Hebrews 5:1-10

     1Every high priest chosen from among mortals is put in charge of things pertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.   2He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness;  3and because of this he must offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. 4And one does not presume to take this honor, but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was. 5So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”;6as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” 7In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of hisreverent submission.  8Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;9and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, 10having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

This Week's Opening Prayer

 O God, Your praise is ever on our lips.  Songs of joy swell within us.  We gaze at creation and behold goodness; we hear of your covenant and discover righteousness.  Your love is boundless, your care without limits.  We enter into your sanctuary to give you honor; we bow down before you with glad adoration.  Receive our worship and accept our thanksgiving.  You are God whom we serve forevermore.  Receive our prayer in the name of Jesus.  Amen. 







Christ is Risen!
Alleluia!

Thinking about Needs-Based Evangelism...Can evangelism really mean feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, welcoming the stranger, and caring for the sick?  The answer may surprise us.

In The Westminster Dictionary of Theological Terms, Donald K. McKim defined evangelism as the sharing of the gospel of Jesus Christ through a variety of means.  However, this word carries much cultural baggage and must be carefully considered by all church ministries in the coming months.  Here are few sites that may encourage this discussion:
