Lantern
For the week of April 26th
Amazing Grace and Amazing Worship!
Scripture: Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God”
This Scripture was fundamental to the Reformation. The Reformers, including our Presbyterian forefathers, Scot John Knox and John Calvin, strongly believed that God’s grace is an amazing gift. There is nothing we can do to earn that grace. There is nothing we can do that would merit the denial of that grace. This Sunday, we celebrate our heritage as Presbyterians. I think it is an opportunity to celebrate God’s amazing grace with an amazing worship service. If you have not been to the Kirkin, make a point to come. Invite your friends and neighbors! It is a magnificent celebration of our heritage. Words cannot describe the feeling that comes when we gather to worship God and watch the Parade of Tartans as the bagpipes and drums echo in the sanctuary. Come join us this Sunday!

In our lives: In Bible this week, a child pulled me aside and told me that he had accidentally run into someone and knocked that person down, but didn’t apologize. He said the person was from a different school and had just been visiting, so he couldn’t find him to apologize. I said, “Have you prayed about this?” He responded, “No, why should I?” I answered, “Well, you hurt that person, but you also hurt God, by not caring for that person how God tells us to care for each other. Why don’t you pray about it and then you can know and understand that God forgives you and loves you?” We often don’t stop to consider God’s amazing grace and how much we need that grace. Make time this week to celebrate God’s amazing grace with an amazing worship service.
Kirkin' o' the Tartan!

Meat needed!
We appreciate all of the support that you all give to PCR's Food Pantry. The money raised for the Hunger Walk went to our ACFB account. However, ACFB has no meat to order from right now. That's where we need your help! Please consider donating any frozen meat (ground beef, turkey, ham, pork). We truly appreciate your dedication to the mission of the PCR Food Pantry!
