We enjoyed our Fall Kick-Off Sunday, complete with lots of good company, beautiful weather, and some wonderful music in worship -- including a great version of "Peace in the Valley" by the choir. After worship, we gathered for a warm lunch, with all sorts of wonderful food and too many desserts.
On Sunday, we also kicked off our fall sermon series on the Gospel of John -- "Come and See: The Promise of Following Jesus." This series will explore the recurring theme of "come and see" in John. This week, we explored the introduction of this theme in the story of Jesus' first disciples, who follow Jesus to see what he is all about. The sermon, "Come and See: Invitations to Follow" was an introduction to the series -- a reminder that we too are invited to follow Jesus the man, not simply the prophesied Messiah. Understanding that Jesus is the Christ -- God's chosen one -- is important in causing us to pay attention -- but we will learn different things about God by noticing how Jesus' lives and acts.
If you missed Sunday's sermon, if you'd like to listen to it again, or if you'd like to share it with others, there is an audio recording here.
You can also listen to Sunday's communion meditation here.
