Loving and Learning in Lodi November 17 2019

            Life is interesting…sometimes we have long stretches of the proverbial ‘smooth sailing’ when everything is going well. Other times we have long stretches of difficulties and challenges…of questioning and struggling. We may even feel like we’re being tossed about by capricious winds that will never stop!
            This Sunday, we’ll look at Jesus and Storms as we affirm our faith in Jesus, compassionately and lovingly, walking with us in the more difficult times of our lives.

                                                                          See you Sunday!                                                                                                                                             Pastor Diane

           One day Jesus and his disciples boarded a boat. He said to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they set sail.

           While they were sailing, he fell asleep. Gale-force winds swept down on the lake. The boat was filling up with water and they were in danger. So they went and woke Jesus, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” But he got up and gave orders to the wind and the violent waves. The storm died down and it was calm.

           He said to his disciples, “Where is your faith?”

           Filled with awe and wonder, they said to each other, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him!”

Leader:    The word of God for the people of God.                        People:    Thanks be to God.
