“… whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven;

they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

Mark 3:29

 

This week as we continue our study in the Book of Mark we come across the above verse where Jesus talks about a sin that will never be forgiven and we wonder, “Is there something in our lives that we have done that God won’t forgive?” Is there a deep sin that He won’t forgive? Come this Sunday morning as we see what this passage means for us.

 

It is a busy weekend at church with an All-Church Work Day on Saturday starting at 8:00am, followed by a Memorial Service for Maxine Elliot at 1:00pm. On Sunday join us for Worship at 9:45am, followed by Adult Sunday School at 11am and the Women’s Tea at Joy Wray’s house at 2pm.

 

Have a great rest of the week and I hope that you can join us some time this weekend.

I just checked the weather app. on my phone and the temperatures are supposed to drop this weekend so it will be a perfect day for a picnic this Sunday!

 

I hope that you will make plans to be at our Sunday Worship Service and All-Church Potluck Picnic at Lindo Lake. Worship starts at 9:45am followed by the picnic. There should be plenty of food (you all are good at bringing food*), games and all the amenities of the park to have a great day.

 

Looking forward to being together.

 

 

*Please note that there are no electrical outlets at the pavilion.

“And now these three remain:

faith, hope and love.

But the greatest of these is love.”

(1 Corinthians 13:13)

 

This week I have the privilege of officiating my first wedding in the LCPC sanctuary and there has been a long list of “firsts” in preparation for the ceremony and learning how things are done around here.

 

One of the joys of officiating at a wedding is the “charge” that I get to give to the couple. Now I know they aren’t going to remember what I say but I do love the passage from which I will be speaking.

 

It is from 1 Corinthians 13 and they are Paul’s well-known words about love. The summary that he gives about the attributes of love is a triad of values: faith, hope and love. These three virtues are an important foundation for a marriage but they are also an important part of life. Faith gives us something to trust, and for the Christ follower, we place our faith, our trust, in Him. Hope is an outlook toward the future. It is knowing that God is at work and will provide for a future where His kingdom will come, on earth just as it is in heaven. This hope is something that helps us now. The final virtue is love. It is a love that expects nothing in return. We love, unselfishly, following the example of Jesus who loved the world all the way to the cross.

 

So, this Memorial Day weekend, as we are going about our various activities, whether we are staying in town or going away for the weekend, may we live and talk about this triad of virtues, faith, hope and love and as we do, may we make a difference for the expansion of God’s Kingdom.

 

Know that I am praying for you. Have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend.
