Even and Just

This Sunday our featured children's' story was "Lost and Found" by Oliver Jeffers. This is a book that was recommended by the Halvorson family. It is a beautifully illustrated tale of friendship and adventure. It also teaches a valuable lesson about how we sometimes fail to understand the actual needs of another when we make assumptions.

The message on this day was brought to us by guest pastor Jane Zinken and it is based on the appointed gospel reading...

Matthew 10:40-42

⁴⁰ “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. ⁴¹ Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. ⁴² And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
