Claimed

You have been marked with the cross of Christ and sealed with his Holy Spirit forever.

Claimed as God's precious child.

My neighbor, Paul, came to worship at Faith for the first time yesterday. He told me that he felt right at home. Thank you.

Heidi, the kids, and I went to Good Shepherd in Westborough. The contemporary service was refreshing, but the welcome we lavish on visitors was missing. It felt like we were sitting in on someone else's meeting. Lots of insider language. Announcements before the benediction WAY too long.

When we come to worship, we ask the question the Psalmist poses, "Who is this king of glory?"

He's our king, our Father.
