Fresh Expressions of church and Pentetecost sermon notes

Graham Cray's excellent presentation on Fresh Expressions is online at the Church of Scotland webite. It's well worth a look. It will be referenced in my Pentecost sermon, May 31.

In Sunday's sermon I expect to quote from the following sources:

Emily Bazelon's article Sotomayor sides with the Cops in Slate magazine.

The Harvest Seasons of Ancient Israel.

I don't know that I agree with the author, or that he isn't grinding an axe, but here is a link to a short article on the emerging church.

New Books

I just ordered this one and can't wait to read it. Get it, read it, let's discuss it.

I've read this one and have really been thinking about it. This book seems to explain the state of the church today. I recommend it!

Guests from South Africa

Earlier this month six ministers and elders from South Africa came to Pensacola to talk with leaders in the presbytey. Below Walk is pictured with Vuyo 'Victor' Mbaru of the Khayakhulu Village Church in northern South Africa, in the first picture Rev Dr Spiwo Xapile (l) is pictured with another South African and Elder Pat Patterson of Trinity, Pensacola. (Check out the J.L. Zwane church on the web.)

as with other word clouds (wordles) you can click it to go to their site and see a bigger picture. I wish I knew enough HTML to make this bigger; I don' think it is hard.

Living Waters for the World

Two years ago Anne Louise, Jack McNulty, and I went to Mexico to work on a Living Waters for the world project. Here is a great video about it.

Habitat for Humanity

Work started May 2 at the Presbyterian Habitat house on Mallory off MLKjr Dr in Pensacola. Many thanks to elders Susan, Lamar, and Bill.

At bottom, Walk and Bill are standing together amid the frames.

Relay for Life

Friday's Relay for Life walk at Tate High School was a great success. Many thanks to Kitty Yax and MANY members and friends who made the event a great success.
