It’s that simple.
I love what Frederick Buechner says about life in his book Wishful Thinking.
A sacrament is when something holy happens. It is transparent time, time which you can see through to something deep inside time.
Generally speaking, Protestants have two official sacraments (the Lord’s Supper, Baptism) and Roman Catholics these two plus five others (Confirmation, Penance, Extreme Unction, Ordination, and Matrimony). In other words, at such milestone moments as seeing a baby baptized or being baptized yourself, confessing your sins, getting married, dying, you are apt to catch a glimpse of the almost unbearable preciousness and mystery of life.
Needless to say the church isn’t the only place where the holy happens. Sacramental moments can occur at any moment, any place, and to anybody. Watching something get born. Making love. A high-school graduation. Somebody coming to see you when you are sick. A meal with people you love. Looking into a stranger’s eyes and finding out he’s not a stranger.
If we weren’t blind as bats, we might see that life itself is sacramental.
from Wishful Thinking by Frederick Buechner
We look forward to experiencing the sacrament of communion on Sunday as we enjoy the sacrament of living every day.
I had an interesting experience this past week with a dying man.
I love it when God holds the door open.
Come on in!!!
Are you receiving emails from the e-prayerline?
One of the tools we use for prayer is the e-prayerline. There’s hardly a day goes by that there is not something on it.
Be sure you never mark an email from the e-prayerline as spam or Google will begin to put all of those emails into the spam folder.
If you have not been receiving email prayer requests, please check your own spam folder. Mark any e-prayerline messages in that folder as “not spam”.
If you attend and would like to subscribe to the e-prayerline, please give your email address to Pastor Steve.
Once again, people are receiving texts or other communication from scammers, identifying as the pastor (even your own pastor) asking for donations. If this seems to come from Pastor Steve or Curwensville Alliance it is a SCAM. 😐
Neither Pastor Steve nor Curwensville Alliance will text, call, or otherwise contact you asking for money.
We don’t do ministry that way.
We never have. ❤️
