Hi friends,
Here’s the latest edition of the “What has Pastor Dan excited today?” gazette.
I’m excited about:
1) Sunday’s worship service. I’m going to be preaching on one of the great gifts that God has given to the church: Holy Communion. I’m going to talk about what it is, why we do it and how we do it. I can make the argument that Communion is the single most important thing that happens in a church and all other good stuff flows from it. I look forward to sharing it with you.
2) Happy New Year! My beloved Detroit Tigers started their season out in Los Angeles last night (Thursday). As we used to say back in my days as a newspaperman, the results of the game were too late for press time to be included in this letter. Of course, the Tigers first game out in LA was just a warm up for the REAL start of summer, next Friday when the Tigers play their first home game. I am pretty sure I am going to have to call off sick that day (cough, cough) from work! Go get ‘em Tigers!
3) Speaking of games, I’m excited because last week’s Game Night drew almost 40 people. It was a different mix of people than our trivia nights – and we had a lot of fun. Our next evening activity will be another trivia night – come with a team or join one on arrival – next Friday, April 4.
4) We’re about half way through the season of Lent – which means Easter is coming! Praise be to God!
That’s about it for my excitement this week – but that feels like plenty!
I hope to see you Sunday morning.
Pastor Dan
P.S. Speaking of trivia, our categories for April 4 will be: Movie quotes, Geography, Cartoons, Superman, Science and the Bible. Your free answers will be: Gone with the Wind, Olive Oyl and Gravity. Remember to bring a goodie to share for our snack table!
