Agape newsletter - Special where’s the Spider-Man part? Also: Grace and The Ugly Daughter
Hello all,
Welcome in to another action packed Agape newsletter. In this episode, Spider-Man tangles with Doctor Octopus, and the secret of the upcoming message this Sunday is revealed.
This Sunday, we will be seeking God in a strong time of worship, followed by a message called, “Grace and the Ugly Daughter”. It is a message that will seek to lead us in better understanding God’s grace in our lives, and how that grace impacts us in our trials, our disappointment, our struggles with ourselves, and our interaction with the world around us. We often sing the song, “Your Grace is Enough”. but is grace a place where we live, a reality that we grasp and draw life-breath from, or is it just a concept that we sing and hear about in church? We will look at grace through the eyes of an unattractive (dare I say ugly?) and unloved woman, and see how God saw her struggles and came and visited her with His grace. If you’ve ever felt like this life was almost intolerable in all of its unfairness, then maybe taking a look at God’s grace in the life of this seemingly unfortunate person, will encourage you.
Upcoming Events:
Saturday (tomorrow) Ladies Tea/Lunch gathering. Meet at Agape at 11:00 am, to travel together to the Ruby Radish Tea room and eat delectable treats together. Sadly, men are not invited, though I would consider disguising myself as a woman and going for the yummy food, if not for the fact that I have to watch our nine or so kids. Somebody needs to organize a men’s gathering at the All-You-Can-Eat Meat Hut!
Our Genesis homegroup will be this Sunday night at 6:00pm. All are invited - feel free to bring some food or drink to share!
Sunday, August 29 we will have our brief, quarterly family meeting right after our Sunday morning meeting, followed by a covered dish fellowship meal. These meals are a great opportunity to get to know each other better, while enjoying some delicious food - sounds like a win-win proposition!
Prayer Requests:
Please remember Vivian Hughes, Lynn, Ann and Sue’s mom, who fell and broke her hip/femur Wednesday night. She had surgery yesterday. Please pray for her heart to be healthy and strong, and for her leg to be healed, and for her spirit to soar!
Please pray for Evelyn, Steve Sellers’ mom, as well as Steve and Sue, and Steve’s family. Steve’s mom has struggled for a long time with the illness she is currently facing, and it is been a great trial for all the family to endure. Please pray for a fresh wind of refreshment from God to blow on Steve and Sue, and Evelyn, and the rest of the family.
All for now - see you Sunday!
