The sun filled sanctuary created a cordial setting to worship this first Sunday of February at Pleasant Hill. The Bread and Wine were set and waiting for the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, Holy Communion.
While attendance was low, the spirit of the Lord was high. Scriptures for the week
are taken from Genesis and John:
"So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life." Genesis 3: 23 - 24.
Written by John in the 12th chapter Jesus predicted his death and also the demise of "The prince of this world." Jesus said, "'Now is the time for judgment on this world, now the prince of this world will be driven out. But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.' He said this to show the kind of death he was gong to die." John 12: 31 - 33.
Today also marked the opening celebration of Black History Month. Today's speakers were Ursala Hellams and Toni Carter. There will be two Black History speakers each Sunday through February.
