Sunday was Father’s Day, and we discussed the different names Jesus called His father. We talked about the Great “I Am”, “The Good Shepherd”, and this week “Abba, Father”. Jesus knew the time of Hs death was near, so He went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. He took with Him Peter, James and John. When they reached the garden, He asked them to tarry there and watch. Jesus went further into the garden and fell on the ground and prayed. After He prayed, He returned to them and found them sleeping. He asked them could they not stay awake for one hour. Again Jesus went away to pray. And when He returned, He found them asleep again. As He prays, Jesus goes to God with his fears.

Just as Jesus goes to God with His fears and doubts, we can explore what it means for God to be like a loving parent. Or guardian or a trustworthy adult we can go to in times of need. Just as Jesus turned his troubles over to God, we can too

We celebrated Father’s Day making cards and having Blue Bell ice cream! I know Dad felt the love when he received his cards! Hope we see you in church Sunday to learn more about our father. Have a wonderful week!
