June 16 E-News

Announcements
Tornado WorkI’m not entirely sure what our options are, but I feel a responsibility to be involved with the ongoing disaster relief.  If you are interested in being involved, let me know, and also when and how you can work.  That way, when opportunities arise, I can know how best to schedule.

Men’s BreakfastThis Saturday, the men will gather for breakfast at 8:00.  We’re going to talk about tornado relief.

June 26Bassam Issa, from the Islamic Association of Chattanooga, will be our guest during the Sunday School hour.  Please plan to be here at 9:30 to hear what he has to say to us!

$.02/MealJuly 24 will be our next collection date.  Why advertise this now?  To remind you to collect two pennies for every meal you eat!  We’re hoping to hit $200 this month.

Pray for…
John L. Wright, who is recovering at home.

Text for this Week

Luke 17:1-10

Jesus said to his disciples, “Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.” 

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 

“Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here at once and take your place at the table’? Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink’? Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!’”
