Emory Methodist Church News from Sunday
“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.” Luke 1:41
Rev. Banks message “God Keeps His Promises: The Sound of Joy” with scripture text taken from Luke 1. What happiness, what joy to have someone to whom you speak on terms of equality is the description of Mary and Elizabeth’s spiritual kinship as both women face unusual, yet joyous, circumstances! Mary’s song describes that kind of joy. As Communion was served the promises of Jesus were revealed as the body of Christ given for you and the blood of Christ given for you. God keeps His promises.
Service of Remembrance on Wednesday December 3rd was very special as candles were lite in remembrance, hope and encouragement. Thanks to Linda Ross who works so hard to make this so very special.
Then on the 6th Our Live Nativity Play was a great success. Thanks to all the folks who came out to drink hot chocolate and sit on bales of hay to hear the story of Jesus’ birth. A great big thanks to Nancy Bowyer, Cay House and Bonita Calhoun for making this event so wonderful and of course all the actors and people behind the scenes.
Happy birthday to Myland Franklin.
Prayers for Wanda Yarborough, Sherian Gowin.
Have a joyous week and be kind.
