This Sunday November 2nd, All Saints Sunday, the sermon title is Melting Down the Saints. The Scripture is Romans 1:7-15.

The sermon is based on an incident in the life of Oliver Cromwell when there was a shortage of metal necessary for making coinage.

He instructed his followers to take the statues of the saints in the churches and melt them down so that they could “be put into circulation!”

We will also observe the sacrament Holy Communion.

Hope to see you at worship on Sunday.

This coming Sunday is Homecoming at Lock’s Memorial; so, I will not be at Kedron this week.

Larry Fraley will be speaking in my absence. Larry is an excellent Sunday School teacher and lay speaker; I’m sure he will do a great job.

This Sunday October 5th the Seventeenth Sunday of Pentecost, the sermon title is The Days of Awe. The scripture is Mark 9:14-15.

The theme of the sermon is the importance of awe and its decline.
Awe was once a major element of faith in God and what God has done, is doing, and will do.

I have borrowed the title from the days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; however, the theme is different from the meaning within the Jewish community.

Also, we will observe the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

Hope to see you at worship.

Blessings,

Pastor Michael

This Sunday September 28th Sixteenth Sunday of Pentecost, the sermon title is The Class of ’66. The scripture is Philippians 3:12-16.

It is not a new thing, but Christians are now faced with an increasingly secular culture.

How do we strain forward for the goal of being one with Christ in a world that calls us in other directions?

Charge conference for Kedron and Lock’s will be held at 1:30 pm at Kedron. All are encouraged to attend.

Hope to see you at worship.

Blessings,

Pastor Michael
