another healing

Good afternoon friends,
I'd like to remind you that tomorrow in worship Rev. Pauline Braggins will be helping lead worship as a celebration of her 28th ordination anniversary. Fittingly, we'll also be ordaining and installing new elders to lead our congregation. It will be a joyful day, so I hope you'll be there.

Today's reading is a short one, and the focus shifts back to Peter. It's a simple healing story, that reminds us that God cares about our physical as well as spiritual well being.
Blessings on your day,
Sam




Acts 9:32-35
32Now as Peter went here and there among all the believers, he came down also to the saints living in Lydda. 33There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, for he was paralyzed. 34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed!” And immediately he got up. 35And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
