summer sermon series

 Our summer sermon series is on the Psalms of Ascent. This is section of 15 Psalms (120-134) that each come with an inscription saying “A Psalm of Ascent” Most scholars believe these were psalms for Temple pilgrimages, where you would sing them on the way to Jerusalem or as you walked up the steps to the Temple. So, in a way, these are both songs for a journey AND prayers for approaching God. Eugene Peterson refers to this section as a “dog-eared songbook” that God’s people have used for generations and still are perfect for us to sing today because “there are no better songs for the road for those who travel the way of Christ.” May we all grow closer to Him this summer.   

If you would like to delve even deeper into this series, I’d recommend these resources:  

• Derek Kidner’s Commentary on Psalms 73-150 – Kidner was one of my favorite Old Testament scholars but this commentary isn’t overly technical or academic but actually very readable!  
• A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society by Eugene Peterson. This book, which I quoted earlier is a classic on discipleship and Christian formation. It actually lines up really well with the Discipleship series we’re finishing as it walks through different aspects or characteristics of discipleship but Peterson uses the Psalms of Ascent as his guide through most of the book which I think will help in applying the Psalms to our personal lives each week.

 VBS GAVE A BRIGHT PATH TO JESUS

 Fairview EPC and Glenmoore UMC’s Adventurers searched and explored the island and God’s Word to uncover God’s light for their lives and reflect that light to others!

Explorers were guided by Beacon the Puffin (our very own Puppeteer!) on an exciting quest to discover clues to finding and learning how God's light shines in the lives from familiar biblical characters in Old and New Testaments.  

All nineteen children learned from our teachers God loves us and will never leave us.  This was reinforced by our themed games, crafts and even snacks!

Thank you so much to those who worked in our snack shack, Bible lesson discovery, craft station, and island games…and special thanks to Roy Adler, Bill Finch, Jenn and our group chaperones too!  It would not have come together without the help from all of you from both churches!  All of those efforts gloried our God and reached those in our community needing to know the love of Jesus. Onward and upward to next year!
