February 9th 2025 -“Most to be pitied”

Dear friends,

THIS WEEK the Rev. Dr. Roland De Vries our Interim Moderator will be with us to lead worship and preach.  He will also lead us in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper.  The sermon this week will be based on the lectionary text of 1 Corinthians 15, and is a reflection on the reality of resurrection.  Paul certainly thought resurrection mattered a great deal—for Jesus and for us.  We’ll try to understand what he meant.
