This Sunday, we will have special celebrations of the role of children in our faith community. September 9 marks the beginning of a 40-day prayer vigil, Light a Candle for Children, that encourages Christians to pray for the needs of children among us and around the world. We will mark the day with a special ceremony during the service. Also, we will celebrate our Children Worship & Wonder program, which teaches children ages 4-10 about faith through a special worship experience. After the service there will be an open house where we will re-dedicate the children's worship space for the coming year and offer highlights of the program.
Also, my sermon series, "If We Are the Body...", will continue our exploration of Paul's image of the church as the body of Christ. Continuing on through Paul's description in 1 Corinthians 12, we will think about how any unity is possible among so many different people. The sermon is titled, "E Pluribus Unum," the motto famously appearing on US currency, and will reflect on the roots of that motto.
