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.

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!”

HOYAL'S TOIL

The new staircase that leads from the lower parking area
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.

The railings made from mountain laurel and locust treesCLCC/DOC is indeed fortunate to have members like Hoyal West. Hoyal, the mathematician with an artistic side, has added a functional work of art that allows people parking in the back lot access to the church. A special thanks is due to Hoyal for his generous gift of self.
