The next month brings lots of finishes and beginnings.
This Sunday (April 6) is our wrap-up of the Daniel Sermon Series (you can find the YouTube series here) with Daniel 12 as followed by communion to close the service.
The following week (April 13) is Palm Sunday and we are going to look at Jesus at the most excitable moment of his life and the most normal moments of his life. Hint: both have to do with tables.
The next week is Easter! That will be a wonderful celebration and the message will be a fun and lively look at the importance of time and choices.
We will also be getting ready for a new sermon series that begins the following week. We are going to crowd-source Bible verses should be read in schools if Idaho chooses to require it.
April 27 we talk about “Why Read The Bible At All?” - and you will not want to miss that one!
Then will begin a walk though vital Bible verses that should read - if you are going to mandate the reading of Bible verses.
Please send your suggestions to Pastor Bo at bo@twin.church
The next couple of weeks will be fun in our conversational Sunday School class at 10am.
This coming Sunday (April 6) we will circle back in our study of world religions to talk about Hinduism from the book “God Is Not One” and then we will look at the Methodist “Social Principles” [link here].
The following week (April 13) we will do a recap of our comparative study of world religions and then talk about the article “Why Easter Christians Won’t Be Back”. Things are changing, that is obvious, and we need to talk about some important implications of those changes.
Then we have Easter Sunday (April 20) and between the Sunrise Service and Centennial Park and the 11am worship gathering in the sanctuary, we will have a catered breakfast in the Friendship Room. No Sunday School that day.
We come back on April 27 for a new set of topics like “How Covid Changed Us” look-back 5 years on.
Come and join in these engaging conversations at 10am in the Friendship Room. You can also email Pastor Bo at bo@twin.church with suggestions of topics that you would like to talk about.
