In today's sermon, our guest speaker, Terry S, Moderator for Mennonite Church Saskatchewan, asked the question, where we turn for help? Where do we turn for help, be it our daily lives with associated decision-making, when faced with the bigger issues in our lives, our in relationships where profound power differences are often at play? Our faith calls us to look to God because that is where we find support that is unwavering. But, do we have the faith to look to God?

Baptism: Dying and Rising with Christ
Today, we welcomed three people into FMC's fellowship, two via membership transfer and one via baptism. Paul describes baptism as dying and rising with Christ. In baptism we put off the old, the old allegiances, the old attitudes, the old ways of life, the old hatreds, the old life, and put on the new, the ways of the Spirit, like compassion, kindness, humility, mercy, and patience (Colossians 3:12). Oh, and we also celebrated communion!

Today is part three of our worship series on stories of faith. Part of our vocation as Christians is to tell God’s story. Telling stories is one of the most powerful ways of influencing, teaching, and inspiring others. Stories help us learn. Stories forge connections among people, and between people and ideas. Stories convey the culture, history, and values that unite people. In our scripture reading, we see how a simple relationship between a Hebrew and Moabite woman has such a profound impact on Israel’s story. How is God present in our everyday relationships? What great things is God doing through our ordinary relationships? Do you have such a story to share?
