Christian Church

Bruce Symes gave a reading from Gregory Osborne, “Things My Mother Taught Me” at the Mother’s Day service Sunday. He spoke of Jesus on the cross, overcome with the weight of our sins, anticipating giving us the Holy Spirit, and yet he still provided for his mother by saying that John would now be her son, and her his mother. Chase Riebel’s sermon was “Cost of Being a Disciple,” referencing Luke 14:25-35.

The men’s Bible study is at 7 a.m. Tuesday, youth group meets at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, followed by a meal and prayer at 5 and adult Bible study at 7.

Current study is on “Praying the Psalms.” Graduates will be celebrated Sunday. The Creative Blessings women’s life group will meet at the parsonage from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Cowboy Church

The praise band, led by Cindy Beckmon, opened the Mother’s Day service at High Point Cowboy Church, after which Pastor Jon Petty greeted the mothers in the audience.

Returning to Colossians 1:9-18 Pastor Petty touched on living worthy by being fruitful, producing the same things Jesus produced, and increasing your knowledge of God.

UMC

The United Methodist Women were in charge of the Mother’s Day church service. Scripture included Psalm 47: 1-9, Acts 1: 1-11, Ephesians 1: 15-23 and Luke 24: 42-53.
