Dear Road Church members and friends,
I pray you will enjoy this Fourth of July weekend safely with family and friends. This week’s message comes from Psalm 86:4 as it reads in the New Living Translation, Give me happiness, O Lord, For I give myself to you. I was drawn to this scripture verse because the Declaration of Independence lists the “Pursuit of Happiness” as one of our unalienable rights. The Declaration sees happiness primarily as a human achievement, but scripture sees happiness primarily as a gift of God. I will be addressing the many facets of happiness in my message this weekend.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
1) This Sunday, July 5, my sermon will be, “The Pursuit of Happiness.” Psalm 86: 4 and Matthew 5: 3-10
2) It is also our Communion Sunday, so after my sermon I will I conduct a brief communion service. If you wish to participate, have the elements with you so you can join me in breaking the bread and drinking from the cup.
3) Wednesdays at 10:00 am I am offering a Bible Study discussion classes on the ZOOM video conferencing program. We are reading through the Book of Acts. If you would like to participate, or learn more about it, you may call me at 860-759-6720 or email me at: normerlendson@gmail.com.
Fourth of July Blessings to all,
Pastor Norm Erlendson 860-759-6720 normerlendson@gmail.com
