Simple Rules for Money… \"\" <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

~ Stewardship Worship Series Oct 28th – Nov 11th, 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We all need money to survive in the world, and how we use money goes all the way to the heart of our relationship with God and our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

John Wesley, in his sermon, \u201cThe Use of Money,\u201d provided for Methodists some basic practices regarding the use of money, and they are still excellent Christian wisdom for us today.
\nWesley\u2019s rules for money were simple: Earn all you can. Save all you can. Give all you can.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Over the next three weeks during the stewardship campaign, we will explore Wesley\u2019s guidance on money.<\/p>\n

Revival…\u00a0 \"\"\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

~ Worship Series Sept 9th – Oct 14th, 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the society of the 1700\u2019s, when Christians churches faced serious spiritual challenges in the midst of social and political changes, John Wesley, an Anglican priest and Oxford professor preached a faith that brought a revival of Christianity throughout England and across America, and became the founder of the Methodist movement.<\/p>\n

Wesley’s life and message continue to speak to the Christians in the 21st Century, calling us to a revival of our hearts and minds, so that our lives can be changed, and we can transform the world.<\/p>\n

For the next six weeks, inspired by Rev. Adam Hamilton\u2019s book, Revival: Faith as Wesley Lived It, <\/i>we will review Wesley\u2019s life and message and rediscover our spiritual passion.<\/p>\n

The Gospel
\nAccording<\/strong><\/em> to Pixar… <\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

~ Worship Series Aug 12 – Sept 2nd, 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

For four Sundays from August 12th to September 2nd, we will reflect on four of the 20 films Pixar has produced over the last 23 years and seek to find spiritual messages in them.<\/p>\n

As you may already know, Pixar movies offer not only stunningly beautiful visuals but also plenty of simple yet profound truths that touch the hearts of people of all ages and cultures. \u00a0The whole world gets excited when a new Pixar film comes out. \u00a0So, it will be a fun experience for us to watch together some clips from the 4 movies and connect their spiritual messages to our Christian faith.<\/p>\n

To make this new sermon series more meaningful, you are invited to participate in special mission projects of donating one small item per week for our neighbors in need.
\nHere is the series schedule of films and donations:<\/p>\n

August 12<\/strong> \u2013 Toy Story;<\/em>\u00a0 Bring a toy
\n<\/em>August 19<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Ratatouille;<\/em>\u00a0 Bring a canned food item
\n<\/em>August 26<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Inside Out;\u00a0<\/em> Bring a box of Kleenex or bandages
\n<\/em>September 2<\/strong> \u2013 The Incredibles;<\/em>\u00a0 Bring a pair of children’s socks<\/p>\n

There will be baskets for your donations in the sanctuary narthex.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to watch these wonderful movies<\/em> <\/strong><\/a>with your church family during the sermon series, there will be two opportunities:<\/p>\n

On Saturdays at 7:00pm<\/strong><\/em> and on Sundays at 11:30am<\/strong><\/em>, both in the Fireside Room<\/a>. Drinks will be provided, but please bring a snack to share.
\nSee our Facebook events<\/a>\u00a0for each film and invite family, friends, and neighbors to the showings.<\/p>\n

~ A Worship Series based on the book of Acts: 20 May – 24 June 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On the day of Pentecost, first followers of Christ received the Holy Spirit, and they were changed forever.\u00a0 Empowered by the Spirit, they became bold in their acts of praise, prayer, healing, teaching, and witnessing.\u00a0 Empowered by the Spirit, they became a new movement that spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n

In this Pentecost season series, we will turn to the book of Acts to learn about the boldness of the early Christian church.<\/p>\n

Witnesses of Easter\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>\"\"<\/h3>\n

~ Worship Series for Easter and Eastertide: 1 April – 13 May 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The New Testament witnesses were fully aware of the background against which the resurrection took place.\u00a0 The body of Jesus, in accordance with Jewish burial custom, was wrapped in a linen cloth.\u00a0 Approximately 100 pounds of aromatic spices, mixed together to form a gummy substance, were applied to the wrappings of cloth about the body.\u00a0 After the body was placed in a solid rock tomb, an extremely large stone was rolled against the entrance of the tomb. Large stones weighing approximately two tons were normally rolled by means of levers against a tomb entrance.<\/p>\n

Roman guards were stationed at the tomb.\u00a0 They affixed on the tomb the Roman seal, which was meant to “prevent any attempt at vandalizing the sepulcher.”\u00a0 Anyone trying to move the stone from the tomb’s entrance would have broken the seal and thus incurred the wrath of Roman law.<\/p>\n

But three days later the tomb was empty. The followers of Jesus said He had risen from the dead.\u00a0 They reported that He appeared to them during a period of 40 days, showing Himself to them by many “infallible proofs.”\u00a0 In this series, we will examine the stories of the Easter Witnesses<\/em>.<\/p>\n

April 1: Witnesses of Easter : Mary<\/em> — John 20:11-18<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

April 8: Witnesses of Easter: Thomas<\/em> — John 20:24-29<\/a><\/p>\n

April 15: Witnesses of Easter: Peter<\/em> — John 21:15-17<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jesus in the Gospel of John\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>\"\"<\/h3>\n

~ Worship Series for Lent: 18 February – 30 March 2018 ~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are the four gospels in the Bible, and John is very different in many ways from the other three (who are called Synoptic Gospels<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0gospels<\/em>\u00a0of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are referred to as the\u00a0Synoptic Gospels<\/em>\u00a0because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar or sometimes identical wording.\u00a0 They stand in contrast to John, whose content is comparatively distinct.\u00a0 The Jesus whom we encounter in the unique gospel of John is not the same Jesus that Matthew, Mark, and Luke portray.<\/p>\n

You are invited to join in worship and explore together several key themes in the gospel of John, as well as read the entire book<\/a> (only 21 chapters) throughout the season of Lent. \u00a0It will be a very meaningful Lenten journey.<\/p>\n
