Happy 4th of July everyone. Â This Sunday a lot of The Gathering Church will be scattered out of town enjoying the holiday with friends and family. Â We will still be meeting at our usual time, 5p.m. at the United Church, 1321 MLK Jr. Blvd.
We will be looking at a passage in Matthew Chapter 9:14-17 where Jesus explains his actions with an illustration about new wine and old wine skins. Â Whether a fan of Red or White, there will be something to gain from a closer look at this passage.
I look forward to seeing you then.
Personal: Â Libby and I are in Nashville visiting our son Will and his wife Tiffany. Â On one of the last times I came to Nashville I bought a black cowboy hat (think Lonesome Dove). Â As we were packing to leave the next morning, Libby asked me ‘How do you plan on getting that thing home?’ Â I had planned on the hat making the journey in the usual fashion, atop my head. Â After some debate, I must say that it was awesome walking through RDU like I just got off the road with Montgomery Gentry. Â It doesn’t take much for shallow people to feel cool.
