One of our most recent church visitors, Guinness McKenzie! Grace and peace be with you today, in Jesus Christ:I hope that your Father's Day was a special day. We had a special one at First Pres, with a potluck fellowship supper and a purely enjoyable time.
Thanks to Marj McKenzie, Yvette McFarland and Kenna McKenzie-Young for helping put it on, and to all who helped us clean up. (We have so many "Mc's" in our church, you know it's a Presbyterian church!)
Did you see any of the World Cup yesterday? Team USA held on with tenacity against the dominating Ghana team. Our winning goal came from the corner kick in the last few minutes, which bounced from one American's head to another and into the goal. It just goes to show "two heads are better than one!" USA plays next on Sunday at 2pm MST against Portugal.
It's awesome to imagine all those people from around the world, gathered in Natal, Brazil for "futbol" games. Let's also not forget that we too are a part of something bigger, our membership in the community of Jesus Christ, a worldwide network of fellow believers, brothers and sisters to one another because of Him. This should not be a secret but proclaimed as Good News - that we have one another as our family.
I am always aware on Fathers' and Mothers' Day that not everyone has been so fortunate to have parents as special as mine. But this is yet one more reason why God has given us one another to love and serve. Don't forget to love one another as the family God ordains you have.
As God's family, we must get together more, talk to each other as a network of connected faithful. Here's what's happening this week:
Today: Yoga at High Noon in Fellowship Hall - bring a towel and/or mat if you can
Wednesday 9:00AM Exercise, Eat and Pray Meet in the church kitchen behind the stage. Exercise and fellowship for people who want to stay mobile! It happens every M-W-F.
Wednesday 6:00PM Movie Night in Fellowship Hall - "Chicken Run," a charming claymation movie about chickens dreaming of a life of freedom. See the trailer here: Click here. Bring all your friends and family. It's free. B.Y.O. Munchies
Friday: Exercise Eat and Pray 9:00AM
Saturday: Rotary Golf Tournament call the Tucumcari Golf Club for details 461-1849.
Sunday: Sharon Huffman is our guest preacher! Amy must be away from a meeting in Clovis, as part of her work for the Presbytery Administrative Commission. Thank you to Sharon for stepping into the pulpit.
Monday: Pastor takes a Sabbath. 9:00AM Exercise, Eat and Pray.
FYI - I received word from Deborah Joyce, a woman we assisted with furniture and food just before Thanksgiving that she is doing quite well. She has now moved into a better home than before. However, she is helping a young couple with a small baby try and find a bed and a couch. If you know of a bed and a couch that this family could use, please call me 575-708-0860.
May this be a fantastic and blessed day for you!
In Christ our Lord,
Amy
