WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE?:

AN ECUMENICAL CONVERSATION

What happens when a Roman Catholic Priest, an Episcopalian priest, a United Church of Christ pastor, and a Presbyterian pastor get together? We aren't sure either, but we're going to find out, and you're invited, too!

As a way to get to know better our neighbors, the clergy of the First Presbyterian Church (USA), the Holy Family Catholic Church, the St. John United Church of Christ, and the Trinity Episcopal Church invite you to attend a four-part conversation in community. The title of this series will be: "What Makes Us Who We Are?"

While it is easy to recognize all the ways we are different, these conversations aim to help us discover all the ways we are already similar and share common interests and characteristics. This will be a time of learning and laughter, and each discussion will conclude with light refreshments - a feature sure to be the first thing that binds us in common.

The dates for these lively (and informative) conversations will be:

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10TH

Trinity Episcopal Church

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14TH

Holy Family Catholic Church

Each conversation begins at 7:00 pm and is free to everyone.

Sign up in the Family Room beginning August 18.

KIDS WORSHIP —August 2019


Relationships can be hard! Especially with that one kid you share a bedroom with. . . . During August we will be
looking at sibling relationships throughout the Bible and how we can let go of our anger and jealousy in order to better connect with one another and, ultimately, with God. Our key verse this month is John 15:12:“Love each other.”

If you would like to review this month’s series with your child, here are the the titles, texts and themes:
Cain Kills His Brother in Anger. Genesis 4:2–16. We show God’s love by controlling anger.
Joseph Steals His Brother’s Blessing. Genesis 27:1–45. We show God’s love by being honest.
Joseph Is Sold Into Slavery. Genesis 37:3–36. We show God’s love by encouraging each other.
Story of the Lost Son. Luke 15:11–32. We show God’s love by forgiving each other.

help us navigate our faith today. You will know and experience God more deeply and personally through this series. This study begins September 4 at 6:30 p.m. No registration necessary.

GOOD NEWS has shared the Good News of Jesus Christ in concerts in 43 states and Canada. On our 2019 tour next week we add #41 (Utah), #42 (Montana) and #43 (North Dakota).

GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors (and parents!), we have created several ways for you to stay in contact to receive all of the information about the Reunion Concert.

To update your contact information, register for the Reunion Concert, send e-invites to fellow GOOD NEWSers, share photos (we need your photos, especially the formal group shots), videos, and stories, and once you have registered to sing in the Reunion Concert, receive a link to download the concert music, go to: www.lincolnchristianchurch.org/GN50 , Check social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) with #GoodNews50, email us at GN50@lincolnchristianchurch.org.
