Our Lectionary texts for this Sunday are Acts 10:44-48; Psalm 98; 1 John 5:1-6; and John 15:9-17.

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was also good friends with Lewis Carroll and encouraged him to pursue publication of what we know as "Alice in Wonderland." MacDonald asks and answers an important question:

Now what is the deepest in God? His power? No, for power could not make him what we mean when we say God. . . . Love is the deepest depth, the essence of his nature, at the root of all his being. . . . The love that foresees creation is itself the power to create.

Our Church provided over $3000 for the ministry of Gideons International in our special offering this last Sunday. May God use those resources to further God's Kingdom!

Next Sunday, May 5, is our annual meeting at McRae Church. We will not meet at our Memorial building but at McRae for worship, business, and lunch together. Bring a covered dish and enjoy our time together.
