Using Bible 101

When I come across good information and interesting resources that would help people know and understand the Word of God better, I like to share this information.  It seems to me that God has given us an opportunity to open His Word up to more and more people to help them understand God's mission and purpose. The Apostle Paul and the other Disciples could write letters and share those letters, but we have the internet.  How can we use this to increase our understanding of God's gracious gift of salvation?  How can we use it to connect with our young people and teach God's Word to them so they will have it on their hearts for life? Can the internet help us be more effective?  I've created a Screen Cast to tell and show you a little bit about BIBLE 101.  You can see it here:  Please let me know what you think? Send me an e-mail or tell me after worship, or give me a call.

The Right Side Chancel Window

To the right of the altar is the picture of Christ standing at the door and knocking, We read in Revelations these words of Christ,” Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” In worship Christ comes to us. His work for all mankind is the focus of the church’s life these windows teach great lessons about our Savior and bring a great comfort to us.

The Chancel Windows

On either side of the altar are long lancet windows which throw light into the Sanctuary and onto the altar.  These windows do not glare into the eyes of the worshippers but can be viewed as they approach the altar to receive the Lord’s Supper.  To the left of the altar is a life size figure of Christ the Good Shepherd holding a lamb in his arms. Jesus tells us, “I am the Good Shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11 Since Christ and His work for all mankind is the focus of the church’s life these windows bring a great comfort to us.
