This Sunday is recognized by many churches as Ecumenical Sunday. The worship today leads into a week of prayer for Christian Unity, a goal we are to always strive toward.

Eric Ross, our guest preacher, comes to us to share the Word with us. His spiritual journey is one that has touched upon many expressions of the Christian life. He is now a fellow United Methodist coming from our sister church Fellowship on Old Salem Highway. His talents and gifts have led to a place in life where his vocation of truck driver has also joined with that of a teacher with a PhD! He now is in the discernment process of becoming a UM pastor! If I told you much more it might spoil HIS telling it his way!

The John text is about the abundant life the Good Shepherd offers us. And how he gathers his flock from “other folds” as well as the one we are most familiar with. The Corinthian text reminds us of the unity and diversity of the Body of Christ, the Church.

Eric will share the Word and how it has touched him in multiple vocational ways and how it touches all of us in our callings, our talents.

God is the One who does not change but is forever seeing to it that WE change and grow!

See you Sunday!

Blessings!

Pastor Barry
