We had a real blast at the Super Bowl Party last Sunday. There was a table full of scrumptious desserts brought by our members; there were cupcakes, cookies, sugar-free cake, and a chocolate cake laced with cherries. The meal was soft beef tacos with plenty of shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Of course chips and dips accompanied all this.
Melanie and Ronnie Belew along with Tammy and Gene Coan provided and cooked the meal. Ronnie provided the equipment needed to watch the game on a big screen, he and his family set it up and took it down. We appreciate their generosity and Christian service to the members of this congregation and their guests.
A table of senior age ladies had an intense game of Skip-Bo going while the teenagers played games on their Mac Book computers. Other “table” games were enjoyed also. Even our youngest attendees, Leah Kunselman and Joe Salinas found things to do. They stacked dominoes and laughed at the TV commercials for four hours. And no one of any age got a spanking!
Corbin Gordon had a birthday on February 3, Jill Moore will celebrate one on the 11th, and John Miller’s is 12th, Doris Morton and Butch Belew share a birthday on the 17th. Butch and Carolyn Belew’s anniversary
is the 15th.
Margaret Armstrong who is a resident of Good Tree in Stephenville has a new great-great-grandson. His name is Eli and he is a cute fella. Eli is the great-grandson of Margaret’s son Tommy Armstrong. Wow! What a
milestone.
Elizabeth Young is now a resident of Golden Age in Dublin. Elizabeth is currently rooming with our newest member, Debra Hammonds, and they are across the hall from Sibyl Hodges. The ladies are sharing and reading the Upper Room and listening to recorded Sunday services.
The congregation extends sincere sympathy to the family of Peggy Bradley Jurney. Our thoughts and prayers are with you dear friends.
This past Sunday Lee Leatherwood served as our Worship Leader. He asked for announcements, and gave the opening and offertory prayers.
Rev. Ken Lunsford titled his sermon “Everyone is Searching for You! He read from the book of Mark 1: 29-30.
Pastor Ken asked us if we ever noticed how often Jesus appears on the cover of Time and Newsweek magazine. A reporter for the Washington Post said every time Jesus is on the cover they see a spike in their sales. Jesus is still popular and commercially attractive with folks like you and
me.
Over two thousand years ago when Jesus first began his ministry He was popular with the people. Jesus went to the house of Simon Peter where he healed Simon Peter’s mother-in-law. After news of the healing Mark says “That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon possessed. The whole town gathered at the door.” They didn’t have cell phones or Twitter; they communicated the old-fashioned way, person to person.
Further on we read that Jesus left the house and went to a solitary place to pray. Simon and his friends went to look for Him, and when they found him they exclaimed:”Everyone is looking for you!”
This may sound like a cliché, but I believe that even today people are still looking for Jesus Christ. They may not know his name, they might use symbols and different terminology from what we are used to, but they are searching for Christ all the
same.
After all, He is the way, the truth, and the life. And all people need what only Christ can offer them. Everyone needs a sense of direction for their life. We need someone to follow and Jesus goes with us to lead the way. He leads us to a specific destination: life with God the Father.
He is the answer to every man, woman and young person’s deepest need. Jesus gives us purpose for our lives. We need never fear what lies ahead for He goes with us. He has been there Himself; He is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. Our destination is sure abundant life with God
