• Taking the Sermon Home

  In one way or another, all the appointed texts today (Job 19:23-27; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17; Luke 20:27-38) relate to what happens after our earthly death.  Job asserts he will receive justice at last; the Thessalonians are concerned about the return of Jesus and in Luke, the Sadducees question Jesus about the resurrection.

  -What thoughts and feelings stir within you when you contemplate life after death?

  -How do your thoughts about existence beyond death impact how you live now?

  What do you see around you to affirm Job's proclamation, "I know my redeemer lives?"

  There will be silence, quiet music, and a chance to focus and center the spirit.

  The theme on November 18 will be contemplating our relationships.

• New, Native Pines and Saw Palmettos...Thank You, Bob Welsh!
  

  Thanks to City Commissioner Bob Welsh, the church has Dade County pine trees on the property.  Bob spent hours at church, breaking through coral rock to plant the young trees.  Soon he will be adding saw palmettos.  We thank him for his dedication and hard work!  If you are interested in obtaining free trees, Bob asks that you contact him at 305.753.8395.  He'll even help groups that need assistance with planting.  Together, we can enhance the beauty of our county and restore native plants.
