In Mark 13:24-27, 32-37, Jesus invites us to consider what He will one day do. He will Return, but His Second Coming will be utterly unlike the first.

Christians who think too little of the cross will look too much like the world. It's when we fill our mind and allow our hearts to be melted by the reality of Christ's crucifixion that we are transformed into cross-shaped people whose lives are marked by His love and service. Check out this week's message from Mark 10:32-45.

I thoroughly enjoyed hiking in Maine (and proving that I remain woefully out of shape), but I missed being with you last week.  I'm looking forward to seeing you at the picnic tomorrow and as we gather for worship on Sunday. Love ya, PK

We've had an amazing week at Musical Theater Camp! Thank you SO much for praying for each one of our campers and ministry volunteers.
