This Sunday we will think about what we expect of God, of Jesus.
Our Scriptures speak of Jesus and his concern for the people he met. He said they seemed lost and struggling; like sheep without a Shepherd.
The second Scripture tells of the man who was lame for so long. When he saw Peter and John he begged for money, not knowing that they could help him in other ways.
Let’s think of all that we ask of or long for God to do for us. Are we asking for the right things or are we missing an important lesson from Jesus?
The Service will be on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9563927372?pwd=elpkeFJkSkYwQ24rT21tRE9ucGtUUT09
