SCRIPTURE LESSON FOR THIS WEEK
Seasons of the Spirit
The Christian Year in Biblical Perspective
May 11, 2008
Pentecost Sunday (Year A)
Liturgical Color: Red
(Reflections
from our Readers)
Acts 2:1-21
This by now familiar text is the foundation text of the church. Today I am
looking for new insights. One of these is to try to discover who these persons
were who were “all together in one place.” The antecedent verses in chapter one
indicate that it at least included the 11 apostles (minus the deceased Judas),
certain women including Mary the mother of Jesus and his brothers (1:14), and
many more (see 1:15), perhaps as many as 120 persons, and of course Matthias,
who became the new number 12, and Joseph, who lost the election (1:23-26). I am
impressed with the sweep of the descent of the Spirit on this group. It wasn’t
just the privileged few, or the inner circle of church leaders, or even just
male disciples. No, the Spirit fell on “all flesh,” men and women, young and
old......more.
Sunday School: May 11, 2008
Sunday School:
Godly Play: Children age 3 through 2nd grade. The Godly Play children
will continue learning about how we worship in an lesson called the "The
Circle of Liturgy." We will explore the pattern of what happens during
our worship services with approaching God, listening to God, responding
to God, and being sent into the world for service by God. This is a
circle which never ends; at the center of the circle is communion, the
"sacred threshold" into God's presence through Jesus.
Elementary class: During the months of April and May, the Elementary
Class will be studying the travels of the Apostle Paul. This Sunday:
Pentecost The book of Acts begins with the stories of Jesus' appearance
to some of his followers after the Resurrection and ends with Paul's
journey to Rome, Near the beginning of the book is the story of the
coming of the Holy Spirit. Where once the Disciples were fearful, now
they speak boldly about Jesus. The Holy spirit empowers us to tell the
good news of Jesus Christ.
Youth Class: Ages 12-18, led by a cadre of several dedicated teachers,
will be exploring “Relating with God (we will finish this lesson and
then plan for the summer months) -- the story of Moses' communicating
with God”.
Adult Sunday School: Michael Brunson will
lead the Bible Discovery Class and Don Midkiff’s class will be studying
Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth: Awaking to Your Life's Purpose
Church Service: This Sunday, the Men’s Chorale will sing “Every Time I
Feel the Spirit” as the Call to Worship. The choir’s anthem will be
“Open My Eyes, That I May See” by G. Martin. Rev. Bill Crowl’s sermon,
“A Matter of Life & Death” will be based on Acts 2: 1-21 and John 7:
37-39.
Join us this Sunday and “Let Us Worship God!”

Locust for the railings and poles, branches of the mountain laurel for the
decorative work, found rocks, and “Hoyal toil” are the simple ingredients for
the creation of a beautiful back stairs to Cherry Log Christian Church. Add in a
CLCC member task force adding plantings and the work of art is complete.
CLCC/DOC
