Sunday should be a full worship service at Eastgate. It is Mother's Day, and their will be a tribute to mothers and women of the congregation. We also will share information on some upcoming mission opportunities -- after talking about this summer's congregational mission trip last Sunday, Church in Society will share information about a nearby children's lunch program that we will assist during July and August. Plus Sunday is the first of two opportunities to give money to support new congregations through the Pentecost special offering.
In this week's sermon, I will consider the ways that God gives us jobs to do in life. Perhaps the clearest responsibility we have is to raise up the generations who come after us -- help them to discover and grow in faith, help them to appreciate freedom and opportunity -- which is why we generally have so much appreciation for mothers. However, God gives each of us many responsibilities and jobs throughout our lives, sometimes several at the same time. We will consider how we try to accept God's expectations and hopes for us in a sermon, based on Ephesians 4, cheekily titled, "What's in Your Wallet?"
