In this passage Jesus tells the disciples that they will be empowered by the Holy Spirit and will be Christ’s witnesses to Jerusalem and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. These disciples and those who come after them are The Church. Notice, this book is about what God is doing. It is focused on God’s mission, and we, The Church, are his witnesses, invited to join in.
Benevolence Offering We give Benevolence offerings whenever we celebrate Holy Communion. The pattern of Benevolence offerings on Communion Sundays goes all the way back to the early church. It is a way for us to remember and reflect the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, by giving for the care of those in need.
Pub Theology Bet you never heard those two words put together. Anyway, I am inviting you to join a monthly conversation about the themes of the sermons, or any other theological question you might have. The inaugural “Pub Theology” will be held at Red Rock Brewery (at Fashion Place) Thursday, January 18 at 8:00pm. Join us for your favorite pint and some great conversation. Everyone welcome! Pastor Peter.
