The pastor at Immanuel United Church of Christ in Carlyle has been
reviewing some of those "least talked about" texts from the gospel of
Luke as a part of our worship on Sundays. Though some of the other
gospel writers report many of the same stories that Luke tells, Luke
stresses different points in the story to reveal the true identity of
Christ. This coming Sunday, September 1, pastor Ken Schafer will turn
to the 10th chapter of Luke as he tells of the sending of the 70 to
bring the news of "Peace" to the surrounding towns and villages. What
kind of "peace" was being referred to? While this story may sound
familiar to one Luke reports of at the beginning of chapter 9, the
sending of the 70 has a slightly different twist. All are invited to
come worship with us at 10am on Sunday as the pastor tells of
"Bringing the News of Peace" at the church located at 1970 Clinton
Street in Carlyle. Being the first Sunday of the month, we will also
be celebrating Communion as we recognize the sacrifice Christ made on
the cross to seal the "New" covenant with God for the forgiveness of
our sin. In the United Church of Christ, we have open Communion where
all who hunger for spiritual food are invited to participate.
ALL are invited to worship with us!
Attendees are asked to bring in personal care or canned food item(s) to supplement donations for the Clinton County Matthew 25 Food Pantry.
