First thing, tonight we'll be back at the Boulevard to talk about big questions of life and faith. All questions are welcome and the only rule is respect for all. We start at 8:30 and go to about 10. On Sunday after worship we'll host a potluck lunch to sustain us as we decorate the sanctuary for Advent and Christmas. We'll also touch base on where we are with our mission redefinition as a part of New Beginnings as well as an update on where other congregations are.
Today's reading is short and sweet. Paul reminds his readers that different people have different gifts. A big part of our job as Christians is to prayerfully figure out what gifts God has given us and how we can use those gifts to serve God and help others. As Paul lifts up some specific gifts, he'll continue tomorrow with the most important gift God gives all of us.
Blessings,
Sam

Corinthians 12:27-31
27Now you are the
body of Christ and individually members of it. 28And God has
appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then
deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of
leadership, various kinds of tongues. 29Are all apostles? Are all
prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30Do all possess
gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31But
strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
