Sunday, November 27 Discipleship Recap
Adult On Sunday November 27 the Rector's Forum studied chapter 7 of Judges - a continuation of Gideon's story - learning again the lesson that our own "strength of arms" is not what wins the battle, but God's gracious will, plan and power. So we continue to see the New Testament theology of salvation by faith through grace alone play out in the Old Testament stories. We also continued in discussion to share ways by which we are encouraged and confirmed in living by such faith in God and not ourselves. Next Sunday, December 4, we'll finish Gideon's story in Judges 8 - come and see!
Student Ministry We revisited Galatians 2:20-21 (posted below for reference). We read the passage carefully and slowly three times and opened the floor for students to have the freedom to openly share how the Holy Spirit was speaking to them through these words of truth and discuss how God was calling them to directly apply it to their lives this week. I was encouraged to hear how the truth that Christ lives in them and loved them to the point of giving himself for them would transform their lives in practical and powerful ways.
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness was through the law then Christ died for no purpose.” Christ Church Kids In Children's Church the kids are starting a nativity project. Each Sunday they will take the time to learn about what important role the angels played, why the shepherds were the first to be told of the birth of Jesus, and more! Check out the letter below in ways you can include your child or grandchild in learning about the Christmas story at home too!
