SEPTEMBER QUIVER

Volume 69, Issue 7 September, 2020

Pastor’s Letter
For those able, we will tentatively offer worship in the sanctuary on October
4th, Worldwide Communion Sunday. The details can be found within this issue of the
Quiver. We will also continue to broadcast the service to the parking lots at FM 93.7
and using Zoom via smart devices and traditional phones. As your pastor, I
encourage all who are at risk from the virus to continue to worship remotely; in fact,
since I’m also in this category, I will be leading worship live, via an Internet
connection. There will come a time when a vaccine will be readily available, and
at that point, we will all be able to gather again in one place. Until then, we will
continue to worship the Lord as one congregation in many different locations.
This month will also see us talk about One Great Hour of Sharing, which was put
on hold back in March, when the pandemic first took hold. Sadly, the needs
addressed by this offering have only gotten worse. As I write this, the Gulf is still
picking up from the devastation caused by a hurricane, and In California, wildfires
continue to burn – many of which – burn out of control. In both these cases,
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (one of the groups that benefit from the offering) is
at work, serving Christ by serving people in need. I encourage you to consider
supporting this excellent ministry of the Presbyterian Church.
September also marks the beginning of a number of sermons exploring the
Holy Spirit at work in the life of one of the lesser-known leaders within the Early
Church. Given his relative lack of fame, I decided to call it, “Finding Barnabas.” His
life and ministry are a sorely needed breath of fresh air.
In many ways, this month will be different than Septembers of past years, but
what’s important will not change: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today
and forever” (Hebrews 13:8, NRSV).
As always, love and enjoy God forever, Matt
