parent's love knows no bounds. This is just a small
snapshot of the love of God. No matter what you've done, today is a great
opportunity to take a step back. You are not rejected. You are loved as the
way a loving father loves his child. You are welcome to return.
In
Christ,
Carter |
