 Blessings

 

When in doubt, pause.
When angry, pause.
When tired, pause.
When really stressed, pause.
 And when you pause, pray.

Responsive Reading: Luke 24:13-29


Leader: 13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village
called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were
talking with each other about everything that had happened.


All: 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other,
Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were
kept from recognizing him.


Leader: 17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you
walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them,
named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem
who does not know the things that have happened there in these
days?”


All: 19 “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they
replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God
and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him
over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;


Leader: 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to
redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took
place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to
the tomb early this morning


All: 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had
seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our
companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had
said, but they did not see Jesus.”


Leader: 25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to
believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah
have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”


All: 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained
to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. 28 As
they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued
on as if he were going farther.

Leader: 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly
 evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown

Sharing a little thrift makeover.  You know what they say, paint changes everything. I thrifted this little ceramic church for $5.00 and was so anxious to repaint it, I neglected to take a before picture.  But imagine if you will , this little church was all one color, kind of a light pony brown.  I couldn't wait to get started!  I was very happy how it turned out.  Remember, if you don't like the color of something, consider painting it.  This little church is now ready for worship!  ~Mindy
