For Centuries Uncounted

For centuries uncounted, 
We’ve looked for the nature of god, 
With firm faith in books having
Notions some think are odd.

For centuries uncounted, 
We’ve claimed god to be
A Substance. A person.
A Him. And a She.

For centuries uncounted,
We’ve struggled to show
That we alone, are the 
Ones in the know.

For centuries uncounted,
We’ve sought god in church
And finding few answers,
We continue our search.

From Fr. Chris
Mark 3:20-35
 
Jesus began his ministry with a bang.  He healed a man with an unclean spirit, healed a paralytic, healed many people at Simon’s house, invited a tax collector to follow him, bested the Pharisees in several controversies, to name a few accomplishments. In other words, it has been clear both to the crowds and to the unclean spirits that Jesus is working by God’s power, yet many disbelieved him, including his family members, who thought he was “out of his mind.”
Where would you stand if you were a member of the crowd observing these events 2,000 years ago? Are you part of Jesus’ family of God? Jesus says: “Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Additional Urgent Prayer Request for the Vannoy Family
 
I come to you all again today asking for prayers for our sweet Rita Beth and her family. You all remember about a month ago when her grandmother was admitted to the hospital and was told it was her time, she miraculously got better, and was able to come home from the Elizabeth home which is extremely rare. Unfortunately she has probably suffered another stroke they are going to make her as comfortable as possible but her time to go be with the lord will come within the next couple of days. They all seems like so much on our sweet Rita and I can’t imagine all she is facing. Please please pray for Rita and Carolyn, too. Please pray for their nanny, I hope and pray she is as comfortable as possible and the Lord will welcome her with open arms into Heaven. 
We all have done such a wonderful job of rallying around Rita and her family is this tragic season of life. We must continue with prayers. 
 
Thank you all so much, I appreciate all the calls, texts and offers to help over the last few weeks. 
If anyone has any questions give me a call at 8283296145. 
God bless you all, 
Charlotte Garcia 
Children and Family Coordinator
