“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
This Sunday we begin a new series, “FROM JOY, FOR JOY/ GOSPEL MISSION,” a ten-month study in the book of Acts. We invite you to prepare for this upcoming Sunday’s service by using this excerpt of our September 4th bulletin below. We encourage you to use the topic, passage, liturgy, and songs for prayer and reflection.
Preaching Passage for this Sunday: Acts 1:1-11
Songs:
- All Hail the Power of Jesus’s Name
- Come People of the Risen King
- Jesus Lives and So Shall I
Supplementary Bible Testament Reading: Luke 1:1-4; 24:36-49
Reflect:
If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.
– Thomas Merton
