Hi everyone! Pastor Gaylene here! We have arrived at the last day of July! That means August begins tomorrow and I have heard that we will be in the 90 degree temps for a few days. I hope y’all did not put your sweaters and hot chocolate away! They may come in handy. It is Texas after all!
Quick message: due to the excessive heat outside of the church and the heat that is generated in the church kitchen, Burrito Breakfast will be cancelled for tomorrow and will resume on the first Saturday in September. The monthly pot-luck is also cancelled.
This week’s message is found in
Matthew 14: 13-21. You have heard the story of the Feeding of the 5000. Great story. What you may not know or remember is that Jesus comes into this story just after the death of his cousin, John the Baptizer. Jesus goes to the side of the mountain to grieve the loss of John who is only about six months older than Jesus. Jesus often went to a quiet place to grieve and pray without his disciples. But this time there was great need. The crowd followed Jesus close to where he was and Jesus spoke to them, healed their diseases and fed them dinner. Come and hear a wonderful story that helps us understand the meaning of this time honored passage of scripture. It’s a great story!
Worship begins at 9:00. We are a casual dress, coffee drinking bunch of folks. We welcome ALL who come through our doors. ALL ARE WELCOME here at Hope Lutheran Church in Springtown, Texas! Sooooo……..
Come and see.
Come as you are.
Come and fellowship.
Come and worship.
See you Sunday! Love’ya! PGC Pastor Gaylene Chrystie
