Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray you are refreshed and encouraged as you continue your journey of
faith.
Laura and I will be in Kansas to attend the WDC Reference Council and a
meeting of the Leadership Commission over the weekend.
Ruth Anne will be our preacher this next Sunday. Her sermon title is
'New Earth, Heavens New.' Scriptures she will consider are Jeremiah
14:7-10, 19-22; Psalm 84:1-7; Luke 18:9-14; and 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18.
Next weekend we will celebrate Mennonite Heritage Sunday. So far no one
has indicated they will be sharing a story or memory from Mennonite
history. All of us, whether we grew up in the Mennonite faith or
intentionally became a part of this community, we all have experiences
from which a story could be fashioned that would enrich the
congregation. We will not have time for everyone to speak, however let
us all reflect on our Mennonite heritage that we might be grateful for
the blessings of and our participation in this specific witness of faith
in the way of Jesus.
The Worship Schedule for the remaining week in October and the
Announcements follow.
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
