StAC LinX Email for September 28, 2022
Sunday, October 2, 2022 -  Unchained Faith  (World Communion Sunday)

Sunday, October 2, 2022 - Unchained Faith (World Communion Sunday)

Rev. Geoffrey

What’s the best advice you ever received? 
We will look at one of Paul’s pastoral letters, in which he offers a young pastor some good advice on how to follow Jesus.
“The word of God is not chained,” Paul writes  to Timothy. 
How well do we use our freedom to proclaim our faith?

Are you very thankful for one of your family members?

Are you very thankful for one of your family members?

On Thanksgiving Sunday we will be focused on our gratitude for our families and all they are and do for us!

Who are you especially thankful for? Rev. Peter is looking for a few people who are very thankful for one family member in particular, and would like to share that with the congregation. Simply use your phone to record yourself telling us who (first name, or "aunt" or "dad") and why you are thankful. This is SHORT! 30 seconds.... 45 seconds max! (30 seconds is better)  Depending on how many we receive they will be sermon illustrations and popping up in the service, and will be a part of our worship service that will reside on YouTube.  This does not have to be a Hollywood quality production, just a real one. Would you like to have a moment to publicly acknowledge someone in your family for whom you are thankful?
We’d like to help you de-clutter!!
