September 6, 2014

Welcome to worship as we move from summer into fall. May we be blessed in one another's presence and in the presence of our Savior.

This Morning the message will be Eureka. Our message for our worship service will have a bit of a Western flavor to go with our "Parking Lot" party.  Jesus says this when we come to God, "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ..."(John 17:3).  We all know that the western gold miners would shout out Eureka as they have found gold, but it is when we find Jesus is when we have truly found something.

Next Week  is Pathfinders' Sabbath. The Pathfinders will be leading out in our worship service. They are back from their Oshkosh Camporee trip, and will give highlights from their trip. Eagle Rock's Pathfinders Director, Steve Clement, will be our guest speaker.

TODAY is the Parking Lot Party. It's not too late to invite a friend. Bring some food to share and some chairs. The party gets started about 5:30pm.

Appreciation Luncheon next week: There will be a luncheon, provided by the Pathfinders, in appreciation for the church's support in sending them to Oshkosh. Plan to stay for the food and fellowship.

Communion will be on September 20th. This Sabbath will be one of our quarterly worship services of the Lord's Supper and footwashing.  This is the time to remember all that Jesus has done for us, and a time to rededicate our lives as we symbolically accept his sacrifice for us.

Flowers today are from Aispuro's for Kean and Enoch's birthdays.
