This Sunday

I did not do the great parable I used last week justice. This week—new sermon on the same scripture: Matthew 20:1-16. Sermon title: “What’s the Deal?”

It is first Sunday. We will gather at the Lord’s Table.

About the Concert

Hey!—according to my calculations, the next
concert is a week from this Saturday! It’s just me. I
better get high behind! I have to get the music to Jason
by this Sunday so he can do the playlist.

Will people come out to see “just me”?

I have no idea.

Some of the music will be surprising.

Concert title: “The Gospel in Story and Song”

I am singing some stuff I love to sing. So we know at least one person will have a good time. (Me!)

The offering was over a thousand dollars at the last concert. And we had a lot of guests. These concerts seem to be doing an important work in the church.

September—at last!

I am excited about the months ahead.

Our church remains a lively place. (Remember—breakfast every Sunday before worship.)

We start a new Sunday school class in late October.

We may break ground soon on the new playground for our children.

We resume a St. Matthew tradition—a big Christmas Concert.

And I will actually take a vacation this year—first in five years. (Gone the first two Sundays of October.)

And who knows? It may get cooler.

I will be looking Sunday—for you.

And I hate being disappointed.

GOD BLESS—-MB
