Dear Road Church Friends,   

This letter is a reminder about the all-Church meeting in our Parlor at 5:30 pm on Monday, August 30, rescheduled because of last week’s storm. This will be the first with others to soon follow. Our purpose will be to discuss our plans going forward through the end of this year, as well as sharing ideas about our 350th Church anniversary celebration in 2024. We will hear from our Church Board leaders as they report on various aspects of our Church ministries, and finances. This will also be an opportunity to discuss how we should proceed with our Sunday service beginning this Fall, especially with regard to our music program and our holiday services.

SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:17-20    SERMON:  We Are Citizens in a Colony of Heaven

     Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

PRAYER

     O God, the Father of mankind, inspire us, and fill the people of this land with the spirit of justice, truth and love, that in all of our dealings with one another we may show that the source of all our good is our faith in you and our heavenly citizenship.

     Grant us the grace to work together with honest and faithful hearts, each caring for the good of all, seeking first your kingdom and righteousness through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Blessings to all,

Pastor Norm
