The Rev. Ms. Karen Candee
is leading worship and preaching. Save the Dates February 10th "Souper" Bowl Sunday Last year we collected 88 items and $10. This year if we collect 125 items or more some lucky person will get to throw a whipped cream pie in the face of Pastor Karen. Let us make the Dubuque Food Pantry and those they serve the real winners of the "Souper" Bowl! What a great response to "Souper" Bowl Sunday. The voting went as follows - 103 items for the Rams, 84 items for the Patriots, and 9 items on center field for a total of 196 items plus $82.43. Needless to say Pastor Karen took a pie in the face before the church potluck. As a matter of fact she took two pies in the face because of the great response. Congratulations to Hunter and Ella Melde for winning the drawing to toss the pies in Pastor Karen's face.

There is plenty of parking and the main entrance is the one with the canopy (where you may drop people off in bad weather or if they need assistance). Someone will greet you at the door. The worship space is to the right, and the restrooms are to the left. Visitors are always welcomed warmly.

"But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously." Micah 6:8 The Message 34-36 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what’s coming to you in this kingdom. It’s been ready for you since the world’s foundation. And here’s why: I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37-40 “Then those ‘sheep’ are going to say, ‘Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?’ Then the King will say, ‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.’ Matthew 25:34-40 The Message Being a Christian is more than attending church on Sunday. Being a Christian is allowing God to transform our lives from the inside out. It is an ongoing process of transformation as we freely choose to allow God to enter into the very core of our being. As we do that our desires and wills become more and more in allignment with the will of God. Being a Christian is more than just a personal relationship with God. By nurturing that relationship with God it allows us to live in communion with others and all of creation, caring for the other and creation as much as we do ourselves. There is more than one way to be thirsty or hungry. There may be a hunger or thirst for knowledge or opportunity or justice. There is more than one way to be naked. Sometimes we feel naked and exposed when we are shamed and we need someone to help us move beyond that shame. There is more than one way to be sick or imprisoned. Sometimes our spirits or minds are sick. Sometimes being imprisoned is not from behind bars but imprisoned in or minds that struggle to process information and events that happen in our lives. Sometimes we feel imprisoned when we can't make our bodies do what we want them to do. Sometimes we are imprisoned by fear. As we nurture our relatioship with God may we truly allow that relationship to transform our lives from the inside out in a way that we will do what is fair and just to our neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in our love, And don’t take ourself too seriously— take God seriously so that we will feed the hungry with what they need, help quench the thirst of those who are parched provide a home for the homeless & clothe the naked care for the sick and visit the imprisoned. As we do this, may we not only be the face of God to those in need, but see the face of God in those we serve. May we also be willing to receive help from others in our time of need; seeing the face of God in them and allowing them the opportunity to see the face of God in us. |
