Joyfully Remembering Jesus
We will be taking Communion this morning at our church,
which means that we will be remembering.
We will be remembering the truth of Jesus. We will be remembering who He is. And we will be intentionally remembering the
extraordinarily merciful, gracious, loving thing He has done to give us forgiveness
and life! It’s no wonder that I have a joyful heart, huh?

E-Flash From Dan -- Set Clocks Ahead One Hour
Dear E-Flash Friends;
You know what happens this weekend, right?
You don’t? Okay, here’s a hint: It happens late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.
Now do you know?
If you mentioned something about me and Double Stuff Oreos you’ve made a good point, but that’s not what I’m getting at.
It’s the time change weekend! Yep, this weekend we set the clocks ahead one hour. Or, if you’re one of those folks who happens to be late all the time, try setting it ahead an hour and 20 minutes, or so.
I thought a little reminder might be helpful.
Also, we will be looking at Galatians 3:26-29 at the services on Sunday morning and talking about being children of God through faith in Christ. Do you know how wonderful it is to be a child of God? Well, come this Sunday and find out. You will be blessed. And having slept for one less hour you will have that heightened sense of awareness and alertness that happens when you are up and at it and don’t get too much sleep!
(See how I turned that into a positive?)
We will also be celebrating Communion at church this Sunday. I mention that so we will think about Jesus and all that He’s done for us and we will come with grateful, sensitive, focused hearts.
See you then!
Blessings,
Dan

The Church Will Soon Gather... I Love It!!!
I’m sitting in my office doing some last minute preparations. In about 15 minutes the worship team will begin a run-thru and then at 9 o’clock the first of 2 services begins. We will glorify God; we will sing; we will take Communion; we will listen to the teaching of God’s word; we will talk and laugh and love each other. We are not a perfect church, but we are God’s church. I love it!!!

E-Flash From Dan, Summer 2011
Dear E-Flash Friends;
Jesus had this compelling way of putting an interesting and surprising twist on a story. In one of Jesus’ parables, a religious leader who keeps the law with great discipline and devotion does not wind up being the hero.
You say, “Huh…?”
And in the same story (from Luke chapter 18) the no-good tax collector—rotten scoundrel that he is—does not wind up being the bad guy.
You say, “Hold on! What is the point of this tale?”
Well, the story offers us some helpful and important insights into pride, humility and forgiveness. And if you want to find out more—I hope you do because it’s cool—then plan on being here this Sunday! (By the way, there are extra credit points with God when you go to church in July before going to the beach. You knew about that, right?)
I’m excited to be back from my break. I had a wonderful opportunity to study and read and do some writing. And I also had time to swim, pet a manatee, do some snorkeling, and make underwater videos!
(I tried to combine some of the activities that I mentioned in the paragraph above, but I found out that manatees really aren’t interested in hearing me read to them. ….And the pages of the book get really wet when you try.)
But I’m ready to be back and I’m privileged to be able to teach from this great passage in Luke chapter 18, as well as lead us in Communion, this Sunday, July 17th (let’s remember to prepare our hearts for the Lord’s table). I’m looking forward to seeing you all and worshipping with the church I love!
Hope to see you this Sunday!!!
Love and blessings,
Dan
P.S. As always, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY thanks to Chris Donnelly for preaching while I was gone. …Did I mention A LOT of thanks to Chris? Okay, I just want to be sure. What a blessing it is to have such a wonderfully gifted, passionate and willing teacher in our church. Praise God!
