Welcoming

This Sunday at 10:30 a.m. we will welcome the Rev. Cindy Kohlmann, Resource Presbytery for Boston Presbytery, as our guest preacher. Cindy’s sermon is entitled “Welcoming” and it is drawn from Mark 9: 30-37, in which Jesus tries to teach his disciples that he will suffer and die, after which the disciples argue about which one of them who was the greatest. Jesus then says, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.”Jesus then takes a child and places the child in the midst of the disciples and says, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.” I’m looking forward to Cindy’s sermon on this passage.
