Tuesdays with Gerry: Jonah 1:1-16 Comments

Posted on April 3, 2020 by Admin

Hi class–welcome to Tuesdays With Gerry. This week I am sending the questions on Jonah chapter one with my comments. Please compare them with your own–and feel free to send the results of your own study with questions/thoughts to me and/or the whole class. This can be a great learning process for all of us.

Next Tuesday I will send questions on chapter 2. I do hope you enjoy this study of Jonah as much as I am enjoying it. Stay well and remember the parable of Solomon asking his wisest servant for a ring inscribed with a saying which would always be true. The saying? “This, too, shall pass.” We need this assurance as we face COVID-19 and enforced isolation.
Love,
Gerry

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Admin

WINGS – DO YOU BELIEVE WE CAN END HOMELESSNESS?

Representatives of our Wings Group, Jim Young and Peggy Benedum, attended the Smart Solutions to Homelessness Summit on December 1st. This Summit was attended by almost 250 community members who came to learn more about homelessness, discuss its impacts, hear about innovative solutions taking form in other communities and establishing a plan for greater community engagement and action.

The Church and Human Trafficking

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Admin

Please check out the Mount Hermon website by clicking on the header above. This is a wonderful opportunity that is coming to our own back yard!

Dates: June 1-3
Speaker: Mark Labberton
Musician: Justin McRoberts
Youth Speaker: Zach Hunter

The rates are all posted on the website: www.mounthermon.org/humantrafficking . There is a special “no housing” rate that is not yet on the website. For the whole weekend it is $124 per person and for Saturday only it is $64 per person.

This weekend will be very much what we think of as a “Traditional” retreat. 4 general sessions with a speaker and worship, recreation options, and meals included. It will also be a time of education and training as we will have 4 seminar times with 5 options being offered in each time slot. It’s a great weekend for people who want to learn more about human trafficking in the beautiful setting that Mount Hermon offers. It is our hope that people will walk away from this conference not only with a greater knowledge about the issue, but also with very practical and applicable steps for how they can be involved in the fight against human trafficking.

Please contact Pastor Dawn or Karyl Erickson if you are planning to go or have further questions.
