THIS WEEKEND
Sunday, January 29, 2011
Just because we've had a mild winter doesn't mean we haven't had some cold and dark times. Our worship this Sunday will offer encouragement for times we endure nights so dark that it seems like all we can do is hold on as we wait for dawn to come.
Worship: 11:00 a.m.
After worship (~12:00 p.m.):
Please stay for LUNCH and ANNUAL MEETING |

A worship preview from Pastor Laurel
Jack-in-the-box
I have often quoted a word from the Lord shared by the prophet Isaiah (43:18-19): “Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” I’ve used those verses in many different contexts, but the original meaning may be the most powerful one for Pencader Presbyterian Church right now. This prophecy was given after the people of Israel had been displaced from their home and forced into exile. It dates to the same period as Psalm 137: “By the waters of Babylon – there we sat down and there we wept when we remembered Zion.” The people were remembering “the former things.” Their grief over the loss of so much of their familiar and beloved “things of old” was obvious and entirely understandable.
Yet the Lord tells them to forget all that. There’s something new that’s just out of sight below the horizon.
