Psalm 22 starts out famously with the Cry of Dereliction: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me," the cry of the crucified Son of God at the moment when he stands alone in the abyss of hell for the sake of humanity. But it miraculously ends with a description of all the nations submitting to this same Messiah who at the beginning was forsaken and alone. Throughout Scripture we see this same story told – God is planning to conquer the world through his messiah, but he is going to do it through the suffering of self-sacrificial love.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.

The ministry planning team is hard at work preparing for our Congregational Event to be held on Thursday, November 16th at 6:00 PM. This is an exciting opportunity for our congregation and everyone is encouraged to attend. Everyone is invited, from those new at St. James to longtime attenders, from students to seniors, from volunteers to leaders. Your input and attendance are vital to this process.
What opportunities has the Lord laid before St. James Church and how will they shape our future? How will you be engaged? Come, add your voice to the discussion at our Congregational Event. Dinner and child care will be provided. Please contact Cheryl in the church office to sign up. cheryl@stjamesglencarbon.org or 618-288-6120
