On Sunday, we had a wonderful service spotlighting our young people and their gifts as we began the 40-day prayer vigil Light a Candle for Children. After lighting a candle for each of those children present, we also honored the adults that have trained to serve as storytellers and greeters in our Children Worship & Wonder program for the year.
The sermon continued our "If We Are the Body..." series, focusing on the second part of Paul's longest description of the church as the body of Christ. In "E Pluribus Unum," I tried to focus us on how Paul continues the argument beyond simply saying that all Christians become part of one thing through the power of the Holy Spirit in baptism. After all, baptism doesn't make us all the same height or the same age. So how do different people, through one spirit, become part of Christ's one church? As I said, I think it has to do with each person wanting to be a part and others in the church not letting us go when we get discouraged or disillusioned.
If you missed Sunday's sermon, if you'd like to listen to it again, or if you'd like to share it with someone else, you can find an audio recording here.
