Resuming Collections for Grace Jordan Pantry

You’re invited to grab one of the “greatest needs” shopping lists (located in the Narthex near the shopping cart) or print out the list included below so you can pick up a few things for our neighbors during your next grocery shopping trip.
As an added spiritual practice, consider saying a silent prayer of gratitude for the ready availability of items on the shelves, and for the families who will receive them. We thank everyone for their support last year and we hope to be able to be just as generous this school year!

BROKEN: Summer Sermon Series
Paul’s letter to the Romans is addressed to people he had never met, in the hopes of encouraging and building up this community to which he dreamed of traveling. He knew the Christian life could be perilous, and the world in which they
lived was increasingly unpredictable and diverse.
This summer, we will explore six intriguing passages from Romans as we consider how God sustains us in the midst of brokenness, and helps us to find wholeness and unity in the midst of life as we know it.
July 16 – “Broken Spirits, Broken Bodies” (Romans 8:1-11)
July 23 – “Labor Pains” (Romans 8:12-25)
July 30 – “Inseparable” (Romans 8:26-39)
August 6 – “All-Inclusive Grace” (Romans 9:1-5)
August 12 – “The End of the Law” (Romans 10:5-15) – Fr. Sean Rogers preaching
August 20 – “God is In Control” (Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32)
