New Week Message
We did something at the Synod Assembly that deserves special attention.
During a worship service we followed the standard liturgy for Holy Communion. But when came time for the prayers….we presented, on the screen, prayers from various people around the Synod. The prayers were pre-recorded in the work or volunteer settings of people. Business, law office, hospital room, rural and other settings were presented.
Two of the prayers were by our Doctor Steve Sparks, US Army, and Christine Swan as they live out their callings. Christine was in her volunteer setting providing goods and services to help people and Doctor Steve was in uniform in an Army setting; Stethoscope around neck.
Thanks be to God for these two Christians who live out their callings by doing goodness and love in God’s world for God’s people. And for all of us, as we do likewise.
Hmmmm….??? Some creative ways of presenting prayers and doing worship are enhanced by modern technology. We have a story to tell.
So thanks be to God for Christine, Dr Steve, whoever made the video, and put in on the holy screen before our synod….
God is at work. Amen.
Interim Pastor Jeff Swanson

For many years, I’ve been thinking about the history of “salvation” teachings in the Church, beginning amongst the first Christians. So, I’ve decided to write a series of short essays. Limited to 500 words each. Easy reads...click on the button to begin :)
