Dear AFCC,

This week, we found out we have a leak in our main water line at the church. Because of the nature of the issue and the age of the pipe the elders have decided to replace about 40 feet of the pipe. Unfortunately, this means our water needs to stay shut off until the work is complete by a plumber.

The water may be shut off, but we have a plan for tomorrow (and we've tested our plan). We will have enough water in the pipes to flush toilets, wash hands, etc., because we know the people who live next to the church! We are going to "borrow enough water" to get us by. Stay tuned for how this all came about -- we'll briefly tell you the story during announcements.

We will also have enough pre-filtered water (think water bottles) for drinking water and the coffee will be brewed with pre-filtered water as well. Please avoid drinking water directly from any taps out of an abundance of caution.

Parents!

Parents, please note there is a 6 foot trench from the church's foundation all the way to the shut off valve near the street (see attached). There is a temporary, orange fence around this trench, but it will not hold the weight of a child if they lost their footing. Thus, we are asking that NO CHILDREN go near the trench tomorrow at any time, for any reason. Even though they may be capable of safe observation, we are asking our teenagers to stay away, so as not to cause the younger children to "be like the older kids" and go near the trench.

Please speak with your children before arriving at the church and let's all make sure we consider the safety of our young'ins tomorrow. If you see any child near the area, please interrupt and shepherd them to where they should be.

Yours,
Pastor Nick, for the elders

Adult Sunday School

Dear Church,

A common way Christians explain what it means to be a Christian is something like, “It means to have a relationship with God.” They may even say something like, “Christianity is about relationship, not religion.” Have you heard anyone say that before?

The reality is that every person who has ever lived has a relationship with God. To say it negatively, no one is without a relationship with God. And, for the record, everyone is religious – but that’s another topic for another day!

The question, then, is not if we have a relationship with God but what kind of relationship do we have? The doctrine of total (or radical) depravity should remind us that we are not in a right relationship with God and we are incapable and powerless to initiate such a relationship with God. He is holy, we are not. He is righteous, we are not. He is good, we are not.

Therefore, we need to back the conversation up one more step. We ought to ask ourselves, given our sinful nature and sinful deeds, how a holy God can commune with an unholy people? There is an infinite chasm between us and God because of our sin – how can that chasm be bridged?

Answer: God condescending to meet with us on His own initiative. Answer a little more fleshed out: God condescending and committing Himself to us by grace through the Person and work of Jesus Christ. This is commonly called Covenant Theology (although I'm not trying to define it for us just yet).

The elders have chosen Covenant Theology as the adult Sunday School topic for this Fall. Covenant Theology informs the way we think about God, ourselves, the Bible, substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ, the sacraments of baptism & the Lord’s Supper, how we are to live our lives, and how we should view ourselves together as a church.

In a sentence, Covenant Theology is not peripheral to our theology and life, it is vital.

The elders and I look forward to this important study with you! Don’t forget to attend the prayer meeting at 9:15am before Sunday School at 9:45am.

In Christ,
Nick
